I live in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia but travel far and wide to photograph my clients!

I travel up to 40 KM from Melbourne CBD. If you are further than this there will be a small travel fee. If you don't want to pay a travel fee then you are welcome to choose a location a bit closer to my neck of the woods!

It's quite simple, you can use THIS LINK to choose a date that you'd like your shoot to take place. Once you've indicated that, I'll email you back within 24 hours with your own client portal. Inside you'll be able to choose which Collection you'd like to book and there will also be a link to pay a $300 deposit to lock your date in. If you feel like you'd like a quick phone chat before you commit then that's no problem at all! Just email me and I'll call you!

Great question, we live in Melbourne after all! 

I keep a close eye on the weather in the lead up to your shoot. If it looks like it's going to rain or blow your family away then I'll happily reschedule your shoot!

That's a good question! We basically hangout, play a few games with the kids. Sometimes I'll give you direction and a few silly prompts and sometimes I'll document you just as you are. 

My heart desperately wants to capture your natural connection and make you cry happy tears when you see your images. If you see this time as just enjoying your family and not putting pressure on your kids to perform or smile at the camera then we will make a great team!

I'll always ask you if I need help with your kiddos but really, it works well when you leave kid management up to me. I hope that takes some pressure off you?! 

If you happened to have a lovely neutral textured blanket then bring it along [I sometimes like to get you all lying or sitting down]. But if you don't have one then don't don't worry, we'll get amazing photos regardless!

I don't! And this is a very deliberate choice. Let me explain...

I really want to photograph your family in the most authentic way I can and I feel that if I had my clients all wearing the same dresses and outfits that I'd be trying to fit you into my mould, rather than capturing your authentic heartbeat as a family, just as you are! Which, is what lights my heart on fire the most, capturing families authentically and honestly.

When it comes to clothing and what to wear for your shoot, I want you to be comfortable and wear something that is 'you!'

You don't need to impress me, or dress how you think I might like. You, your clothing choice and your family are enough, just as you are. I've had Mother's wear shorts, jeans, skirts and dresses! Anything goes... except big logos and large stripes! lol 

But if you really don't know what to wear and want some Inspo then you can CLICK HERE with a link to some ideas. 

If your kids are still napping then giving them a nap later in the day can help as we are almost always out past their usual bedtime. 

I know breaking routine for a night can feel a bit anxiety inducing (I'm int he thick of routine life atm!) but usually, when kids are outdoors and in an environment that's fun and new they do pretty well. They (and you) always have the next day to recover! And fun little snacks always help to keep them going... 

Absolutely YES, don't even ask! I can even take a few photos of you feeding if you'd like? Breastfeeding photos are always beautiful but I know it's not for everyone and I always ask before I start snapping.

That's totally OK, we can reschedule although, it might not always be possible to find a time in that ideal 2 week old window. And just know that if I am sick myself (even slightly) then we will reschedule too. I'd hate to transfer any germs to a precious new baby so there is grace both ways when it comes to sickness.

I have a 14 day turn around time!

I'm sure there will be a few moments of this! Kids, babies (even partners) usually feel the pressure of photoshoot day and the amount of times I hear "but he is usually so happy!"

Don't worry this happens ALL the time. Sometimes kids just need to stop, have a drink or snack and then they are good to go again. Just know... I am sensitive to your family and the little people break downs and if you guys need to stop then we do.

The worst thing you can do in this situation is get angry with your kids. It never works and it's hard to bring them back emotionally. Take the lead from me, I always have a few tricks up my sleeve!  

No, not really. I'm all about embracing and loving the real you! I definitely edit your images to suit my 'Amy Oliver Style' but I'm not a photographer who smooths skin or makes you look skinnier. If you are after this kind of thing then I might not be the right photographer for you.

Of course! I'm sorry this has to even be a FAQ [but I have been asked]! Family is family and now let's just pretend this isn't a question, OK?!
