SESSION INFORMATION
Below you’ll find a description of each of the photographic sessions our studio offers.
Of course, this is flexible, we love to create images with our clients’ input and consultation. A team effort to create something amazing for your family.
pregnancy
Our pregnancy sessions are a simple celebration of this precious time in your lives. The whole family is more than welcome to attend.
We emphasise the unspoken connection between you and your unborn babe. Celebrating the beautiful form of your rolling tummy.
These sessions are best held between 34-38 weeks.
The pregnancy sessions include a private online viewing gallery of approximately 30 – 40 images – from here you select two of your favourite images which will be collated and bound in a 5×7″ Folio for you to keep.
When purchasing a digital collection with your newborn session, digital files from your pregnancy session are included as well (sorry, digital files are not included in the $285 session fee).
We have a beautiful collection of maternity wear for our mums to borrow and these compliment any clothing you’d like to bring with you.
Many of our mums enjoy having hair and make up done prior to the session – there is the amazing Eliza at The Vine Hair next door to the studio available for hair appointments (please book early) and we’re happy to offer suggestions for makeup artists too.
Pregnancy sessions are charged at $285 and include a 5×7″ oatmeal-covered portrait folio valued at $395, combine your pregnancy and newborn session fees and save.
newborn
Our newborn sessions are usually held at our Torrens Park studio, an ideal place to relax and enjoy your new little person, but can be booked as a location session outdoor or in your home.
Newborns are best photographed under 2 weeks of age and as such it is really important that you book as early as possible, before your baby is born. Your session date is based on your estimated due date and adjusted once your little one arrives.
Booking early is really really important. Our diary fills very quickly. We’ve had clients book the day they found out they were pregnant – it’s never too early!
Newborn sessions often take around 1 – 1.5 hours. There is always plenty of opportunities for feeding and settling.
Siblings are welcome and all immediate family are involved at no extra charge. As our style and philosophy is all about connection and love, it’s really important that the whole family is involved.
Bring along sentimental items such as wraps etc, but don’t worry too much about what baby will wear as the studio has all the wraps and blankets needed to create the images you see in our portfolio.
We have a lovely selection of clothing available for our mum’s to wear (and some simple t-shirts/linen shirts for dads too if needed) so please get in touch and let us know if you’d like to borrow anything from the studio wardrobe. You can find all the clothing available here.
Our newborn sessions are $285 and include the session itself, full editing of your images and presentation of your final images at your design and ordering appointment as well as a matted or loose 8×10″ art print valued at $195. Check out the ‘step by step’ guide for further information, and you can purchase your session over here. (Sorry digital files are not included in the session fee).
baby
The next best age to photograph your little one after the newborn stage is around the 6-9 month mark, when they are sitting up but not yet crawling away.
This milestone varies greatly from baby to baby.
Photographed in studio or on location/in your home, these sessions usually last around 30 minutes to 1 hour, and are guided entirely by your babe and what they are wanting to do at the time.
A good sleep and a full tummy are usually all they need to have a great session at this age.
Like all our sessions, the whole family is included at no extra charge. These sessions are charged at $285 and include the session itself, full editing of your images and presentation of your final images at your design and ordering appointment, as well as a matted or loose 8×10″ art print valued at $195. Check out the ‘step by step’ guide for further information, you can purchase your session over here. (sorry digital files are not included in the session fee)
let them eat cake
Our cake sessions are a crazy, fun and messy session to celebrate baby’s first birthday.
It is beautiful to watch their little personalities shine when confronted with a birthday cake all of their own.
These sessions take approximately 1 hour and include a small number of family photographs at the beginning and a ‘wash up’ session at the end. They are wonderful, fast, often slightly chaotic and always messy sessions!
Best between 10-12 months, includes a beautiful professionally baked and decorated cake, styling, bubbles and heaps of fun.
Can also be held on their actual birthday as a wonderful celebration – book early to secure your preferred date!.
Of course, not all of our clients want to get messy, and this is totally fine. First birthday sessions are beautiful just on their own, surrounded by mum and dad and siblings and letting their interests shine through – bring some favourite toys and play.
Let them eat cake sessions are charged at $285 and include the cake, styling, bubbles for the session, full editing of your images and presentation of your final images at your design and ordering appointment as well as a matted or loose 8×10″ art print valued at $195. Check out the ‘step by step’ guide for further information, you can purchase your session over here. (sorry digital files are not included in the session fee)
family
Family sessions are held either in studio (for smaller families or those with very young kiddos), at your family home or at our fave forest and field location (we are also offering beach sessions too!). Studio sessions give more flexibility in terms of times of day and weather (because the light is always amazing) but outdoor sessions provide beautiful back drops especially as the weather changes from season to season.
We photograph our forest and field sessions at a gorgeous location near Blackwood in the Adelaide Hills, and our beach sessions are held at Port Willunga Beach.
We open a number of sessions during the school holidays for our school age families, so just let us know if this would work best for your family but please book early as the school holiday availability does book up quickly.
Family and outdoor/location sessions are charged at $285. This includes the session itself, travel (within 20 minutes or so of the studio if we are coming to your family home), full editing of your images and presentation of your final images at your design and ordering appointment, as well as a matted 8×10″ art print valued at $195.
