How does the pricing work?+
Two stages. A small session fee (from $100) secures your date and covers the planning and shoot. At your in-studio viewing, you choose a Studio Collection (Essential $550, Signature $950 or Legacy $1,650). Add-ons are optional.
Are family photos included in maternity, cake smash and newborn sessions?+
Yes — every maternity, cake smash and newborn session includes family photos with partner and existing children at no extra cost.
What is the difference between high-res and social-res files?+
High-resolution digitals are the master files with unrestricted personal printing rights — print as large as life, they stay crisp forever. Social-resolution digitals are sized for screens and sharing (max 1000px on the longest edge) and finished with a subtle Faithful watermark in the corner — perfect for Instagram, Facebook and family group chats, but they cannot be printed without pixelating.
Are there any hidden costs?+
No. The only mandatory spend is the session fee. Everything else — Collections, add-ons, prints, framed art — is your choice at the in-studio viewing, all clearly priced.
What if we need a weekend or sunset shoot?+
Premium hours (weekends, public holidays and after 4:30pm) and outdoor location shoots are a $50 upgrade. Additional guests beyond immediate family are welcome at $50 per person.
Do you offer in-studio hair & makeup?+
Yes — makeup $120 and hair styling from $85 (includes straightening or GHD curls). Most clients book both to get themselves completely camera-ready.
How long until the viewing session?+
Viewing sessions are typically held within two weeks from the shoot. This is where we walk through the images and you choose your Collection.
Can I pay for my Collection in instalments?+
Yes — for Signature and Legacy Collections we offer a deposit-and-instalment plan, discussed at your viewing.
How many images will we receive?+
Newborn, family, maternity and cake smash sessions deliver a minimum of 35 edited images — the final number is often higher and varies with each session. You see them all at your in-studio viewing within two weeks of the shoot. Corporate galleries are scoped to the brief.
