Questions

Good to know.

All FAQs

What if my kids will not sit still?

They rarely do, and that is fine. Sessions are paced around them, and some of the best frames happen in between.

What should we wear?

Coordinated, not matching. Two or three colours that work together, with texture and no large logos. You receive a short guide before the session.

Studio or outdoors?

Both work beautifully. The studio is calm and weatherproof; outdoors gives you North Shore light and space. We choose together.

Can we order prints?

Yes. Any session can become signed, framed prints, sized for the room they will live in.
