Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time for a photoshoot?: Sunrise is the best time for ashoot beside Sydney harbour - Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The soft, golden light creates a beautiful atmosphere, and there are fewer crowds, allowing for stunning, peaceful photos.

An hour before sunset is the best time for Sydney beach sessions when the light is soft and dreamy.
What should I wear for my photoshoot?: Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colours, minimal patterns, and coordinating (but not matching) outfits work best for group photos.

I’ll provide a What To Wear Guide with tips to help you look and feel your best for your Sydney Photo Session.
How long does a photoshoot take?: Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Sessions typically last 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the locations. I’ll ensure the session is relaxed and enjoyable. Portrait sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, while more extensive sessions, like Branding Portraits can take several hours.
Can we include multiple locations?: Yes! We can explore multiple locations like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge or Bondi Beach. Add-on sessions are available if you'd like to explore more options for your photoshoot.
Do you offer prints or just digital images?: We offer both! You can choose high-resolution digital files, professional prints, albums, and wall art to showcase your memories beautifully. We recommend getting Wall Art and Albums so you can enjoy your photos daily. Our prints ship from international labs including those in the USA.
How do we get the photos?: You’ll receive digital files via a secure link in both high and low resolution. Prints, Wall Art and Albums will be shipped directly to you and may take 4-6 weeks to deliver.
What happens if the weather is bad for an outdoor session?: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule for another day (if possible). We’ll stay in touch and make the best decision together.
