Work With Me

 

Great photography is one of the most lasting investments you can make in your work. Long after a project is complete, strong imagery continues to tell its story. On your website, in award submissions, across social media, and in the hands of future clients.


I'm based in the Illawarra and work with Builders, Architects, Interior Designers and stylists across the Southern Highlands and South Coast NSW. Here's everything you need to know about working together.

The Process

Every project is approached with care and intention. From our first conversation through to final delivery, here's what working together looks like.

01. Let's talk


We start with a conversation about your project. What you're hoping to capture, how you plan to use the images, and whether we're a good fit. It's a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how I work before committing to anything.

02. Site visit



For local projects, I'll often come and see the space before shoot day. It helps me get a feel for the light and layout beforehand, and gives us both the opportunity to talk through each space you would like captured.

03. Quote & booking

The Investment

Every project tells a story, and no two are exactly the same.


I take the time to understand your project before putting together a quote that's tailored specifically to what you need. The size of the space, the number of images, the intended use - all of these shape the investment. Shoots are typically structured around either a half or full day, with the scope and deliverables tailored to suit your project. Investment starts from $1,200 + GST.


Frequently asked

Why should I hire a photographer to capture my projects?

Your work tells a story, and that story deserves to be told well. You put so much into every project and it would be a shame for all of that to be represented by photos that don't do it justice. If your portfolio is made up of iPhone photos or inconsistent imagery, it becomes really hard for the right clients to see the true quality of what you do. Professional photography gives you a consistent, polished visual presence across your website, social media, award submissions and marketing materials. When your imagery matches the standard of your work, attracting the clients you really want to work with becomes a whole lot easier.

What types of projects do you photograph?

I photograph a wide range of projects including new builds, renovations, architectural projects, styled shoots, interior design projects, and both interior and exterior spaces. I work with builders, developers, interior designers, architects and stylists across the Illawarra, Southern Highlands and South Coast NSW.

Where are you based and where do you service?

I'm based in the Illawarra and photograph projects across the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, South Coast NSW and the Sutherland Shire. Travel fees may apply and will be outlined in your quote upfront.

Can I send the images to other businesses to use?

All packages include a standard non-exclusive license for one business. If another business featured in the shoot, such as a builder, interior designer or kitchen supplier, would like to use the images for their own marketing purposes, they will need to purchase their own license. Get in touch and I can provide a quote.

Can I purchase more images after the shoot?

Yes. Once you receive your proof sheet you are welcome to select additional images beyond your package inclusions. These will be charged at a per image rate and invoiced separately before delivery.

Can the images be used for award submissions such as HIA and MBA awards?

Absolutely. All packages include a standard non-exclusive license covering use across your website, social media, marketing materials and industry award submissions including HIA, MBA and other design industry awards. 

When is payment required?

A 50% deposit is required to secure your shoot date. The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the final edited images, prior to delivery.

How far in advance should I book?

I typically book out around 3 to 4 weeks in advance, so it is always a good idea to get in touch when you know your project is nearing completion. That said, I love hearing from people at any stage of a project. Even if your build or renovation is still months away from completion, reach out and let's start the conversation. The earlier we connect, the more time we have to plan everything properly and make sure the shoot day goes smoothly.
