About Your Portrait Session
We encourage you to wear clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. For group portraits, we suggest coordinating outfits to create a cohesive look. For example, wearing similar styles, such as denim or complementary colors, can enhance the overall aesthetic, especially for outdoor locations. If children are involved, bringing along a favorite toy or sentimental item, like a hat or keepsake, can add a personal touch and help create meaningful memories.
After Your Portrait Session
Approximately 1–2 weeks after your portrait session, we will arrange a Purchasing Session at the studio. During this session, your images will be presented in a slideshow format, projected onto the wall for a clear and detailed view. This allows you to see expressions and envision how the images will look as finished wall prints. The session typically lasts 1–2 hours, and we welcome partners, parents, or grandparents to join. However, please note that it may be a bit lengthy for small children.
Processing and Delivery Times
We understand that some prints may be ordered for special occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas, or anniversaries. Please be aware that the average turnaround time for processing and delivery of prints is approximately 4–6 weeks from the order date. This timeframe may vary depending on factors such as:
The quantity and size of the prints ordered
Fine art post-production and retouching
Framing and album options
Payment and Framing Options
Payment for prints is required at the time of ordering. For your convenience, we accept cheques, major credit cards, and EFTPOS. We also offer a lay-by system for added flexibility.
Framing is optional, but we can arrange to have your portraits framed and ready to hang upon pickup. We offer an extensive selection of frames and mattes designed to complement both your images and your home décor beautifully.
Framing Turnaround
If framing is required, the completion time is approximately 7 weeks. While we strive to accommodate urgent requests, some aspects of the process are beyond our direct control. To avoid potential delays, we recommend allowing a 4–6 week timeframe for completion whenever possible.
We look forward to helping you create timeless portraits that you and your family will treasure for years to come.
