HOW DO I BOOK AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Please fill out a booking request form with as much detail as possible. Knowing what your availability, type of session and any special requirements prior before locking in a date is important. Once the booking request has been sent off allow up to 48hrs for a reply from me (mum life)
Once we confirm a date I will send an invoice out to you that has to be pain within 24hrs to secure your booking. After your invoice has been paid I will send out a questionnaire for you to complete. This allows me to learn more about you and your wildest dreams for your session.
I document every session differently. Your story is unique to you so please fill out the questionnaire with as much detail as you can.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK MY MATERNITY SHOOT?
This answer is different for each and every mama. My personal preference is between 30-34 weeks. I find that last month of pregnancy can be extremely difficult and mentally can be super tough. I also have some mamas that like to wait until the very end to capture their bump as big as itll go, So this is something Im happy to discuss with you.
Its also really important to me that you get your gallery back while your still pregnant so that you can enjoy your images before bub arrives. I find You feel a big sense of connection to bub once you receive your gallery back and get even more excited for their arrival .

DO YOU HAVE A CLIENT WARDROBE?
I have a few special pieces that are available to you when you make a booking. They fit a size 6-26 and they are pieces that compliment any women's shape or size. You dont need to wear these items if you dont want too and alot of my clients like to buy or hire their own.
My biggest advice is wear something that feels like YOU! Dont try and dress a part that doesn't feel authentic to you or your style. There is nothing worse then looking at a photo on the wall of yourself and wondering who is staring back at you.
There are of course colours that compliments my editing style and they are browns, earthy tones and blacks.

HOW DO I RECEIVE MY GALLERY AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Depending on if i'm in a busy seasons or not galleries can take anywhere from 2-5 weeks. 5 weeks being big stories like a wedding but roughly around the 3 month mark.

DO YOU PICK THE FINAL PHOTOS OR DO I PICK THEM?
I cull through the gallery and pick your final collection. I find this is less pressure on the client and that way you only end up with the beautiful final gallery finished and edited to perfection .
When you open your gallery I want you to sit down and take a moment to feel all the feels and emotions of the collections and that cant be done with raw files getting sent back and forth.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
My packages are spilt up into 2 payment. Deposit paid and then the final payment is due 48hrs before we shoot. My bigger session like a bump to baby package and weddings can be spilt into 2-4 payments.

WHAT IF ITS RAINING ON THE DAY OF OUR SHOOT?
I get asked this all the time and my answer is simple. EMBRACE the RAINNN! Im extremely confident is shooting in any lighting situation. Will however reschedule if we are doing a outdoor newborn session or a family session with young children.

IM WORRIED MY KIDS WONT BEHAVE..
Join the club mama! haha I think every single cleint says this to me.
Let kids be kids. Remember we are creating space to create moments and memories that you can one day show your children. My sessions are child led and i'm extremely flexible. I know if you asked my toddler to do something she would probably scream in your face and run away. I ask you to bring a few special items from home and I base my family sessions around actually doing a activity to connect rather then stand in a field and smile. The most engaged children are the happier everyone will be.
Let them be and I promise magic will happen.
