Sessions run for about an hour, giving your family plenty of time to settle in and relax. There's no rushing and no clock watching. Your kids can warm up at their own pace and your dog can sniff around and get comfortable before we get started.

You'll find my studio at 768 Pacific Highway, Gordon on Sydney's North Shore. There are three council car parks within a short walk and the studio is less than a five minute walk from Gordon train station. I'll send you full parking details when you book.

What sets me apart is that your dog is genuinely part of the portrait, not an afterthought. My Gordon studio is fully contained so your dog can be off the lead and relaxed from the moment they arrive. I'm a dachshund mum myself so I know how to work with dogs and help them settle.

I've been photographing families for over 23 years and have worked with more than 2,500 families. There's no stiff posing or forced smiles. I photograph your family as you actually are, which is why so many of my families come back year after year.

Your session fee of $200 secures your booking and covers your pre-session consultation, your one hour studio session and your personal viewing and ordering appointment. Print prices start at $145 with no minimum spend. Most families invest between $500 and $3,000 in their finished portraits.

At your ordering appointment I'll help you choose the right sizes and finishes to suit your home. No pressure, no rush. Payment plans are available from $300 per month at no extra cost.

Yes. Digital files are available on their own or as an addition to your wall art order. Most of my families choose to invest in wall art and add digital files as extras. And if you purchase a piece of wall art, I'll include the digital file of that photo as a bonus.

At your ordering appointment I'll sit with you and help you work out exactly what suits your home. Whether it's a statement piece for the hallway or a collection of frames for the living room, I'll guide you on sizes, finishes and layouts so you end up with something you love on your walls.

All my framing is custom done for each client by a professional framer who collects and delivers weekly. Your portraits arrive ready to hang. You don't need to organise anything yourself.

I photograph families, newborns, maternity and pets at my studio in Gordon on Sydney's North Shore. I offer modern family portraits on my studio bed and couch setup, classic portraits on a dark background, outdoor family sessions at my bush location in Pymble and maternity and newborn sessions. Dogs are welcome at every session.
