Newborns
For our Ultimate style and Mini Maternity sessions, we supply all props, however if you have something special please feel free to bring it along. For our Timeless style, we do not use props apart from a simple white seat for baby sessions.
For babies under 4 months old, we still recommend booking a newborn session as it allows that extra time to capture sleepy poses if they fall asleep as well as time for feeding and comforting.
The ideal time is at least a few weeks before giving birth, to ensure we keep time reserved for you near your due date. After your newborn arrives, we can schedule the actual time of the shoot. If you book in advance, we guarantee that we'll have time available for you, no matter if your baby arrives early or late.
For our Ultimate style, you can choose up to 8 different styles/designs to be photographed for premium sessions, 5-6 for mini sessions, or up to 12 different styles for deluxe sessions. These style/designs are found in our portfolio on our website. If you don't like choosing from so many options, we'll shoot a variety of different styles found in our portfolio for you. Our Timeless style photographs on white backgrounds only.
Most newborns don't have great skin. We retouch the photos to remove any minor temporary blotchiness/flakiness or blemishes, jaundice, to ensure nice even skin tones. The sooner you have the newborn shoot, the easier it will be to capture some great peaceful poses. If you are unsure whether you'd like to wait until it clears or not, you can send us a photo for advice.
We only offer Mini and Premium sessions for our Timeless style.
Maternity
For our Mini Maternity sessions, we have a wide variety of dresses/sashes that you’re welcome to wear, but you're also welcome to bring outfits that you'd like to be photographed in. You can view our range of dresses here. For our Simply Bump sessions, we do not provide dresses. We do not offer a service for hair/makeup.
Our Simply Bump session is for you only - if you would like to include partners/family you'd need to book a Mini Maternity session instead.
Baby
We do not provide outfits and recommend you bring 1 or 2 outfits that you would like your baby to be photographed in.
Our Timeless sessions are only photographed on white backgrounds.
Unfortunately we don't photograph anything relating to food.
Images
At most it will be the next day, almost always it will be later in the evening on the same day.
Yes you choose 15 images for premium sessions, 10 images for mini sessions, or 20 images for deluxe sessions. You can expect to choose from a gallery of 18-22 images for premium sessions, 12-15 images for mini sessions, and 25-30 images for deluxe sessions. Any extras can be purchased as an additional set of photos as well.
We do offer a combined mini maternity and newborn session where you can include a handful of photos from your mini maternity session along with your newborn photos in one combined set of 20 photos. If you’d prefer more than a handful of maternity photos, we recommend booking separate sessions which would require 2 separate purchases afterwards.
The mini Digital Images option is only available for purchase for mini sessions.
Only the deluxe Digital Images option is available for purchase for deluxe sessions.
You'd need to book an Ultimate session and we can then include some Timeless styled images into it. We can't include Ultimate styled images into a Timeless styled session.
No, only the session fee is payable at time of booking to secure your session. After you've seen the photos, you can decide on which images to purchase. The session fee covers the time of the session and is separate to the Digital Images price.
You can choose 15 images for premium sessions, 10 images for mini sessions, or 20 images for deluxe sessions, as a digital download, in high resolution without watermarks, and are suitable for large prints. We also include a custom phone app containing a gallery of your images. For newborn sessions, we also include a cute little announcement video. You can also purchase any extras as an additional set of photos.
No, not at all for any images that you purchase. We do add a watermark if we post them online (only with your permission).
We supply them as a digital download. There are many benefits of a digital download over a USB drive, such as instant download and not having to wait for a USB drive in the mail, and therefore increased security. The exact same contents of a USB drive are simply available as a download instead, approximately 250 MB in size.
No, you can view your images and decide if you'd like to purchase any digital images.
We only produce and sell a full set of photos. It isn't very practical and time efficient for only capturing a few photos, resulting in a high cost per photo, therefore we don't offer this as a service.
Yes you can purchase the entire set of images for an additional fee. We also offer a behind-the-scenes set of photos that are unedited and provide an extra special point of view of your photo shoot, as an add-on purchase to your digital images purchase.
Depending on the photo, you can generally print up to 24x36" in size.
We produce our imagery in standard print sizes, with each image having the best aspect ratio for the photo captured. The aspect ratios are 4x6 Full Frame, 4x5 Cropped, or 5x5 Square, and can be viewed in our portfolio. They can be printed to non standard sizes, however we don't recommend that as you would lose part of the image. Our advice is to choose a frame size to match the image size, rather than to crop the image to fit a frame of a different size.
Yes we can recommend premium print stores that can provide quality prints.
No, not without your explicit permission.
Jpeg format. We don't supply images in raw format.
No, we show all backgrounds on our website that we photograph.
General
For our Simply Bump maternity sessions, you will need to bring 1 outfit to be photographed in. For baby sessions, please bring 1-2 outfits for your baby to be photographed in. For all other sessions, you don't need to bring anything, however for our Ultimate styles or Mini Maternity sessions, if you have something special you'd like to be photographed, please feel free to bring it along.
After you book your session, we’ll send extra information with tips on how to prepare for it, including clothing recommendations, as well as our address.
All of our sessions except Simply Bump Maternity include family/sibling photos. We always encourage them but it is your choice whether to capture them as well. We can accommodate up to 6 people in total in our studio, including your immediate family, for the duration of your session. People can't be swapped in to meet this limit.
It depends on what you’d like – each session is different. Some people have all newborn/baby photos, some with the majority as family photos, but often about 1/3 are family photos. All of our sessions except Simply Bump Maternity include family/sibling photos.
Our mini and premium sessions are ideal for when you’d prefer to capture less photos and have a shorter session duration, and also cost less as a result. If you'd like family photos, we recommend the premium or deluxe sessions.
Unfortunately we don't photograph anything relating to food.
Unfortunately we can't accommodate family pets in our sessions.
Yes, they can come along and can be included in a photo or two in all of our sessions except our Simply Bump Maternity sessions. Our studio allows for up to 6 people in total, including your immediate family, for the duration of your session. People can't be swapped in to meet this limit.
No we only photograph in our commercial and professional home based studios.
No we only photograph the style of photos as seen on our website.
We only photograph in our studios - from a practicality standpoint it would cost a lot more to photograph in your home and have a lot less flexibility with prop choices and lighting. You receive a better end result from the photography being in a dedicated studio.
We are located in Osborne Park, 10-15 minutes north of Perth city, as well as in Hilbert, 35 minutes south east of Perth city. It is the same people and studio experience in both locations – so you can choose whichever location is more convenient to you.
No, your pricing remains the same as at the time that you booked. If we lower prices, then you'll be able to benefit from purchasing at the lower prices as well.
We unfortunately can’t accommodate large groups of extended family. The most we can accommodate is 6 people including your immediate family, for the duration of your session. For example, grandparents can attend as long as this limit isn't exceeded. People can't be swapped in to meet this limit.
Yes, there are a fair number of shoots where the partner could not make it, or are single, or just prefer the shoot being with themselves as the star.
No, unfortunately we don't offer a service to photograph twins in our newborn/baby sessions. It is best to find a photographer that specialises in twins.
We accept Visa/Mastercard for booking our sessions, and for our online galleries we accept Visa/Mastercard, Bank Transfer, Paypal and Afterpay.
We do not offer payment plans beyond those offered by Afterpay.
Yes we do have entries that are wheelchair accessible. In our Osborne Park location, once you arrive please give us a call and we'll advise how to enter without using the stairs :)
