I’m now opening bookings for our Christmas Mini Session days.

The 2 dates available are:-

Sunday October 25th and Sunday November 8th.
(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 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 (and you will get an extra 5×7 print).

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 CHRISTMAS 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 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 are the LAST mini sessions for 2009 and will book out fast so
email me or phone (03) 9568 1441 NOW to secure your place!

(Please note all packages will include 1 digital file for you to print to make into your own Christmas cards!)

I photographed Jack around 18 months ago and now he has turned 2 mum wanted some updated portraits. Jack was so happy at his first session, a really easy going sweet litle boy. He’s stayed that way too, sweet, active and still easy going and happy. I met him and his mum at one of my favourite locations to shoot.

Jack 18 months ago:

and now at 2 years and with ahead full of the best curls!

This location is a wonderful spot, especially if you are looking for that nice large piece of artwork for your walls.
