HOW WE TELL YOUR STORY

HAPPY CLIENT

“The way in which you have captured my (crazy) kids and their personalities is something that I will be forever grateful for

My philosophy, my passion, my WHY, is to capture true JOY, pure LOVE and real CONNECTION. This can’t be done if I just ask you to sit nicely and smile at the camera. This happens when your cheeks are hurting because you’re all beyond happy and your hearts are bursting with the love you have for your family right at this moment.

Each and every season and stage is precious

Each moment is worthy of being captured

Each second is worth living to the fullest

let’s chat

HAPPY CLIENT

“Polly is so relaxed and friendly, she made it so fun”

Maternity

Much like the journey to meeting your little one, no two pregnancies are quite the same, yet all are magic in their own way. Our maternity session together is all about capturing your pregnancy in a way that makes you feel beautiful, comfortable and empowered in your body. To me, there is nothing more radiant than a belly in full bloom.

Whether you’d like to get creative and emphasize your bump, or whether you’d prefer to focus on capturing your sweet family bond before you add another member, this session is a love note to yourself, and a celebration of the beauty, power and selflessness of growing and nurturing your little cherub.

Newborn

There is nothing quite like the beautiful, exhausting, euphoric haze of the newborn bubble, when your life is consumed by cuddling, nourishing and soaking in every inch of your newest little love. It’s a kind of magic that can’t be explained, just felt.

To capture all of this goodness and more, I offer the option of an in-home and on-location newborn session, so that you feel completely at ease, and most like yourself during our time together. Whether you’d prefer to stay in the comfort of your own space, or embrace the outdoors, together we’ll capture intimate moments with your newest little love that you’ll treasure forever.

You may also want to embrace nature during your newborn session, which also is a great opportunity to get outside, breath in the fresh air, and enjoy this special time with your new baby.

Family

Family sessions are all about embracing each and every age and stage – whether you’re in the thick of toddler-hood, on the cusp of school-aged children, or now celebrating becoming a grandparent. There is magic in every season, and our family session together is all about embracing your vibe and capturing you exactly as you are, in a fun, playful and relaxed nature.

The beauty of family sessions is that they can be as unique as your tribe, shot on-location at golden hour, or in the comfort of your family home in the mid-morning light – whatever feels most like you! Either way, there will be plenty of fun, laughter and love during our time together, and then a beautiful gallery of images to last a lifetime!

THE CREATIVE FEE

Think of the Creative Fee as an all-access pass to my knowledge, collection of favourite shoot locations, and more!

$250 (1-2 hours)

Your Creative Fee is a non-refundable amount that secures your booking, and covers the planning, travel and time dedicated to making your session and images truly unforgettable.

I’m constantly on the look out for new locations and dreamy backdrops. So, if you’ve spotted your dream location from one of my previous shoots – lets chat. I recommend in-home sessions for newborns and babies. There’s always an added sense of comfort, warmth and sentimental value.

Beyond the location, your Creative Fee also covers the creative process of editing and curating your gallery. This can take up to 3 – 4 weeks and involves intricate yet subtle edits that produce the most magical galleries. In addition, it also includes a complimentary 8×12″ print with any order. As soon as I receive your Creative Fee, your booking is officially locked in, and the fun begins.

I was keen to get some shots to remember my bare bump but nervous about feeling exposed or that these photos might seem a bit indulgent. Hands down it was the best decision. I felt so safe, beautiful and empowered with Polly. And the photos are just stunning – I look like a goddess! 

Haylee

Oh my goodness!!! I sobbed the whole way through the slide show. You have truely worked your magic and these are photos we’ll treasure forever. SO precious! I know we’ll treasure them forever.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Polly is without a doubt a master of her craft. We count down the days to our shoots as not only are they so much family fun, but we know that these are precious memories that we will hold for our lifetime.

Got any questions?

Relax! This is not uncommon, but don’t worry. I’m yet to meet a kid that I couldn’t coax a smile from. With that said, it’s nice to have some contrast from smiles. The stern, thoughtful expressions are equally as cute. It’s not about forcing smiles, it’s about having fun. By the end of the session the smiles will happen, naturally.

Think of it as less about having your photo taken, and more about spending an hour or so of uninterrupted time playing and exploring with your family. I am continuously told by families that they’re surprised by how at ease they felt during their session, and that they barely even noticed the camera. There is no posing, or smiling for the camera during my sessions, which keeps things casual, relaxed and most of all FUN!

We’re all guilty of being a little harsh on ourselves from time to time, but I promise you, you’re never more beautiful than when you’re surrounded by your loved ones. This is what I capture. The overwhelming look of love, joy and adoration as you interact with your family. It’s my job to get the best angles, and lighting, and your job to focus on having an amazing time, and I assure you, the result will be stunning! 

Ultimately, it’s all about feeling confident and comfortable which means wearing something that feels like ‘you’. I share lots of outfit inspo in the lead up to your session, including a curated Pinterest board with colour palettes and textures that photograph beautifully. As a general rule, if in doubt, you can never go wrong with neutrals.

We simply reschedule! We can’t control illness or the weather (unfortunately) but I factor contingency days into my calendar to allow for rescheduling. In the event of wet weather, I’ll wait until the day of your session to make the call to reschedule – the weather often pulls through. If you become unwell, I just ask that you contact me as soon as you can, and we’ll find an alternative date!
