I specialise in Family, Weddings and Commercial work, but I have a passion for all types of photography. I enjoy the challenge of creative work, so if there is something out of the box you are after, please use my contact form here to send me a message.

Yes, occasionally I run mini sessions, where you pay a small fee (generally $40-50) for a short session (5-15 minutes) and receive 1-2 edited photos. Keep an eye on my Facebook and Instagram for these sessions, they are a few times per year. My Mother's Day and Christmas mini sessions are my most popular!

Of course! Making sure we are on the same page is super important to me. I'm always available to chat over the phone or on a zoom call. For jobs of 2 hours or more duration, we can arrange a meeting in person if you would like. Alternatively, you can fill out an enquiry form on my contact page, here.

Booking a photography session is easy. Simply go to my booking page here and follow the prompts to choose your session.

Once you have chosen a date and time for your session, I require a deposit to confirm your booking. The booking confirmation fee is $50. This is deducted from your session balance.

It depends on the session you book.

Mini Sessions are held occasionally during the year. These are 10 minutes long and you will receive a private online gallery where you will choose your favourite x1 image for high resolution download. I always end up getting plenty of great images, so if you wish to purchase more there are packages available, from $15 per photo.

Short and Sweet - Family sessions and Headshot / Product Shot - Commercial sessions are 30 minutes and for this you choose your favourite x5 images for high resolution download. If you wish to purchase more digital images, there are packages available, from $10 per photo.

Full - Family sessions, Painting - Family sessions and Personal Branding / Business Showcase - Commercial sessions, are approximately 1 hour and you receive all of the edited photos (50+).

Location is such an important part of representing who you are and what you are about. I'm based in Ōmokoroa, so I do have a few places that are favourites of mine

• Hamurana Reserve
• Ōmokoroa Domain beach
• Cooney Reserve beach
• Huharua Reserve at Plummers Point

As I don't yet have a studio at home, I will travel to your location for our shoot. It could be a local cafe, your workplace or even your own home.

If you are more than 15km out of Ōmokoroa, I do charge a travel fee of $0.50 per km, so please bear this in mind when choosing a location. I am open to discussing travel and accommodation costs for larger jobs or weddings, so please get in touch.

I totally understand the anticipation of seeing your photos. My editing process typically takes up to 1-2 weeks, depending on my current workload, the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. More often I deliver quicker than this.

Wedding photography is the exception, with a 4-6 week turnaround. This is due to the quantity of images and level of editing required to make them as beautiful as possible!

Yes, absolutely! Sometimes the photos I think are the best are not always the ones you like the most. Your private online gallery allows you to create a favourites list by clicking a heart next to your favourite images. You can choose as many as we have included in your session, or add more if you just can't decide for an additional cost.

If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. Likewise if you wake up the morning of the shoot and you are really not well at all, I'd rather we reschedule. When it comes to kids, a bit of a snotty nose or a cough is generally workable, provided they are otherwise happy. Life happens, and if it's something beyond your control please don't worry - we can work it out.

Sometimes life throws curve balls or unexpected things happen. I'm generally very understanding about postponements or cancellations, so if something genuine has come up, please contact me as soon as possible. I am a small business and losing your session has a significant financial impact on me, plus my ability to rebook your session time to someone else. For these reasons, I have fees payable and these are outlined below.

• 7+ days in advance, full refund of $50 booking confirmation fee
• 3-7 days in advance, $50 booking confirmation fee forfeited
