Session Details
All sessions are guided to ensure that you feel comfortable and able to express your true self. My goal is to empower you through the process. I always encourage clients to bring personal items that hold significance, such as pounamu, jewellery, items of clothing, or korowai, to make the experience even more meaningful.
A What to Wear Guide will be available in your client portal upon booking to provide some useful guidance in helping you select an outfit that feels right for you!
Weather
In the event that we need to reschedule due to weather conditions, I will work with you to find a mutually agreeable date that suits both of our schedules. I will always strive to provide as much notice as possible if the weather is expected to be unsuitable for our session.
Session Duration
The duration of your session is listed under each package but is a guide only. Please allow flexibility depending on the nature of your session and location.
Hair & Makeup
Hair and makeup services can be recommended upon request, so don’t hesitate to ask! I know so wonderful MUA'S who would love to glam you if you feel called to this service.
Image Selection and Delivery
Every session I offer comes with a complete gallery of retouched images. After your shoot, I’ll thoughtfully curate and handpick the best shots from our time together. The selection process is based on my professional and artistic judgment, ensuring only the highest quality images are chosen. I want you to receive the best, so every photo is carefully reviewed. You’ll receive at least 30 retouched images, and the final images will be delivered within three weeks of your shoot date through an online gallery, making it easy to share and download.
Your completed gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks of your selection date.
