I'll send through the exact meeting spot the week of your session.
None of these work?
Little ones in bed by 6?
Midweek sessions are available too, and I may be able to open an earlier slot, like 3pm. Just flick me an email with what suits you guys and I'll see what I can do.
How it works
Easy from start to finish
Pick your date and time. I'll email your invoice, and once it's paid you're locked in.
The week before, I'll send the meeting spot and a few tips on what to wear.
Twenty minutes on the sand. I'll guide you the whole way, no posing experience needed at all.

Who it's for
Booked in for your wedding with me? A mini is a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.
Good to know
Questions
Is 20 minutes really enough?
It is. Minis are short on purpose. Little ones stay happy, nobody has time to get stiff, and the light does a lot of the work.
Can we bring the dog, or the grandparents?
Absolutely, and dogs are always welcome. Sessions include up to 5 people. For 6 to 10 people it's an extra $150, and for more than 10 it's an extra $250. Just let me know when you book.
Can we come earlier, or on a weekday?
Yes, midweek sessions are available. If a 5pm start is too late for your kids, or Sunday doesn't work, send me an email and we'll find a time.
What should we wear?
Soft, neutral tones work best on the beach. Nothing too busy or branded. I'll send a short guide through the week before.
What if the weather turns?
If it's not looking good, I'll get in touch and move you to a new time, which might be a midweek evening. No worries at all.
Can I give a session as a gift?
Yes, I do vouchers. Send me an email and I'll sort one out for you.
