Working with Monique
What to expect During your session
My photography is all about creating natural, heartfelt images that tell your unique story. I want your session to feel relaxed and effortless—as though you’re spending time with a friend who just happens to be documenting your family’s story. Rather than focusing on perfectly posed smiles, my sessions are relaxed, child-led and centred on genuine connection. I’ll gently guide you through the session, encouraging cuddles, laughter, play and quiet moments together, so you can simply enjoy being present with the people you love.
FAQ
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can take place at a location of your choice or at one of my recommended outdoor locations. I’m always happy to help suggest a spot that suits your family and the look you’re after.
How long until we receive our gallery?
Galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks of your session. Special event sessions may vary slightly depending on coverage length.
How many images will we receive?
Image numbers vary by session type and are listed on my Investment page. All images are professionally edited and delivered in both colour and black & white.
Can other family members join our session?
Immediate family is included in family and newborn sessions. Extended family sessions can be arranged — please see above for pricing.
Are newborn sessions posed?
My newborn sessions are relaxed and baby-led. I focus on natural moments, gentle posing and capturing those tiny details in a calm, unhurried way.
What if my baby or children don’t cooperate?
That’s completely okay — and expected! Sessions are designed to be relaxed and flexible, allowing space for breaks, cuddles and movement. Some of the most beautiful moments happen in between.
Do you offer maternity and newborn bundles?
Yes! Maternity and newborn sessions can be bundled for $800, offering great value when booked together.
How do we book?
To secure your session, simply get in touch via the contact form. A booking fee is required to lock in your date.
Is there a travel fee?
Travel within the Bendigo area is included. Locations outside this area may incur a small travel fee, which will always be discussed prior to booking so there are no surprises.
What happens if the weather isn’t suitable?
If the weather isn’t ideal (heavy rain, extreme heat or unsafe conditions), we’ll work together to reschedule your session. I always keep a close eye on the forecast and will be in touch if changes are needed.
Can we reschedule our session?
Absolutely. I understand that life happens — especially with little ones. If you need to reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible so we can find a new date that works for everyone.
