Live in the moments you'll never forget...

Why a portrait shoot? There are so many reasons you need beautiful photos… to use as headshots for work, to share on social media, as a gift for your partner, or for your family, or simply because you don’t have any photos of yourself that you love. It’s time that you do. Why with me? Because I will take the most gorgeous photographs you have ever seen of yourself! Promise!

This isn't your average, everyday photo shoot. It is an empowering, pampering, transformative, luxury experience. Be prepared to feel like a model for the day!

We pamper you with hair and makeup, light and pose you to flatter all your favourite features and make sure you feel super confident from beginning to end. The end result?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hair and makeup included in your Session Fee?

Professional hair styling and makeup is included in the Session Fee. It is designed to pamper you, make you feel beautiful, poised and confident in front of the camera.

Do I have to bring my own clothes? What do I wear?

At the consultation I will provide you with a beautiful and very informative Welcome Pack that has tips about what to wear. We will discuss what photographs well and what doesn’t. I do have a small studio wardrobe you are welcome to look through and try on while you are here so you know in advance if they work for you or not. For a full portrait session you can bring 4-5 outfits that you love.

How long does a session with you take?

Generally my full portrait session can take anywhere from 3-5 hours depending how many people are being photographed, how many makeovers and how many outfit changes.

Do you only shoot in studio?

Yes as this way, I can give you consistent, high-quality results that are not dependant on the weather being perfect or a location being available to use. However, as I would love to photograph you how YOU want to be photographed, so, let’s discuss ANY ideas you might have and see how we can make them happen.

Will you be able to get a good photos of me? I am NOT photogenic at all/ I need to lose 10 kilos!

Part of my extensive education and experience as a professional photographer means that I am able to pose various body types and use numerous, creative lighting techniques. I always aim to show you the best portraits you have ever seen of yourself.

You don't need to stress about being photogenic! I will ensure you are relaxed, at ease and having fun during your session – no pressure to be perfect. I will guide you through every pose. You don’t need to worry about anything – I’ve got you!

I want to book a Portrait Session, where do I start?

Perfect! The first thing we will do is schedule a consultation so we can discuss how you want to be photographed, who you want to be photographed with, concept and wardrobe ideas and you can see some of my beautiful products! Call, text or email me so we can set this meeting up. My contact details are at the bottom of this page. I cannot wait to meet you and photograph you!

How far ahead do I need to book?

The perfect photoshoot takes time to plan and prepare for. I like to book sessions 3-4 weeks away. However, if you require things to be expedited, I will do my best to fit you in and still make sure we create what you are hoping for.

When do I have to pay?

The session fee is due at the time of making your booking. This will secure your session date. Roughly 2 weeks after your session you will return to view and purchase your products. Be prepare to love them all! Payments for all product will be due the day of your Reveal/ ordering session. We accept cash or credit cards and also offer easy-to-set-up payment plans.

Can I just get the digital files?

Absolutely. My goal is to provide you with products that will last for generations to come. Every image you purchase comes to you as both the digital image and the print. The price is the same whether you take home the print and digital, just the print or just the digital.

How long after my session will I get my images?

About two weeks after your portrait session you will return to my studio to view your images. You can then select the ones you would love to purchase. Once you select the images you love and pay for them in full, I send them off to a professional lab for printing. Turnaround is usually 2-3 weeks. Any wall art orders will also be placed then and can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks depending on the product.

What products do you offer?

I proudly offer the absolute highest quality products offered to professional photographers. My signature product is a custom-made Italian leather Reveal Folio Box handmade in Italy. I also offer fine art prints framed and unframed, acrylic wall art, and framed and unframed canvas wall art.

Being photogenic is not some special gift only a select few people have... a good photographer is trained to light and pose you so all that is lovely about you, is showcased in your images...
viola, photogenic!
