Frequently Asked Questions

I know that choosing your maternity and newborn photographer is something you are very cautious about. After all, you are trusting this person with capturing the precious memories of a special time in your life and those early moments in your child's life.

Below I answer the most frequently asked questions about working with me and how I will provide you with a friendly, professional and comfortable photography experience.

FAQs

What sets you apart from other photographers?

It is extremely important to choose a professional, this is why JC imagery is fully registered and insured. I am a specialist in maternity, newborn/baby, motherhood photography and fine art/editorial studio photography. I am a trained expert (with 8 years experience) and understand the strict safety methods that must be performed throughout every session, especially with newborns. 

Do you use presets/filters/actions?

I specialise in comprehensive/detailed retouching (so unlike most photographers, I don't use presets/filters/actions). If you work with me, you won't have to worry about any imperfections such as blemishes, stretch marks and certain body contours. I will edit your images to perfection, based around your personal preferences to ensure each photo is a stunning work of art.

What if my baby won't settle during the session?

Babies do have off days so please don’t stress! The best way to ensure that your new addition is comfortable and content for posing is to carefully read and follow our preparation guide. If for some other reason we are unable to finish your gallery during your visit to the studio, we will schedule a re-shoot (however, this has only happened once in 8 years)!

 

What time are sessions held?

Newborn sessions start at 9:30, during their heaviest time of sleep. They take approx 2-3 hours; allowing plenty of time to feed, settle and pose your newborn. Other sessions are held throughout the day - please contact within. 

How many setups are included in each session?

Multiple setups are included to ensure your gallery contains a lot of variety. 

Are you vaccinated?

Yes, my first aid is up to date and I'm fully vaccinated (including whooping cough)!

Can I print my digital images?

You will receive full print release with your package. All clients receive high-resolution images for personal printing and low resolution images for easy upload to your social media platforms.

Do I get to select my images?

Yes! You will receive a proof gallery to select your favourite images from the day. I will then edit those images to perfection! The average turnaround is 2 weeks for digitals and 4 weeks for tangible items/products.

Do you offer payment plans?

YES, of course! We offer interest free payment plans so you take home your desired collection right away. Instalments can be as little as $20 a week. Terms and conditions apply so please enquire for further information.

Do you have eftpos available?

EFTPOS - visa/credit card payments are available for your convenience.
