FAQ
What is the booking process?
I believe connection matters, this is a chance for us to get to know each other, understand your story and vision, and ensure we’re the right fit for you. From there, simply fill out the enquiry form with your preferred date and time. I’ll review your request and be in touch to confirm availability. Once your date and location (I’ll guide you through this) are confirmed, you’ll receive your contract, questionnaire, and invoice. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking in the calendar, with the remaining balance due 3 days prior to your session. From there, I’ll guide you through everything to ensure a calm, beautiful, and effortless experience. 🤍
I’m not photogenic, will you help with posing?
Absolutely. Most people feel camera shy at first, and that’s completely normal. I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts and movements so nothing feels stiff or forced, by the end of the session, you’ll feel relaxed and confident.
What should I wear to my session?
Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll send through a client wardrobe guide to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully. I recommend soft, neutral tones like nudes, browns, whites, creams, and blacks. These colours complement my editing style and keep the focus on you. Avoid bright colours, heavy patterns, and logos, as they can be distracting in photos.
How long does a portrait session take?
Session lengths vary depending on the package you choose, but most portrait sessions run between 60–120 minutes. This allows plenty of time for settling in, guided posing, and capturing genuine moments without rushing.
When will we receive our photos?
Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within 2 weeks maximum. I carefully edit each image to ensure the final photos are timeless and beautifully finished. With a few sneaks peaks given within 48 hours.
Can I bring children, partners, or include cultural elements?
Yes, partners, children, and whānau are always welcome depending on your chosen package. Cultural elements such as korowai, pareu, leis, or meaningful taonga are encouraged and beautifully honoured within your session.
