Questions
Some of my most frequently asked questions.
-
The easiest way to book is by sending me a message on Instagram @franaphotography. We'll chat about your vision, choose the right session and find a date that suits. Once confirmed, a $50 non-refundable deposit is due to secure a place on my calendar.
-
Outdoor sessions take place at carefully selected locations throughout the Camden and Macarthur region. I also photograph coastal sessions, although these are limited each month. In-home newborn sessions are held in the comfort of your own home. Travel outside of the Macarthur region is possible for a small travel fee.
-
My session pricing includes travel within approximately 30 minutes from Narellan including Camden, Narellan, Oran Park, Harrington Park, Gregory Hills, Gledswood Hills, Mount Annan, Spring Farm, Elderslie, Currans Hill, Catherine Field, Cobbitty, Picton, Tahmoor, Campbelltown and surrounding suburbs.
-
I don’t prescribe a strict time window for my newborn sessions. My priority is the mother’s recovery and the health of your baby. Newborn photos within the first 3 weeks are more likely to achieve sleepy photos. That said, every stage is beautiful, and older newborns often bring more eye contact, stretches and little expressions that parents love just as much.
-
I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 30 and 34 weeks. At this stage, your bump is beautifully defined while you're often still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Every pregnancy is different though, so if you're expecting twins or have a high-risk pregnancy, we may choose an earlier date.
-
Once your session is booked, we will discuss choosing outfits that photograph beautifully while feeling comfortable and true to your family. My style and locations suit earthy colour palettes, such as beige, taupe, brown, sage, khaki and white. Whilst bold prints are not recommended, subtle patterns such as gingham and checks in the above mentioned colour ways often photograph well.
-
Outdoor sessions may be rescheduled if the weather isn't suitable. I'll be in touch if a change is needed and we'll arrange another date together.
-
Your online gallery will be delivered within four weeks of your session, often sooner.
-
Yes. Sessions within the Macarthur region are included. For locations further afield, a travel fee may apply depending on distance.
-
Absolutely. Friendly pets are welcome at outdoor sessions provided they're comfortable around people and suitable for the chosen location.
-
My editing style is natural and timeless. Temporary blemishes, scratches and distractions are gently retouched, especially for newborn and maternity sessions. I do gently soften skin texture and clothing imperfections. I do not alter body shape, facial features or apply significant skin smoothing.
