Your Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before stepping in front of my camera.
From booking and locations to what to wear and what happens when the kids have other plans — you’ll find the answers to my most frequently asked questions below.
-
Simply reach out via my website form, email or social media. A 20% non-refundable retainer secures your date with the remainder due 7 days before your session. -
Yes - I edit all images in my signature timeless style for consistency and polish. I do light retouching where needed, but keep everything looking natural and true to you. -
Once your session is booked, you’ll receive my Style Guide to help take the guesswork out of choosing outfits. I recommend coordinating rather than matching, with complementary colours, textures and pieces that feel like you.
You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe, available as part of most sessions, with a curated collection of beautiful, photo-ready pieces.
-
Yes! Photography is a meaningful gift, and vouchers are available for all sessions.
-
Your photos will be delivered by a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution images and share with loved ones. -
Yes I do. While I am based in the South Burnett/Gympie region, I am more than happy to travel. Travel fees may apply depending on distance. -
Life happens - I allow reschedules with notice. Your booking fee is non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date.
-
Honestly? That's completely normal.
I'm a mum too, and I don't expect little ones — or grown-ups — to stand still and smile on command. My sessions are relaxed and movement-focused, with plenty of play, cuddles and breaks when needed. Some of the best moments happen amongst the chaos.
-
Sessions can be held at your property, a favourite outdoor location, or at one of my private locations/studio. -
Absolutely. My client wardrobe includes a curated collection of timeless, flattering pieces available to borrow for selected sessions. You'll also receive styling guidance to help bring everyone's outfits together beautifully.
-
Queensland weather likes to keep us on our toes! I’ll keep an eye on the forecast leading up to your session and, if the weather isn’t suitable, we’ll work together to find the best option.
Depending on your session, this may mean adjusting the location, making use of my indoor studio, or rescheduling to another suitable date.
-
For outdoor sessions, I generally recommend late afternoon leading into golden hour. The light is softer, warmer and much more flattering — giving us that beautiful glow you’ll see throughout my work.
Your exact session time will vary throughout the year, and I’ll guide you on the best start time when we organise your booking.
-
No, I don’t provide RAW or unedited files. The editing process is an important part of creating the finished imagery you see throughout my portfolio and is part of what you’re investing in when you book with The COWGRL Edit.
Your gallery will include your professionally edited, high-resolution images, finished in my signature style and ready to enjoy, print and share.
-
Absolutely — I love including the animals that are part of your story! Just let me know when enquiring so we can choose a suitable location and plan accordingly.
Please note that due to biosecurity requirements, outside animals cannot be brought onto my private farm location. If you’d like to include your dog, horse or another animal, we can photograph your session at your own property or another pet-friendly location instead.
Still have a Question?
I’m always happy to chat.
If there's something I haven't covered here, or you're simply not sure which session is right for you, send me a message and we'll figure it out together.
