Booking is simple! When you’re ready to book, the link will take you to calendar where you can choose your session time for the spots available. Then you’ll be asked to fill in your details, sign some paperwork and pay a non-refundable retainer fee of $100. Shortly after that, you’ll receive a confirmation email and we’re all set!

The balance payment is due the week leading up to your session, but don’t worry if you forget, I’ll send you a friendly reminder just in case.

Mini sessions are for immediate family only - Parents and children. And sorry, no pets allowed in the studio.

You can go full Christmas festive vibe, or for a more timeless look, choose one or two earthy colours, then dress everyone in similar tones of the same colours mixed with neutral tones. Make it more interesting by adding different textures and layers, think chunky knits, and loose, flowy, natural fabrics like linen and cotton that will move with you. I love it most when you or one of your girls wears a pattern dress and everyone else matches to that dress. But most importantly, be yourselves so you feel comfortable and relaxed!

PRO TIP: Avoid wearing all black, fluorescent colours and clothing with distracting characters, logos or writing on them.

You’ll need to arrive at least 5 minutes before your session time, fully dressed and ready to be photographed. Each session will run for strictly 20 minutes. Multiple sessions are scheduled on the same day running one after another, so it's important that you arrive on time otherwise your session time may be cut short so that we don't impact the next family's session, or you may miss your spot altogether. Once we start, you can relax and leave the rest up to me. It’s going to be fun for everyone, I promise!

Shortly after your session I’ll share some sneak peaks on my socials (with your permission of course), and then I'll reach out again about a week or so later when your gallery is ready for viewing.

After swooning over your images, you’ll decide how many images you want to keep (see the ‘Buy only what you want’ FAQ for Collection details) and then your Proofing Gallery will open ready for your selection.

What is a Proofing Gallery?

The images you view in your Proofing Gallery are PROOFS only, which are smaller files with a very light edit. Your images still need to be individually edited and any necessary ‘healing’ (aka ‘photoshopping’) done before they become PRINTABLE FILES (which is what you’ve paid for).

After you’ve selected the images you want to keep, I'll sprinkle them with my magic and turn them into timeless images you'll love! In around 1-2 weeks, I’ll send you an email letting you know your final images are ready for downloading!

If this all sounds too complicated, don’t worry, I’ve prepared step by step instructions to walk you through the process!

After viewing your gallery, you’ll have the option to upgrade the value of your package to include more digital images (and score bonus store credit to use at my online store). But if you want to stick with what you’ve already paid for, you can do that too! There’s no obligation. You decide what fits your budget best!

The Base Package (what you pay for upfront) includes 5 images, then:

Upgrade A for $200: includes an extra 5 images and a $100 bonus store credit.

Upgrade B for $400: includes ALL your images and a $250 bonus store credit.

You can pop back into your booking any time in the lead up to the session day and change your session time (subject to availability) or cancel your session. The retainer is non-refundable, but provided you cancel at least 24 hours before your session, any other payments you’ve made will be refunded to you.

I’m anticipating this year’s Christmas Minis will sell out fast, so be sure to choose a time that works for your family as there might not be any availability if you change your mind later on.
