The consultation part of your session is solely for your benefit. This is where I will ask you several questions to get to know what your likes, dislikes, wants and concerns might be for your upcoming shoot. This is where we will plan the set design so I can best stage the session ready for your arrival. This is where you get to tell me the style you would prefer, the overall look you are after and any other items (such as heirlooms) you would like incorporated. If we are working with animals, you can let me know a little bit about their personality so I can prepare. If you are looking for a fairytale session, you will try the gowns on. The consultation really has many purposes, but mainly it is so I don't just turn up to your session unprepared and snapping random pictures that aren't capturing who you are or the look you want.

Consultations are usually a week or two prior to your shoot (or just after booking if you prefer) This allows me time to prepare and stage with the right props, lighting and various other tools I have available.

ABSOLUTELY! This is your time. If you want to change 2 or 3 times, by all means do. It will increase the variety of looks and imagery you will have to choose from.

I encourage you to include your pets whenever possible! I truly love animals and the energy they bring to a session. This can be discussed in detail during your consultation?

One of my absolute favourite subjects to work with. As a horse gal myself, I love having the opportunity to create imagery with such a majestic animal.

As we will have had a full consultation prior to your session and everything will be ready to go, I ask that you arrive 5 minutes early just to run through the details one more time so our time together is fun and effortless on the day.

If we are working with animals, we will discuss this in detail during your consultation.

A deposit of 50% of your session fee is required to reserve your fairy session.

A deposit of 25% of all other session packages is required to reserve your date and time. 

I am here to work with you. I understand that sometimes life happens and our best intentions can be pushed aside by unexpected circumstances. I ask for 24 hours notice to cancel your session. The deposit will be refunded to you. If you wish to simply reschedule for a more convenient date and time, then your deposit will carry over to the new session booking. If you fail to attend your scheduled session and no prior notice was provided then your deposit is non-refundable.

With a large viewing screen in studio, you will select your images on the day of your session.This system allows you to see your proofs immediately vs waiting up to 2 weeks for proofs to be prepared.  If you are unable to stay and do this on the day, we can schedule a better day and time for you to return and select your images. Online proofing is not offered for a few reasons.

Firstly, even though they are proofs, they still have to be processed and uploaded to a program in order for you to view them. This takes quite a bit of time which greatly adds to the proofing timeline and ultimately delays you receiving your final images (especially during busy seasons) 

Secondly, I have found that there are generally a lot of questions regarding proofs, such as: can you crop the image differently? Can you fix that blemish? Can you show it to me in black and white? to name a few... I can answer all questions live and in person. We can discuss size options and changes in real time. 

Thirdly, by reviewing them immediately we can address any concerns you have rather than emailing back and forth.
