FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Te Puke, with Pāpāmoa Beach as my standard session location. Travel to Pāpāmoa is included in your session fee. If you have another location in mind, I'm always happy to discuss options, with any additional travel costs confirmed before booking.
When will we get our photos?
I’m just as eager to get your photos to you as you are to receive them! My goal is to have your gallery ready within 5 days of your session. You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and download your images in both full-resolution and web-sized formats. If your session includes a set number of shots, you'll get a gallery to choose your included shots, and add any additionals you'd like.
What do I wear?
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and like yourself! I generally recommend neutral, earthy or complementary tones, with plenty of texture and movement, rather than matching outfits or bold logos and patterns. Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive my session guide with more styling tips to help you pull everything together. At the end of the day though, these are your photos and they should feel like a true reflection of your family - so wear what feels like you
What happens if the weather isn't suitable?
A little cloud never hurt anyone! But if the weather really isn’t on our side, we will reschedule your session to another suitable date. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your session and make the call as close to the time as practical - BOP weather can change quickly! Your comfort and the quality of your photos will always come first.
What happens after I book?
Once your session is booked and paid, you’ll receive a confirmation along with a short questionnaire so I can get to know you and your family a little better. You’ll also receive my session guide with everything you need to prepare, including styling tips and what to expect on the day. From there, I’ll take care of the planning so you can simply turn up, relax and enjoy some time together! Questions are always welcome in the lead up to your shoot.
What does 'full gallery' mean?
A full gallery means you’ll receive all of the final images I select and professionally edit from your session, rather than having to choose a set number of favourites. I curate your gallery to remove double-ups, test shots, missed focus and anything that isn't up to scratch. The final number will vary from session to session, but you can expect a minimum of 20 images.
