The Experience
PLAN
AHEAD
Book early (soon in the second trimester is best) to avoid disappointment. For newborns we book a provisional date that is updated once baby arrives. Sessions are held on weekdays and typically start at 10.30am.
HAIR
+ MAKE-UP
When you feel great it shows. Our stylist will help you add some gloss to your everyday look. We want you look like yourself - but on a really good day
Please let us know when booking if this is of interest and we will make the arrangements for you
PRINTED + DIGITAL COLLECTIONS
Your images are printed in my workroom using a fine-art printer and archival quality paper. This ensures your portraits have the longevity to become treasured family heirlooms
Your images are printed as 5"x7" in an 8"x10" mount
All purchased images come with matching digital files
STYLE
CONSULTATION
We will have a telephone consultation before your session to plan the shoot. We will discuss your style preferences and vision for your final collection as well as your plans for the images
GUIDED
PHOTO SHOOT
You don't need to be a natural in front of the camera, we guide you through the family poses to ensure you feel and look your best. We are trained and experienced in newborn handling and will ensure your baby is comfortable and safe throughout
CHOOSING YOUR COLLECTION
Subject to your chosen collection minimum there is no obligation to buy anything extra; however many clients choose to upgrade at this point.
All collections include a keepsake box and display easel. Larger collections include a handmade wooden frame or Italian Portrait Box
STYLE
+ SESSION PLAN
