More Than Just a Photo - It’s Your Story

Kristie and her husband were visiting Sydney for the first time and wanted to capture the magic of their trip. We met at sunrise for an Opera House photoshoot beside the harbour, with the city slowly coming to life around them.

Their laughter and quiet moments together reflected the joy of new adventures and the deep bond they share – a beautiful way to remember their time in Sydney.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a session?: Booking is easy! Simply contact us through our website, email, or phone to discuss availability and details. A $300 Session Fee is required to secure your date.
Can we do two different locations?: Yes absolutely. Most sessions include portraits with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Add on sessions are available for $175 and can be held at a different time or within a few days. Perfect for those people wanting both:

Sydney Opera House + Bondi Beach Session

Surprise Proposal + Engagement Session

Family Sessions + Senior Session

Graduation + Family Session
Do you offer prints or just digital images?: We offer both! Digital files are very popular but we highly recommend investing in prints, wall art, or a beautiful album to truly bring your images to life.

While sharing photos online is wonderful, our goal is for you to enjoy your Sydney portraits every single day – displayed in your home, not just stored on a screen.
How long does a photoshoot take?: Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Sydney Portrait sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. Add an additional hour on to your shoot for $175.

More extensive sessions, like Personal Branding Sessions can take several hours.
What should we wear?: Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colours, minimal patterns, and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best for group photos.

Don’t worry - I’ll send you a 'What to Wear Guide' with tips on outfits that will look great in photos and feel true to your style. We’ll make sure you look and feel your best!
What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, where possible we can reschedule for another time or day. We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.
When will I receive my photos?: Within a week you will see a sneak peak from your photo session and the full gallery is usually shared within 2 weeks. Rush processing is available upon request.
