Investment
Photographs have a funny way of becoming more valuable with time.
I believe that documenting the people you love is one of the few things you can invest in today that will mean more to you in twenty years than it does right now. Not because the images are perfect, but because life keeps moving , and one day you'll want to find your way back to exactly this.
Long after this season has passed, you'll return to these photographs and remember.
The way your baby felt heavy and warm in your arms. The sound of your children's laughter on an ordinary afternoon. The way your family looked, right now, in this chapter of your life.
Those are the moments worth capturing.
During our time together I'll follow your lead, slow down with you, and focus on the moments that are uniquely yours, the tender ones, the chaotic ones, and all the beautifully ordinary ones in between.
The following collections are available for family, newborn, motherhood, and couples sessions.
Short & Sweet

FAQ
Is a deposit required?
A non-refundable retainer of $100 is required to secure your session date, with the remaining balance due 5 days prior to your session.
When is the best time of day for my session?
Sessions can take place at any time of day, however the most beautiful light is often found in the hours after sunrise or before sunset. If you've chosen a beach location, sessions will be scheduled at either sunrise or sunset to make the most of the soft, natural light.
How far in advance do I need to book?
I take on a limited number of clients each month and am typically booked out 4-6 weeks in advance. For this reason, it is advisable to book ahead of time to avoid missing out on your chosen date, particularly if you're hoping for a weekend session.
Can I bring my dog along?
Absolutely, I love when pets are part of a session.
Dogs are always welcome, as long as they’re comfortable in new environments and you’re able to keep them safely supervised throughout the session. Please bring a leash or harness, and anything else that helps them feel relaxed, like treats or their favourite toy.
They’re part of your family too, and I love including them in your story.
Do you offer payment plans?
Flexible, interest-free payment plans are available across all collections. If this would make things easier for your family, simply let me know when booking.
I don't want my child's face on social media, is that okay?
Absolutely.
I understand that every family has different comfort levels when it comes to sharing photographs online, and I take your preferences seriously.
If you're happy for me to share your images, I'm incredibly grateful. However, if you'd prefer your photographs not be shared at all, or only faceless images be used, that's completely okay too.
Your privacy will always be respected, and the decision is entirely yours.
What location will my session be held at?
Your session location plays a big part in the feel of your photographs. Whether you're dreaming of rolling hills, the coastline, open fields, the comfort of your own home, or a cosy Airbnb getaway, I'll help you choose a location that feels like you. A guide to my favourite Illawarra locations will be provided after booking. Travel fees may apply for locations more than 30km from Wollongong CBD.
When should I book my Maternity session?
I recommend booking your maternity session anywhere from 30-36 weeks.
What if the weather is bad?
If it is overcast, we can still shoot, we may just alter the time to get the best lighting, but if it is raining I will provide a few rain-out dates for you to choose from. If it's crazy hot/humid/windy we can also reschedule.
What if one of us is sick on the day?
If you or a member of your family is unwell, we'll simply reschedule your session to another date. The same applies if I'm feeling under the weather.
I'd much rather wait until everyone is feeling their best than risk spreading germs or adding extra stress to your session. Your health, my family's health, and creating a relaxed experience are always the priority.
What happens if my kids won't sit still?
To be honest, that's very normal, and it's often where the magic happens.
My sessions are relaxed and child-led, which means I don't expect little ones to sit perfectly still or smile at the camera for an hour. In fact, some of my favourite images come from the running, exploring, cuddling, laughing, and everything in between.
I'll gently guide your family with games, prompts, and activities to help everyone feel comfortable, but there's no pressure for your children to perform. My focus is on capturing your family as you are, not creating perfection.
I'm not sure what to wear!
You're not alone. Choosing outfits is one of the most common stresses leading up to a session!
When you book with me, you'll receive my What to Wear Guide, packed with tips and inspiration to help make the process feel easy and enjoyable. And if you're still unsure, I'm always happy to help with outfit choices.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing. When you feel good, it shows.
I also highly recommend Mama Rentals for beautiful dress rentals for mums (with or without a bump) and little girls. Reverie clients receive 15% off their rental.
Do you offer prints, albums or wall art?
Professional prints, heirloom albums, and wall art are coming soon!
Do you travel for sessions?
I do travel! And I love to do it! My standard packages include up to 30km travel from Wollongong, NSW. I do travel state-wide and also interstate! If you have any questions in regards to my travel fees, contact me!
