Your session includes:
There are several magical locations around the Sutherland Shire to choose from which we can discuss upon booking your session.
You sure can! I can accommodate groups of up to 5 people per session except for the fairy session which has a maximum of 3 people.
A retainer fee of $200 is required to secure your date on my calendar. The remaining balance will be due 24 hours before the shoot. This retainer fee is non-refundable if you choose to cancel your shoot, but it can be put towards another Storybook Session if you would like to reschedule.
It’s normal for younger children to sometimes feel shy or anxious in front of the camera. I make sure to take the time to get to know your child so that they feel more comfortable.
These sessions are play-based which means that rather than smile and pose for endless photos, I let them run around and be themselves. This helps to warm them up to both the camera and the photographer, and produces more natural smiles. I have worked with hundreds of kids over the years and I have found that sometimes it is the candid shots that end up being the most magical!
This depends on the type of session you book. These are the ages that I have found work best:
Mermaids: Because the tail restricts the lack of movement in the legs, this can be frustrating for little ones under the age of 3. For children under 3 I recommend using my toddler tail which lets them have their feet sticking out at the bottom of the fin, allowing them to still be able to walk.
Pirates: As long as your little one can sit up, they are ready to be a pirate!
Princesses: I have gorgeous dresses designed to fit ages 1 - 15 years old.
Fairies: 4 years old and up generally works best with this type of session. The wings are a bit weighty and younger children may find them uncomfortable to wear for a long period of time.
Yes! I have a few different costumes in most sizes so they are usually able to pick which one they would like to wear for their Storybook Session.
Just yourself. I will provide the costume and all the accessories needed to make your shoot magical!
If you would like to have you or your child’s hair and makeup done, please do so before the session begins.
