SOME COMMON FAQ

What types of photography services do you offer?

Currently I only offer mini couple sessions, and 1-hr photography package that is ideal for engagement, couples or maternity. I don't take personal portraits at the moment.

How do I book a photography session with you?
Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to us through our website, email, or phone, and let us know the type of session you're interested in. We'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?

Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing your unique love story. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I will capture your story in a place that holds meaning to you. (Melbourne only)

How long does a typical photo session last?


How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

You can expect to receive all unedited photos within 1-3 days after your session. Thereafter, you will have the time to choose your favourite photos for post production.


Once I have received your selection, I will then proceed to edit your photos. You can expect to receive all of your selected hi-res photos within 1 month of your selection.

What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and we're flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
How many pictures will we receive?

As a minimum, you will receive 10 images through the Mini Session package. There will be options to upgrade, allowing you to download additional images or the entire gallery.

What should we wear?

I always recommend that my couples wear something comfortable—an outfit that truly feels like you. You might also consider wearing something meaningful, like what you wore to your first date!


Once you’ve booked, I’ll send you a style guide with more details to help you prepare, so you arrive at your session feeling confident and at ease.

I don't feel confident in front of the camera, is that ok?

My goal is to ensure you feel completely at ease. I strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience where your authentic self can truly shine!


I’ll provide simple, easy-to-follow guidance, moving at a pace that feels natural for you. Throughout our session, I’ll offer encouragement and feedback to help you feel comfortable, confident, and at your best!

What should we expect during the session?

Fun! Lots of fun!


I know that being in front of the camera doesn’t always feel natural for everyone. That’s why during our session, I’ll use simple prompts to encourage genuine interactions and emotions. These aren’t about forcing poses but rather guiding you and your partner into movements and moments that feel authentic to you both.
