General Questions

What’s included in the booking fee?
The booking fee includes a planning appointment at your home, the photography session itself, and an in-person ordering appointment at your home where you’ll choose your final images and products.

How far in advance should I book a session?
I recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance, especially if you have a specific date in mind. For peak seasons, like holidays, earlier is better.

Do you offer payment plans?
I don’t offer in-house payment plans, but I do accept credit cards, which may allow you to set up payments through your bank."

Do you have a studio, or do you only shoot on location?
I don’t have a studio, but there are a few available for rent in Darwin if you’d like a studio setting. I primarily work on location, which means I can come to your home, a beautiful outdoor spot, or any location that fits your vision—as long as we have permission to be there.

Can we do the session at my home?
Absolutely! Many clients love the comfort and personal feel of a home session. I can also help you choose the best spots in your home for beautiful light and a stunning result.

What happens if the weather is bad (for outdoor sessions)?
If we have an outdoor session planned and the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll either reschedule or switch to an indoor location. I’ll always work with you to find the best option.

Do you travel outside of Darwin for sessions?
Yes, I do! If you’re outside Darwin, let me know where you’d like your session, and we can discuss travel options and any additional fees.

What’s your availability?
My availability varies, but I do my best to accommodate your preferred date. Evenings fill up quickly, so I recommend booking early. I don’t offer custom sessions on weekends, but reach out, and we’ll find a time that works for you!

Session-Specific Questions

How long does a session usually take?
It depends on what we’re capturing. Some sessions are quite short, while others take longer—I don’t set a strict time limit, so we’ll take the time needed to get the best results.

Can I include multiple types of photos in one session (e.g., family + pet + headshots)?
Yes! My custom experience is perfect for this. If you have multiple photography needs, we can incorporate them into one session to capture everything in a seamless way.

Can I bring my pet to my session?
Yes! I love photographing pets. Whether it’s a dog, cat, bird, small animal like a rabbit or guinea pig, or even livestock, they’re always welcome in your session. If you're bringing larger animals, we’ll just need to plan the location accordingly.

Do you help with posing? I’m not photogenic!
Absolutely! My job is to guide you into natural, flattering poses so you feel comfortable and confident. Most clients worry about this, and they always end up loving the results.

What should I wear? Do you provide styling advice?
Yes! While I don’t provide a session guide, I personally help each client choose their outfits based on the look and feel they want. We’ll go over options during your planning appointment.

Can I bring props or special items to the shoot?
Yes! If there’s something meaningful you’d like to include—whether it’s a sentimental item, a hobby-related prop, or something fun for your pet—let me know, and we’ll work it in.

Products & Ordering

What kind of products do you offer?
I offer a range of high-quality printed products, including albums, wall art, and fine art prints. These are designed to last for generations and look stunning in your home.

Can I just get digital files?
I believe in the power of printed images, so I focus on tangible products. However, digital files are available as part of certain packages or alongside printed products.

Do you offer albums and wall art?
Yes! Albums and wall art are some of my most popular products because they turn your images into something truly special that you can enjoy every day.

Do you help with choosing the right prints for my home?
Yes! During your in-person ordering appointment, I’ll help you decide which products and sizes best fit your space and style.

What if I want a type of printed product you don’t have listed?
I’m always open to special requests! If there’s a product you have in mind, let me know, and I’ll see if I can source it for you.

Post-Session & Delivery

How long does it take to get my photos?
You’ll see your images at your in-person ordering appointment, usually within two weeks of your session. After you place your order, final products typically take a few weeks, depending on what you choose and and how long the mailing system takes to deliver..

Will my images be retouched?
Yes! I provide natural, professional retouching to enhance your images while keeping them true to you.

Can I see all the photos, or do you choose the best ones?
I would love to show you all the photos, but I know it can be overwhelming, so I help by removing any unflattering shots and only showing the best ones at your ordering appointment. I also only edit the images you decide to purchase, so the ones you see at the appointment won’t yet be edited.

Can I share my images on social media?
Yes! Any digital images included in your package come with permission to share.

Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! Photography makes a meaningful and lasting gift. Let me know if you’d like to purchase a voucher for someone special.

Business & Experience

What makes you different from other photographers in Darwin?
I offer a highly personalised experience, from the planning appointment to the final delivery of your products. I also provide in-home ordering appointments to make the process easy and enjoyable. My approach ensures you receive images that feel natural, elegant, and truly you.

How long have you been a photographer?
I’ve been a photographer for several years, and my experience allows me to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience for every client while delivering stunning images.

What’s your experience with pets/small children/older adults?
I have extensive experience photographing all of the above! I understand how to work with pets, keep kids engaged, and create a comfortable experience for older adults. Every session is customised to make sure everyone involved has a great time.
