Why Choose Us ?

We're experienced. We've been creating portraits for more than 30 years, and over the last decade, we've specialised in photographing maternity, newborns, and families. Alongside this, we've continued to perfect our craft, developing modern, impactful images for professionals and show-stopping contemporary portraits that celebrate the important people in our clients' lives.

We're award-winning. I won my first national photography award when I was 16 and, over the years, our work has been recognised and awarded at both the national and international levels.

 

But, above all, we're passionate about creating a refined boutique experience that feels luxurious but effortless and results in images that you will love.

3. SHOOT

It's OK to feel nervous; most people don't like having their photos taken.​ But don't worry — you don't need to be a natural in front of the camera. We'll guide you every step of the way.

When you arrive, we'll have everything ready based on our pre-session consultation. You'll be able to look through our extensive wardrobe, and we'll fine-tune our shot list.

We have lots of home comforts, with hot and cold drinks and comfy couches where you can relax.

Pre-session consultation

This enables us to learn more about you and anyone else being photographed. To respect your time, we typically hold the pre-session consultation via phone or Zoom.

The planning session will cover:

  • Creating a wardrobe plan

  • Selecting key backgrounds and props

  • Creating a provisional shot list

  • Strategies for helping young kids feel comfortable on the shoot

  • Understanding any needs you or your family may have during the shoot 

  • Answering your questions

  • A run through of what to expect on the shoot day.

You'll choose your images from a fully retouched gallery. Your images will be printed and mounted, ready for you to take home. 

Most clients also choose to purchase wall art and/or some of our beautiful display products.

 

We'll design your artwork during your viewing appointment, and we'll organise everything else.
