FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes! I'm based in the Lepperton area, with most of my work taking place around New Plymouth, Inglewood and Waitara. Travel within these areas is already factored into my session pricing, so there are no additional fees locally.
I'm more than happy to travel throughout the wider Taranaki region. With rising fuel and vehicle costs, I've introduced a travel fee for locations outside of my area. This is based on distance and helps cover fuel, time on the road and general vehicle expenses, in line with Inland Revenue (IRD) kilometer rate guidelines.
To keep things fair and simple, I only charge travel one way - to your session location. Choosing a location within New Plymouth, Waitara or Inglewood areas is the most cost-effective option, but I'm always happy to travel if you have somewhere special in mind.
No matter the session type, I aim to make the experience as easy and convenient as possible for you.

What should we wear for our session?
Choosing the right clothing can make your photos look cohesive and timeless, but it doesn't need to be complicated.
For family or maternity sessions, neutral or co-ordinating colours often work best, while avoiding large logos or busy patterns that can be distracting. Soft, natural fabrics like cotton, linen or knits tend to photograph beautifully outdoors or on the beach.
For newborn sessions, simple comfortable outfits or wraps in soft tones are ideal, and for lifestyle or event sessions choose what makes you feel confident and comfortable.
For business or commercial sessions wear professional, polished attire that reflects your brand or role. Staff uniforms should be clean and tidy - if your team wears high-visibility gear or work-specific clothing that is fine. If necessary minor edits such as removing logos, holes or imperfections can be done in photoshop - but please note this is limited across a range of staff.
Ultimately, the most important thing is you feel like yourself - relaxed, comfortable and ready to enjoy the moment.
How long does it take to get our photos?
After your session, your photos will be carefully edited and delivered digitally within 1-3 weeks. Sneak peaks may be available!
Delivery times can vary depending on the session and editing requirements and sometimes photos may be ready even faster.
Please note that any additional editing requests can take up to an extra two weeks.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! I offer albums, prints and USB drives. I can also help organise items like puzzles, playing cards, mugs and more - these will soon be launching.
Pricing is based on current online rates, making it easy to preserve your memories in a tangible, personalised way.
