On a personal note, I recently became an aunty again! My beautiful sister Lisa gave birth recently to her 5th child, a little boy named Maddox. It was my pleasure to be able to capture Maddox’s newborn portraits.

It’s that time of year again! We’re opening up 1-2 days for mini sessions!

These are a great way to get images for Father’s day presents or to top up your portrait albums and walls with recent images.

The 2 dates available are:-

Sunday 15th August and Monday 20th September (this date is opened for those with school aged children or kinder children. It is the first monday of the school holidays, obviously this is after father’s day!)

(these book fast so get in quick!!)

$50 mini session fee includes a (5×7 in) print of your choice!!

WHAT DOES A MINI SESSION ENTAIL: you will get a ‘mini’ session with myself. A mini session lasts between 15-20 minutes. All sessions will be at the studio at 81 Poath Rd Murrumbeena 3163 (just down from Chadstone Shopping Centre), all will be a outdoor/location sessions (with one or two indoor shots also). All will involve a little walking (we’ll be doing a location shoot round the park, laneways and closest streets to the studio)

WHAT ARE THE COSTS INVOLVED: Mini sessions cost $50 per time slot. A week or two after the session you will be able to order your images. There are special packages for mini sessions available and all are at heavily discounted rates. Please

email me or phone for more details (03) 9568 1441 and a price list.

WHO CAN BE PHOTOGRAPHED DURING MINI SESSIONS: these mini sessions are available for children through adults from 5 MONTHS of age through to 99 YEARS or more. These mini sessions are not suitable for newborns or for maternity/pregnancy photography (unless it’s a pregnant mum ‘with’ her children). There are to be no more than 4 people included in each session and all must be of the same immediate family. If you have a larger family or would like more children photographed you are able to book 2 time slots one after the other at $50 per time slot.

WHY A MINI SESSION: mini sessions are great! They are perfect for past clients to do a ‘top up’ session and get some recent images of their children without the fuss of a full session. They are perfect for NEW clients to ‘try’ the service out and see if they’d like a full session at a later date. They are perfect for getting images of the children or yourself for FATHER’s DAY gifts. They are short and fast and fun.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SESSION: at the end of your session you will make an appointment to come back to view your images at the studio and make your selection. This will be approx 1-2 weeks after the session and both day and evening times will be available.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW: email me or phone to secure your session time. Session fees are payable upon booking. Forward this to your friends and family so they too can take advantage of this wonderful offer.

These sessions only happen a few times a year and will book out fast so

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful large family group a few weeks ago. They had decided it was time to capture a large family portrait and had asked me if I could capture it for them. I ofcourse said yes.

Photographs like these are real family heirlooms and will be treasured by many generations to come. I have a copy of my own family like this from many years ago, my grandmother organised a photographer and captured her children and her grandchildren all together, it still hangs proudly on her wall and on the wall of many other family members.

If you are interested in capturing your family for your own keepsake collection please call the studio on 95681441 or email us at studio@susandarcy.com.au

PS. large group photographs are available in colour also.
