• $100 Family Photo ShootI can take the photos in RAW or JPEG. Afternoon is the best time for a Photo Shoot because the light is softer and more golden then, morning light is the same but often too early. You can choose a location, preferably local to Singleton (NSW Australia). There are extra costs associated with travel to other locations (we can discuss at time of booking). I have done previous shoots at Allan Bull Reserve and also at Stomp Wines.
The actual shoot is often an hour long, during that time I take shots of the whole family, the kids together and individually, the parents. I take candid shots at candid times. I also do other combinations like each child with each parent or all children with one parent, individual portraits ect. Other family members can be included.
What you get
You will get a CD or you can provide a USB stick that I will put 25-35 final images with full printing rights on. I will use some photos for my portfolio and would like your permission to display some on my blogs. I would also like it if you could write a testimony to go on my "Testimonials" page.
EXTRA OFFER
For an extra $10 I will give you an 8x12 photo printed from Singleton Photocentre of my favourite photo from the photo shoot. (As well as the normal disc of 25-35 photos.) It will only be $10 for a limited time.
• $70 Baby Photo Shoot
I do not have an indoor studio so I take the photos outside in the evening light. Location can be arranged at time of booking. You will get a CD with 10-15 final edited images with full printing rights. I would also use some photos for my portfolio and would like your permission to display some on my blogs.
Here is a link to a six months baby shoot I did.
Clothing
The family photos will look better if there is some colour coordination, but not with everyone wearing the same thing. Choose a theme, about three colours or try all pick a similar shade but all different colours. Also don't wear clothing with words on it as words are distracting as people will look at the photo and naturally start reading them, instead of looking at the people.
Accessories are good; scarves, belts, hair accessories and jewelry all add texture to the photo.
I want you to look nice and with attention drawn to your face not anywhere else. So I encourage you to dress modestly, I offer the following guidelines on what I consider appropriate clothing….
Dresses
At least knee length
Sleeves or at least a wide shoulder strap (no spaghetti straps)
No really low necklines
Shirts
No bare midriff
SleevesNo really low necklines
Shorts
Longer than your arms reach when they are straight down at your sides.
Overall
Not skin tight.

Photo shoots I have done
Natural Light Photographer
I am a natural light photographer so all photo shoots are done outside in the natural light. Light during the middle of the day is coming from directly overhead and is harsh so not good for outdoor shoots, so I do the photo shoots anytime after mid-afternoon.
I use a Canon 600D camera with a really good portraiture lens (canon lens EF 85mm 1: 1.8)
