Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL
What's the best way to contact you?
Where are you based?
I like to receive all enquiries via email, whatsapp, facebook messenger or instagram dm's.
I am based in Young, NSW, Australia but travel anywhere! Any services in the Hilltops Region do not incur a travel fee, however if you are outside of this region a travel and accomodation fee may be applicable.
How do I book you?
A deposit must be paid to book me. The deposit amount is dependant on the service/package you are wanting to proceed with. Payment of the deposit officially locks in your booking and secures me to provide you with the service you have requested.
Can I book multiple services for my wedding?
Absolutely, pending availability. The only services that cannot be paired together for weddings is videography and photography although I hope to be able to offer these together in the future!
PHOTOGRAPHY
Where do you hold your photography sessions?
I am a huge outdoor person and often choose public locations with beautiful backdrops or I come to your home or any private property you have legal access to. ​
How does a session in my home work?
Typically, I have two types of at home sessions. The first are for those that have an outdoor setting or paddocks/land of their own.
The second type are newborn shoots. This is usually completed inside your home. I don’t bring any props for newborn shoots. I like to focus on capturing what is naturally happening while I'm there. I believe this truly shows 'you' - your lives, your home, your baby.
What should I wear?
It doesn't really matter what you wear in the end, just choose something you will be happy and comfortable in. If I had to give clothing suggestions, I recommend somehow co-ordinating your outfits with everyone attending the shoot. I often have families all wear neutral colours or tones and it always looks amazing but honestly, just wear whatever will make you feel most comfortable while the camera is pointed at you.
VIDEOGRAPHY
Can you use my favourite song for the video?
I can only use music that is copyright free or that I have a licence to use. Don't worry though, I have access to a huge selection of music with all different genres that will ensure your video is in alignment with your vision.
Do I look at the camera while you're recording?
It really depends on the situation, but the most likely case is no. Most of my video storytelling, especially with weddings is candid unless it's an interview style video.
If we are doing a newborn shoot or business shoot, I will generally direct you to get the shots we need but candid natural stuff is always the best and aligns with my style of story telling.
Why does video cost so much more than photos?
While photography and videography may look similar on the surface, and having done both, I can easily say videography is far more involved. Video captures movement, sound, emotion, and storytelling, not just a single moment. At a shoot, this requires constant camera movement, stabilisation, audio recording, and capturing a wide range of shots to ensure everything flows together.
​
After the shoot, videography involves hours of post-production work, including reviewing and cutting footage, colour grading, audio syncing and cleanup, music selection, and carefully editing everything into a polished, cohesive film. It’s a much more time-intensive process both during and after the shoot.
