01

Discovery Call

We start with a conversation about your family, what you’re hoping to create and how you’d like to enjoy your portraits at home. We’ll also talk about where your portraits might hang and what you’d like to invest, so there are no surprises later.

I’ll explain the experience and answer your questions. It’s a chance to get to know each other and make sure the experience feels right for you.

Once you’re booked, and paid the retainer fee, you’ll receive a styling guide to help you prepare.

Weekend sessions are popular and can book out well ahead, so if there’s a date that suits your family, it’s worth booking early.

02

Your Studio Session

Your session takes place in our private Melbourne portrait studio and lasts around an hour.

There will be laughter and probably a little chaos. You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you, while leaving plenty of room for the moments that happen naturally.

Your Private Reveal and Ordering Appointment

At your private reveal and ordering appointment, you’ll see your portraits for the first time in a cinematic viewing. Then we’ll choose the images you love and design artwork to suit your home. That might be one statement portrait, a wall collection, or an album full of the real moments in between.

Because we choose and order your artwork together on the day, please bring your partner to this appointment. Choosing is so much easier when you’re both in the room, seeing your portraits on the big screen together, and nobody has to go home and try to describe them.

The appointment is set up for the two of you, so it stays relaxed and focused. If one of you can’t make it, just let me know and we’ll move it to a time that suits you both.

These photographs aren’t meant to sit forgotten on a phone or hard drive. They’re meant to hang on your walls and become part of how you remember this season of your family.

04

Collecting Your Artwork

Once you’ve chosen your portraits and paid your artwork deposit, I’ll take care of the rest.

Over the next 4 to 6 weeks, your portraits will be professionally printed and carefully finished, ready for you to enjoy at home.

I’ll let you know when your artwork is ready to collect.

“Our experience may resonate with those who have thought of a family portrait and hesitated… I am camera shy… I did not feel embarrassed in front of the camera, Nicola found she had two best profiles (!) and the children were truly themselves… Patient advice founded in experience was most helpful in narrowing our selection… the journey felt relaxed and natural.”
