Family
It means a MILLION different things to a million different people. For us, it is LoveFriendship. HopeAnd a whole lot of FABULOUS chaos.

All of our sessions include the whole family unit – BUT sometimes our family units don’t always include a newborn or a baby – they include

older kiddos, grandparents, school age children, and this is where the family sessions come in.

We photograph these sessions at any of our locations – Studio, Forest & Field, Beach and Family Home.

You’ll see from the portfolio though, a lot of our families with older children choose somewhere outdoors, so they can run, play, have fun and be distracted by the fact that we our outside!

They say we have 18 summers. 18 summers with our kids and they are grown, and flown. Make the most of it. 

FAQ’S

Whilst we have a hotline direct to the Weather Gods, sometimes the reception isn’t great and we get bad weather. Don’t stress, we just reschedule.

Yes! Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents – no worries at all BUT, it does mean our time available for each family unit is far more limited. We do ask that we have just a single communication person and you are in charge of wrangling your family.

These sessions are heaps of fun, wonderfully relaxed and always a good dose of chaos.

So sorry, we don’t work on weekends either.

However, we generally plan our outdoor sessions around the best lighting and this is usually in the afternoon and evening, so most of our families can take an early minute from work and attend our sessions which start anywhere from 4 pm in Winter and 7pm in Summer.

Plain and simple works best, anything that you feel fabulous in. For partners, anything co-ordinating with you is perfect – keep it simple and steer clear of any large checks, spots, stripes or logos. If in doubt, just get in touch and we can help co-ordinate the whole family if you need.

If planning clothing for an extended family session, it’s best to give everyone a bit of a guideline, but don’t be too fussy. It’s all personal preference and having everyone happy and comfortable is a priority!

This is completely up to you, however we do find that mumma’s who invest a little bit in themselves, feel just that little bit more fabulous in front of the camera. And how you feel is what it’s all about at the end of the day!

So if it’s a good excuse to find 45 minutes to escape to be pampered, then go for it!
