1. How far in advance should I book a family photography session?

To secure your preferred date, we recommend booking your Sydney family photography session 4–6 weeks in advance. Many Sydney families also book 6–12 months ahead, especially for maternity or seasonal shoots. If you need a last-minute booking, please contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

2. What types of family photography services do you offer in Sydney?

We specialise in natural, heartfelt family photography throughout Sydney, including maternity, newborn, and multi-generational family sessions. Our aim is to capture your unique family story in authentic moments.

3. Where do you conduct family photo sessions around Sydney?

We love shooting on location across Sydney—whether that’s at your home, a local park, a beach, or a picturesque Sydney landmark. If you’d like suggestions, we’re happy to recommend beautiful spots that suit your style.

4. What should families wear for their photo shoot?

We advise families to choose neutral colours and soft tones that complement the natural environment. Coordinated outfits that aren’t overly matched create timeless photos. Avoid busy patterns or logos. After booking, we’ll provide a detailed styling guide tailored for your family.

5. How long does a typical family or newborn session last?

Family and maternity sessions usually last 60–90 minutes. Newborn sessions can take 2–3 hours to allow for feeding, soothing, and capturing those precious moments.

6. What if my children are shy or uncooperative during the family shoot?

No problem! We’re experienced with children of all ages across Sydney and create a relaxed, fun atmosphere so everyone feels comfortable. We work at your child’s pace with plenty of breaks if needed.

7. When is the best time to book a newborn photography session?

Newborn sessions are ideally booked within the first 2 weeks after birth for classic curled-up poses. For lifestyle newborn shoots—with parents holding their babies naturally—we recommend booking between 2 weeks and 4 months of age. These sessions can be done comfortably at your home or your favourite Sydney location.

8. What is included in a family photography session fee?

Your session fee covers personalised planning (including outfit and posing advice tailored to your Sydney family), the photo session, professional editing, and a private online gallery. Some packages also include a set number of retouched photographs. Images are delivered in both high-resolution and web-resolution formats, with print options available.

9. What is the difference between professional editing and retouching?

Professional editing involves colour and tone correction, cropping, and enhancing your photos to look their best. Retouching takes this further by smoothing skin, cleaning backgrounds, and can gently enhance physical features to make you look your best—all done tastefully to keep your images natural and true to your family.

10. How long after the session will families receive their photos?

You’ll receive your online gallery within 3–4 weeks of your session. If your package includes retouched photos, you’ll select your favourites to be retouched, with the final images delivered within another 3–4 weeks.

11. Do you offer albums and prints for family photo sessions?

Yes! We offer premium photo albums, prints, and framed prints that can be ordered directly from your online gallery.

12. Do you sell gift certificates for Sydney family photography?

Absolutely! Our Sydney gift certificates have an open date and are valid for 3 years—making them the perfect gift for family and friends.

13. What payment methods do you accept for family photography bookings?

We accept bank transfer, PayPal, and cash. A deposit is required to secure your session, with the remaining balance due before the shoot.

14. What if we need to reschedule our family photo session due to weather or illness?

We understand that life happens! We’re flexible with rescheduling due to weather, illness, or other unforeseen events to ensure you get the best experience possible.

15. Can we speak to someone before booking our family photography session?

Yes! We’re happy to arrange a call or Zoom meeting to answer any questions you have before booking your family photography session. Your comfort and confidence matter to us.
