How It Works - Sarah Iris Photography
FROM YOUR SESSION TO PHOTOGRAPHS YOU'LL LOVE
From planning your session through to choosing your favourite photographs, I'll guide you through every step.
The experience doesn't end when we finish photographing. Once your images have been curated and edited, we'll meet for a private Ordering Session where you'll see your photographs for the first time, choose your favourites and decide how you'd like to enjoy them.
You don't need to decide everything before your session.
First, see your photographs. Then choose what you love.
A little planning goes a long way.
01 - PLAN YOUR SESSION
Everything starts with a little planning
Before your session, we'll talk through the details so everything feels easy and considered from the start.
I'll help you choose the right location and time, with guidance on what to wear and anything else you need to know before the day.
Whether you're visiting Sydney, celebrating your family, marking a special occasion or simply wanting beautiful photographs of this stage of life, I'll make sure we create a session that feels right for you.
And then, we take photographs
02 - ENJOY YOUR SESSION
Relax, have fun and let me take care of the photographs
You don't need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera.
I'll guide you throughout the session, giving you gentle direction when you need it while allowing plenty of space for natural moments to happen.
My aim is for the experience to feel relaxed and enjoyable, more like catching up with a friend than having your photograph taken.
And while you're enjoying the experience, I'll be looking for all those little moments, expressions and connections that make your photographs feel like you.

3 - SEE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Your private Ordering Session
Once your photographs have been carefully edited, we'll meet for your private Ordering Session. This is when you'll see your finished photographs for the first time.
We'll go through your images together in a beautiful slideshow, giving you the chance to see the full story of your session and choose the photographs you love most.
From there, we'll look at the collection options together and decide how you'd like to enjoy your favourite photographs, whether that's digitally, as beautiful fine art prints, in a Keepsake Album or as wall art.
There's no need to make those decisions before you've seen your photographs. You can simply enjoy your session, look forward to seeing your images, and then choose what feels right for you.
First, see your photographs. Then choose what you love.
Stefanie | Austin, Texas
“What a fantastic experience and album to mark our Sydney memories. Sarah was so easy to work with and so patient with our 6 and 3 year olds. The process to choose photos was efficient and easy to coordinate. Highly recommend. Worth every dollar.”

04 - CHOOSE WHAT YOU LOVE
Collections designed around your photographs
Once you've seen your images and selected your favourites, you'll be able to choose from a series of collections.
Collections include digital photographs, with selected collections also including beautiful fine art prints and options for displaying your favourite photographs as wall art.
For those wanting the complete experience, the top collection includes the Keepsake Album, together with your favourite fine art prints and digital photographs.
There is no need to know in advance which photographs you'll want on your walls or in your album.
We'll make those decisions once you've seen your images.
Memories worth enjoying every day.
05 - ENJOY YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
More than just digital files
Digital photographs are wonderful for sharing, but it's easy for them to disappear into your phone or computer.
Your photographs deserve to be seen.
A beautiful fine art print can be enjoyed every day. Your favourite photographs can also be printed and framed as wall art, giving you something you'll see every time you walk into the room.
And a Keepsake Album gives you a beautiful way to bring your favourite photographs together and relive the whole story of your session.
I believe photographs should have a life beyond the screen.
Not just files to download, but photographs you can hold, display, revisit and enjoy for years to come.
Choosing your Sydney location
Not sure which location or time will suit your session? I've put together a guide to some of my favourite Sydney photo session locations, including the best times to photograph them and what you can expect from each.
The Keepsake Album
A beautiful way to keep the story together
The Keepsake Album is the centrepiece of the top collection, bringing your favourite photographs together in one beautiful book.
Your favourite photographs come together in one beautiful book, making it easy to return to the story of your session again and again.
It's something you can pick up years from now and instantly return to this chapter of your family's story.
The people. The places. The little moments you might otherwise forget.
Alongside your album, the top collection includes your favourite fine art prints and digital photographs, giving you different ways to enjoy the images you love.
Some photographs deserve more than a place on your phone.
Fine Art Portraits
Bring your favourite photographs to life
There's something special about seeing a photograph in print.
The quality, texture and depth of a beautiful fine art print make it very different from an image viewed on a phone.
Your favourite photographs can be printed as beautiful fine art prints, or framed as wall art to enjoy every day in your home.
You don't have to decide what you'd like before your session. During your Ordering Session, we'll look at your photographs together and you can choose the images that have meaning for you.
Whether that's a single favourite photograph, a collection of prints or a beautifully framed piece for your home, the choice comes after you've seen the photographs.
George | Sydney
“Sarah was incredibly warm and made us feel comfortable and natural throughout our engagement shoot. She took beautiful photos that captured both us and the landscape, and they look stunning in our album. Highly recommend!”

Printed, framed & part of every day
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, YOUR WAY
Choose what feels right once you've seen them
Every family and every session is different.
Some clients love having their photographs digitally so they can share them easily with family and friends. Others want to bring their favourite images to life as fine art prints or wall art. And for those who want to preserve the whole story, the Premium Collection brings everything together with a beautiful Keepsake Album.
You don't need to know which option you'll choose before your session.
We'll look at your photographs together first, then choose the collection and products that give you the photographs you'll love having.
Ashleigh | Seattle
“Sarah made the session feel relaxed and fun, capturing lovely moments with my teenage sons at Coogee. We now enjoy looking at our Sydney Wall Art every day at home in Seattle – it’s such a great reminder of our vacation in Australia.”

Bring your favourite photographs into your everyday life.
A PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH
From our first conversation to the moment you receive your photographs, I'll guide you through the process.
My goal is simple: to create photographs you'll love now and still love looking at years from now.
Beautiful photographs deserve to be enjoyed every day, not just stored on your phone.
