The Portrait Experience
Remember the days when you’d rock up to the petrol station and there’d be someone there to fill your car for you, wash your windows and even top up your oil for you? Well, think of this as the same thing.
We will meet before your session to talk so that we can customise your experience for you and your family. I will help you with designing your session to fit you and your family personally. We talk about what to wear, where the best places in Canberra are for the season and I will present you with many ideas so you can have ideas for how to potentially display your portraits.
Then after the portrait session, I will guide you through selecting your images so that you can think about how exactly you want to display them. Finally, I will prepare the images for you, using the best quality, archival products that will last beyond your lifetime. For more information on the family portrait experience, visit this page.
Play based sessions
Have you been putting off a family photo session because you hate the idea of being meticulously posed, positioned and instructed to look and smile at the camera? Maybe you know that THAT particular situation just isn’t going to fly with your children…! I have gamified my family sessions where we literally play game after game after game which are conducive to getting beautiful, interactive, connected photos so that you can be in the moment and focus on playing with your children.
I spend an hour or so with each family and we literally just play games that are designed specifically to capture love and connection and happy moments that you and your family will treasure. Best thing about it? When you are happy and relaxed and playing. You look extremely photogenic!
Of course we try to get a few looking and smiling at the camera moments too, but only when everyone is warmed up and already having a great time.

make your investment decisions when you view your photos
Maybe you’ve been putting off a session because you feel stressed about the idea of paying a session fee and then find out you don’t love the photos to purchase any. What a waste of money and time! I get that it doesn’t matter if the photographer has a portfolio of stunning images. You’re worried about YOUR family and how they will act and behave on the day.
I don’t charge a session fee, so you can relax and know that you don’t have to buy anything until you see your photos in front of you for the first time.
Imagine how much more relaxed you will be knowing that there is literally no pressure on you or your kids to perform. Just come, play with me for an hour and I guarantee I will get amazing photos full of love and connection.
