Preparing for your experience
Thank you for choosing me to create some beautiful memories for you. I've created this Client Lounge as a space to help you feel prepared and comfortable ahead of your photography experience.
Below, you’ll find simple guides for each type of session, including what to expect on the day, what to bring, and how to get the most from your time here. There’s no need to take it all in at once; these guides are here for you to refer back to whenever you need.
When you’re ready, click on the relevant guide below. I’ll also be in touch personally a few days before your session to check in, answer any questions, and talk through the weather and timing.
These guides will also help you start thinking about how you’d love to enjoy the finished artwork in your home.

If you have an emergency on the day of your photo session and cannot make it to your appointment, please text me (Jo) on 0412 617 928 at your earliest convenience.
If your photo session is being held outdoors we are in a countryside micro-climate, so we work around what the day gives us.
If it’s unsafe, we reschedule. If it’s drizzle, a moody sky or cloud cover, you might end up with the most breathtaking portraits.
I will check the weather first thing on the morning of your session and I’ll contact you via phone or text to cancel if need be and will organise to reschedule for you, or arrange to move it to a studio session if you prefer.
Studio sessions are rarely impacted by weather.
If for any reason you need to reschedule please notify me as soon as possible.
Photography Sessions can be rescheduled one (1) time at no cost. Additional reschedules are charged at $50 per date change. If 48 hours notice is not provided, You may forfeit the session Fee/Holding Deposit as outlined in the Booking Proposal.
Rescheduling due to weather will not incur charges.

This is where the magic really happens. Browse the artwork guide to explore your options, and keep the pricing menu handy as a reference.
Between now and your reveal, design and ordering appointment please take some time to think about how you'd like to see these portraits displayed in your home. Generally all of our clients leave our studio with at least piece of wall art and a collection of fine art prints and matching digital files.
I have amazing software that will allow you to see your photos on the wall at the correct size before you make any purchasing decisions. This means I can ensure it looks perfect and will be the right match for your home and style. All you need to do is send me some photos of the wall space in your home where you might like to hang your artwork, and I will do the rest. Just follow the simple steps outlined in the guide below to get the best photos and then email them through to me at least 24 hours before your reveal is ideal.
