Investing in professional portraits and prints to display in your home is the most memorable way to celebrate your family! We often don't stop to do something for ourselves, something that makes us happy and cherishes those we love, something other than going to work, paying the bills, and all the other boring things!
Photographer Michelle offers a full service from capturing your portraits, to creating products ready to display in your home. Michelle believes your precious photographs deserve to be seen and enjoyed every day! Leave the stress of organising your photographic prints in Michelle's hands. Let's be honest, life is busy! Simply decide on what products you would like during your Ordering Session and she will do the rest for you!
To book your photography experience, there is just a Session Fee required of $150-$250 (depending on the session type). This also includes all pre-shoot planning and the use of a large range of props and outfits for babies. After your photography session, you return for an Ordering Session approximately a week later where you select your favourite photographs and decide what products best suit you. A minimum investment of $695 is required, however most clients excitedly select a Collection valued between $1550-$2500. These collections give you 10-30 of your favourite photographs fully edited and supplied in a variety of premium Wall Decor, albums, prints and digital files.
Products In Detail
Wall Decor
Having a FOREVER piece hanging on your wall that makes you SMILE every day is just priceless! You've gone to so much effort to have your photographs taken, so why not enjoy looking at them every day! These pieces of Wall Decor are just stunning, professionally made to the highest of standards and will last forever. I'm sure you will fall in love with them once you see them! Wall Decor includes Framed Enlargements & Collages, plus prints on Canvas and Acrylic - all ready to hang.
Framed Enlargements
All framed enlargements are created with a cardboard matte surrounding your photograph, giving a truly professional finish!
I can help you choose an appropriate size, as this is quite important as you don't want your photograph to look too big or too small for your wall.
Your photograph is printed on Fine Art Paper and frames are available in White, Oak and Black. You also have the option of a traditional 30mm frame or the more modern 20mm box frame.
From $695
Canvas
Photographs printed on canvas add a warm feel to your home, and multiple canvas prints displayed together look just stunning.
Canvas prints can also be finished with a surrounding box frame, which gives a
beautifully elegant finish! This is the perfect way to create a statement piece with one of your photographs displayed on a wall all to its own. Since introducing the box frame canvas, they have proven to be very popular!
From $695
Acrylic
I must admit that Acrylic Prints are my absolute favourite! They are a frameless design with a glass-like finish, offering a very modern look.
Their stunning simplicity means that it is also easy to place your photograph in any room without worrying about matching frame colours or design.
Your photograph is also printed on a metallic paper, enhancing the modern feel of the acrylic finish!
From $945
Collages
Collages are perfect for displaying your photographs together without the need for multiple frames, and therefore they take up less space. Within the one frame you can capture the essence of your whole photo shoot with your favourite memories! I offer collages that include 3, 4, 5, 7 or 13 photos. My most popular product is easily the 5 photo collage personalised with your baby's name and inclusive of 5 photographs from your Baby Photography Session.
Choose to have your collage framed or as an Acrylic print ~ both look amazing!
From $950
Professional Prints
All professional prints are presented in elegant, ready-to-frame cardboard mattes and are printed by a professional lab, giving stunning colours & detail and are of archival quality - guaranteed not to fade unlike many retail prints. A variety of Professional Prints are supplied in Collections starting from $695.
Photo Albums
Photo Albums really are a special way of savouring your photographs forever. These are designed by myself and are completely hand-made. There are many hours involved in designing and creating them and they are just stunning! Best of all, they are also made in Australia! Album packages begin from $2500 and also include your favourite photographs as Digital Files.
Digital Files
The digital files of your photographs are supplied in many packages. Photographs are also supplied in both colour and black and white (2 digital files per photo) for no extra fee.
Packages are designed to give you the best of both worlds; both professional product and your digital files. Most people feel it is important to have the digital files of their photographs, but some don't realise there is a significant quality difference between professional prints and those printed at a retail store. Therefore I have examples in my studio comparing professional to retail prints so you can make a clear decision on what purchases best suit you! You can also read my BLOG on this.
All products are sourced locally and made from the highest quality of materials. All products are on display in my studio for you to see during your Photo Session and Ordering Session.
Why Invest in Professional Photography?
There are so many reasons to invest in professional portraits, but these are my top reasons:
❤️ Your children are only small for a short time, and this time will fly by before you know it!
❤️ Photography has the amazing ability to re-ignite your memories, especially the precious memories of your children and beloved pets.
❤️ Professional photography is an investment for a lifetime. Including your child’s lifetime!
❤️ They aren’t just photographs, they are your family’s heirloom and they transform your house into a home.
❤️ Displaying photographs in your home boosts your child's self esteem!
❤️ Your phone is not a camera. A professional camera & lenses will set back a photographer anywhere from $5000+. Photographers have a creative eye and the skills to use their camera manually to create stunning portraits.
❤️ Professional photographers have an in-depth knowledge of lighting, how to best pose people, plus have editing skills that can turn a good portrait into a work-of-art! Do your research and choose a photographer whose work you love so you don’t have any regrets every time you look at your photographs!
❤️ Make sure your photographic memories stand the test of time. Nothing beats the quality of professional prints that are guaranteed not to fade or discolour over time. Especially when enlarging your photographs, the quality of a professional portrait is next-to-none.
❤️ You cannot take photographs of yourself! Let a professional photographer capture the love and special connections you share as a family.
