Pricing

How am I different from other photographers?  I don’t charge a per image/photo and instead will offer you the choice of a number of images on a disk for you to do as you please.  Obviously, the photography is the property of Dalli Cottage Photography to add to my portfolio but I believe that the photography is also the yours.  All I ask is that you spread the word, love and magic about Dalli Cottage Photography!

{SESSION TYPES}

Unfortunately I don’t have my hands on my own personal studio space so I am very flexible as to where I photograph. 

 Indoor Session:

This is mainly for newborn photoshoots where the temperatures need to be nice and toasty.  I think it’s really personal to do these shoots in the family’s home where the baby is comfortable and the mum doesn’t have to stress about getting the baby fed, dressed, in the car and off to me.  All I ask for is enough space in a room with fantastic natural light and lots of heating.  If you don’t have heating, that is fine – I will just bring a little heater with me.   For optimal lighting, I schedule most sessions in the mid-morning or mid-afternoon (depending on the room you have available and the time of the year). 

 Outdoor Sessions:

The one thing I love about photography is that there are no boundaries!  I am happy to go to whatever location and I am even happy for you to visit me on the farm if that is the look you are wanting.  If you want to use a particular chair on a dirt road, bed in an open paddock, etc – I am willing to do it!  The options are endless!  For any outdoor shoot, I use the gorgeous golden afternoon light – ranging from 2pm onwards depending on the season.  If it’s wet and overcast, I reschedule. 

 For all sessions, I allow upto 3 hours to capture the magic.  Allowing this much time takes the pressure off the parents and most importantly, lets the kids relax and have fun.  This is so important to capture the best photos.  With all sessions, I try to capture a combination of photos ranging from portrait style to candid photos.  The one thing I always tell parents is to just ride with the mood of the children and they will create the best family photos.  I love a photo where everyone is looking but I also love a photo where it captures the essence of each individual’s personality.  It tells a story and that is what photography is all about. 

 {TERMS & CONDITIONS}

Due to the nature of my work, all fees are non-refundable. It is my job to ensure that you LOVE your photos from your session and it’s also my job to ensure that you are comfortable with the photo shoot. From booking your session, I will be communicating with you at all times regarding locations and shoot ideas to ensure that we are on the same page. I want to hear your thoughts, your vision and your dreams for your shoot. I want each and every shoot to be fun because when it is fun, the photos ooze the magic of the moment. I want to know your likes and dislikes – everything! It is so important for the session to reflect your family – and it’s my job to ensure that this happens. If it occurs that you are not 100% happy, then we will work something out to make it right.
Due to the fact that I am a proud mum of two delightful children and a wife to a ridiculously busy farmer, all fees are non-refundable (I am sure you all appreciate how hard it is to find a babysitter!). Prices are subject to change without notice but you are locked into the current pricing on this website once your session is booked with me and you have received an e-mail confirming this.

Fees are payable on the day of your photoshoot.
