Getting ready.
What to wear
Think soft, neutral, and timeless.
Earthy tones, creams, and whites always photograph beautifully.
If you love a bit of colour, keep it muted rather than bold.
Choose outfits that work together without being ‘matchy-matchy’.
Instead, coordinate.
A good place to start is one outfit (often mum’s), then build around it.
Skip large logos and busy patterns.
And if you’re unsure… white is always a safe choice.
No shoes
To keep the studio clean and cosy, we’re a no-shoes space – for everyone (little ones included).
You’ll simply remove shoes at the door, so no need to plan outfits around them.
Arriving for your session.
Time slot
Please arrive on time so we can make the most of your session.
Mini Sessions run in short time slots (5 minutes each), so everything runs closely to schedule.
For example, if you’re booked for 10:00am, your session will begin at 10:00am and finish shortly after.
Please arrive ready to go – kids dressed, fed, and settled where possible.
When you arrive, wait on the deck and I’ll invite you in.
This helps everything run smoothly for everyone.
If you’re late, your session time may be reduced.
Studio location
109 Abraham Heights, Washington Valley, Nelson
There’s plenty of street parking available – please just avoid blocking the driveway.
The entrance is up the drive, along the deck steps on the left side of the garage.
Follow the signs, you can’t miss it.
After your session.
Receiving your photos
Your proofing gallery will be ready within a few days.
You’ll receive a link to view your images and choose your favourites.
From there, you’ll select your included image and have the option to purchase any additional images if you wish.
Please note – your images must be selected and any outstanding payments completed before the following weekend.
Once your selections are made, your final images will be edited and ready within two weeks.
You’ll receive a link to your private online gallery where you can view and download your photos – ready to keep, share, and enjoy.
The main thing.
Have fun!
These sessions are short, sweet, and exactly what you make them.
There’s no pressure for perfect smiles or perfectly still kids – the best moments are always the real ones.
You don’t even have to look at the camera if that’s not your thing.
Just come in, be together for a few minutes, and I’ll take care of the rest.
