01.

consultation

As your family photographer, I want to create a custom photo session for you.  My process begins with a planning appointment to introduce my services, showcase my collections and plan an unforgettable portrait session for you and your family. 
This allows me to customise your photo session to your vision. It allows me to guide you through the process, show you the products I offer, and explain everything that is part of the experience.

02.

Secure a Date

Anniversaries, birthdays, and LIFE happen every day.  I am available throughout the year to capture your precious memories.  My studio is open for sessions Monday to Friday and alternating weekends.  New born sessions take place during the week as I assign more time to photograph you and your new addition to the family... babies have their own schedule.

Family weekend sessions are very popular, we work together to find the right date for you , working around sports and life!

03.

Location

There are so many locations in the Manawatu for your photo session. The location of your session is up to you! I have a gorgeous studio space and I know some of the best places to take photos out on location.  During our planning appointment we will match the vision you have for your family session with the best location.
So, whether it's my studio, a manicured garden, rustic long grass or by the river, we will find the right fit for you!

04.

Style Guide

I'll send you a Style Guide once your session is confirmed. It's information to prepare you for your session.

There's information regarding outifts, coordinating your family, and details on how to make the session as smooth as possible.

During your session

I will capture your children as they naturally are: having fun and full of laughter, being cheeky or ‘crazy’, loving life and loving you. I offer a very relaxed atmosphere for you and your family, we will have a whole lot of fun and create a variety of images to ensure we get the images that capture your family’s personality.    The more relaxed we are the more relaxed the children are, and what if there are some emotions... That is totally fine!  We just regroup, find a distraction and reset, very little phases me.  Allow 1 hour for your photography session.

Your design session

1-2 weeks later we meet at my studio for your design appointment. It is here that the magic happens. I will help you every step of the way. We will start with a custom slide show of your session, and then you choose your favourite images. From there we will begin to design a package that meets your needs, providing you with gorgeous wall art and original pieces to be treasured for a lifetime. Allow 1.5 hours for finalising your choice. All that is left for you to do is choose the pieces you love.

07.

Collection of your artwork

 

Your finished artwork will be available to collect 5-6 weeks after your design appointment. You then get to proudly display your gorgeous family in your own home.

I am looking forward to meeting you and your family, and creating amazing artwork for you.
