FAQS

• SESSION LOCATION

Your session can be in your home or outdoors. I can provide a list of potential location options. For locations more than 70kms from Canberra there is a fee to cover travel costs.

• NUMBER OF PEOPLE AT A SESSION

My packages include up to 6 immediate family members. Extended family sessions are an additional $100 an hour and includes additional images.

• IMAGE DELIVERY

Your images will be delivered within 4 weeks of your photo session via an online gallery. That gallery can be shared with family and friends - so if your Mum wants her own copy of the images, send her the link and she'll be able to download them.

• SESSION DEPOSIT

A session fee of 50% is due to secure your chosen date. The remaining balance is due the week of your session. I offer payment plans also to help break up the cost of a session.

• BEST TIME OF DAY

Golden hour is the best time to photograph, in winter that means shooting at about 4:30pm and in summer we can push it back as far us 7pm. This may be tough for kids, but if you bring along snacks it usually does the trick! I promise it is totally worth it!

• FAQs + WHAT TO WEAR

Once you are booked in you will also receive emails in the lead up to your session along with advice and tips on what to wear. You're also welcome to reach out to me at any time if you have any questions or concerns.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Chris Mudford

Samara photographs our family at least once a year since 2017. We’ve got 5 kids now and Samara is fantastic with them. She recognizes their personality, knows how to make them comfortable and draw out the perfect shots. Natural, relaxed and loving sibling photos. Samara’s patience and good humour is a godsend! Our most recent shoot, our almost 2yo cracked it from after the first photo - Samara let her get comfortable and was ready when the shot came. She’s always got great ideas on location. Samara had captured treasured memories from birth through Christmas shots. An amazing photographer.

Anny Dailey

We have done two sessions and had a wonderful time. Professional, organised and so much fun. Definitely felt relaxed and got the most out of the session. The best part was just before each session we would get a reminder and tips and hints to prepare. Photos afterwards were available quickly with plenty of choice! Would definitely recommend!

Jocelyn Lindbeck

Samara photographed my son and I late last year and the photos are beautiful. She made the experience so much fun and managed to capture such special moments. I always recommend Samara to my friends and family.

Jeri Katanyasoot

We loved working with Samara, she was made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We got our first family photo taken with a newborn which was not an easy task but samara was so patient and understanding. the photos turned out even better than what I could of imagined. Overall was an amazing experience

Nic Samal

Super talented and amazing to work with. Not only does she make you feel relaxed and comfortable whilst taking photos, but she makes the event a fun memory too!!

Tessa Jensen

We had a family session with Samara and we were very impressed with the results despite our 12 month old not being happy chappy after his nap! Samara suggested a beautiful location at the Arboretum and it worked out well. Samara was friendly, relaxed and professional and her guidance and suggestions were welcomed. Happy to recommend her to others looking for affordable family photos in Canberra.

Erin Lloyd

My family had a mini session with Samara. Her approach was relaxed and fun and she made us all feel at ease in front of the camera. As a bonus she captured some spontaneous moments we had as a family which resulted in some awesome shots! Her turnaround time was very quick and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out. I would highly recommend!

Diana Zdenka

Wow. Loved Samara’s work and the creative approach to our shoot. Totally my style and our photos came out perfectly our way. So stoked to have some affordable family photos and memories.
