Portrait Photography
Real people. Like you.
Colac & Otway Ranges
There’s a version of yourself you rarely see in photographs.
Not the one that shows up for work photos or when someone thrusts a phone in your face.
The real one - the one that exists in ordinary moments.
The one your friends know and love. A bit chaotic, deeply familiar, entirely you.
The posed smiles are fine. But…
…they don’t show the way your youngest tilts their head when they’re thinking. Or the way your partner leans in without thinking. Or the in-joke that sets everyone off..
These moments exist for everyone. My job is to find them.
How It Works
We have a chat. I get to know you, what you’ve got in mind for some pictures, then we’ll bust out the calendars. Simple.
I travel to you, with some lights, we have fun, make some pictures.
Whether it’s your home, somewhere that holds meaning for your family, or a location we discover together - I bring the studio setup to you. No awkward posing against a generic backdrop. Just your people, your space, and light that does them justice.
Together we’ll create a relaxed confident space - no fuss. Many giggles.
Most people are surprised by how quickly they forget about the camera. That’s exactly when the good stuff happens.
What You Get
Within two weeks of your session I’ll invite you to a private viewing appointment, via zoom, where your portraits are revealed for the first time. You’ll choose the pieces that feel most true, I’m here to help with my guidance on sizing, framing and placement.
Your finished portraits arrive ready to hang. Fine art paper prints or canvas, framed in sustainably sourced solid Australian timber. Nothing to assemble. Nothing to figure out. Just art that means something, in the home where it belongs.
A portrait only truly lives when it’s on a wall - seen every day, not archived on a hard drive.
What’s Included?
Starting from $590
Includes a pre-session conversation, the session itself, digital low-res images for sharing, and an 8×10” framed fine art print of your choice.
Additional wall art pieces available at your viewing appointment - framed fine art paper prints and canvas in a range of sizes.
