Authentically You
Capture those precious memories, authentically
Authentically You
My style is very much to capture life's most authentic and joyful moments as they unfold. I will generally give prompts rather than poses, I absolutely love capturing those candid moments that reveal the love, connection and vulnerability that you and your loved ones share together.
"But I feel so awkward in front of a camera, how do I act natural..." I hear you say...
Focus on each other. Play games, dance, sing, laugh, cuddle, kiss, tickle, explore your surroundings. Be fully in the moment together.
Why hire a family photographer?
Pause. Preserve. Reflect.
Why hire a family photographer?
Life is busy. Cameras on our phones are such a convenient way to get some snaps throughout our day to day lives. There's just one thing missing. YOU. Yes you, the person who is always behind the camera.
Booking in some time to get quality photos of your WHOLE family enjoying each others company TOGETHER is so important. Not only for you, but for your children and their children to look back on for years to come. Whether you get them yearly or every few years, they're a great way to preserve and reflect.
The Process
01.
Secure A Booking
I will generally advertise my availability via my social media pages, however please get in touch any time and I'm sure we can find a date and time that works for both of us!
I will then send you through a contract to sign and an invoice, noting that a deposit is required to secure your booking. You will also receive a questionnaire, so that I can get a good idea of what you are after.
I will be in contact to work out the finer details of the session in the lead up to the day (exact location to meet, exact time).
02.
Choose a Location
I offer predominantly outdoor sessions, and the location is totally up to you. Adelaide has some beautiful options, from forests and national parks, to beaches, fields and hills. Think about what vibe or feeling you are after, possibly even the colour palette you may like if you'll be hanging some prints up in your home.
Places that are special and meaningful to you are a great place to start as well, this is your story we are telling after all!
I can offer suggestions/ideas if you're unsure.
In-home sessions are also available.
03.
Photo Time!
I like to try and make our time together feel as relaxed as possible, and aim for everyone involved to feel like they just had a fun time together enjoying each others company.
For family sessions I'll likely also throw some suggestions or prompts in there, to help get some of those magical shots.
For maternity & newborn sessions I will likely give more directions for poses.
04.
Enjoy Your Images
Once my editing process is complete, I will share the finished images with you via an online gallery. You will be provided with instructions on how to download your images. It is important that you download these promptly and save them somewhere safe and secure. Galleries will remain active on my portal for 3 months and then will be deleted.
Client Wardrobe
I have a number of items in my client wardrobe which are available for you to borrow.
You can view the Guide Here.
Please let me know at least 1 week prior to your session date if you would like to borrow anything, so I can be sure that it is ready for you.
I will bring this along to the session, and take it home with me after.
