YOUR QUESTIONS

Can I order additional images if I want more?

Yes.  Additional images are:

R80 per image; or
depending on how many images we are able to capture and shared in your gallery, the maximum amount will be charged at R1000 for all the images.

How long does a Cake Smash Session take?

A cake smash session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, sometimes a bit more time is needed to get the baby used to the cake, I try not to rush this part of the cake smash, I want them to enjoy it and be happy.  Then once the splash part of the session happens we sometimes struggle to get your baby out the water.  

I would like my husband to be involved, do you work weekends?

Yes I do, weekend sessions are an additional R200, these dates get booked up very quickly so please book sooner rather than later.

What must we wear?

If you are having family photos taken I will email you a guide to help you with your outfit choices before your session.

Where will the photoshoots take place?

At my studio in Howick, where I have all my supplies to hand.

How many photographs do you take?

I take a large number photographs on your shoot. I will edit them down and share approximately 30-40 with you.

Can we have a family photo too

Yes, I have packages that include family photos, I always try keep these parts of the session quite quick and short so we don’t tire the little ones out too much before the main part of the shoot.

What time of the day do the sessions take place

A session is scheduled around your babies routine, I want your baby to be well rested for their session.
