Frequently Asked Questions



Where is your Studio?
Our studio is located at 67 Cowlishaw Street Redhead (20 mins south of Newcastle NSW) By appointment only.

What are your working hours?
9am to 5pm weekdays and Saturdays

Can I send you some of my ideas?
Sure. We love to hear your ideas and requests for your photo shoot. It helps us prepare the studio properly and ensures that you will get the results you are looking for.
Of course, if you are unsure, we can guide you through a number of poses and lighting styles that bring out your best.

Does the $95.00 photo shoot price get me any photographs?
The $95.00 photo shoot price covers our studio shoot time, preparation time and editing time. It doesn't pay for any images.

When will the photos be ready to view?
It takes us about 7 days to edit the photos from your session. After that time we can make an appointment for you to view them. we have no minimum order requiremant. You simply purchase the images that suit your budget. The average customer spends between $300 and $1500.

How far ahead do I need to book?
That depends on the time of year but we can usually find a time slot for you at a couple of weeks notice.

Should I get a spray tan for my shoot?
We prefer natural skin tone for the lighting in the studio but if a mild tan will boost your confidence then that is fine.

How should I prepare for my photo shoot?
Scrub and moisturise your skin in the weeks leading up to the shoot. Look after your skin.
Mani and pedi are always good
Drink water and avoid foods that may bloat you.
For Boudoir and Fine Art shoots, wear loose clothing to avoid skin marks.

Can I bring a friend?
Yes. We like it when you bring someone with you but please make sure that it is someone you can relax and have fun with.
Generally a girlfriend, sister or mum are a better choice than your partner. We find that most ladies don't relax when their partner is watching.

Will my photos be on the internet?
We never display any clients photographs without their express permission. If you prefer to keep the images secret, we will respect that.

What about my stretch marks, cellulite and acne?
We process every image through photo shop to "level one" which includes removing all of the above as well as any other enhancements we feel you may appreciate.
Any further requested post production may incur a slight charge.

Im not as young and thin as the girls on your website? Full Figure, Plus sized.
Depending on your preferences we can pose and light you to achieve beautiful results.
We can also chat about any photoshop enhancements that you would like.

Do I bring my own outfits?
We have a limited wardrobe at the studio so it is best to bring your own outfits. You have a wardrobe full of clothing that you like and it may be a good excuse for some shopping.
We can give you some suggestions for the style of shoot you are having. We also have some fact sheets that we can send to you to help you prepare for your photo shoot.

What about Hair and Make up?
We have some amazing Hair and Make up stylists that we can call on (see our pricing page) or you can arrange to do your own and save that cost.
We recommend particularly using a make up artist that is truely familiar with photographic make up.

What is your Guarantee policy?
We are very confident that we can produce images that you will love. We GUARANTEE that when you see your images you will be amazed or we will refund the cost of your photo shoot.
This guarantee can be claimed at the time of your proof showing and not later. The guarantee does not include hair and make up costs.

I'm ready now. How do I book?
To book your shoot or to ask any questions you may have just call Allyson or Warren on 0415 111102 or email warren@imaginephoto.com.au

I am a bit nervous and lack confidence, will you help me?
Most ladies that we photograph are in front of the camera for the first time. When they leave after their shoot they are always on a high and have had a great time.
We will tell you everything to do from how to sit, where to look, what to think to get the best expression. You just need to relax and enjoy the experience.
Remember: no one will ever see any of the photographs unless you show them.

All your women look like models, are they?
Because we don't display our clients photos unless they give us permission, we need to do some shoots for our website with local ladies who are keen to model for us.
None of them are full time professional models. They just love the experience.

How much will I pay overall?
You will pay for your photo shoot ($95.00) and your Hair and make up on the day of your shoot.
Then you will pay for the images you purchase at the showing (about 1 week later).

 Can I pay off my photo order?
We don't use finance companies or any formal finance arrangements but we can organise something for you. Just ask.

Can I purchase digital files or Prints?
Yes. Either professional quality prints or colour graded digital files are available for purchase.

I don't have / don't like wearing lingerie. I'm not the lingerie type.
That's fine. There are many outfits we can suggest that will fit the boudoir or glamour style.

I am not very photogenic.
Most women say this when they book their session because they have never been photographed in the right way. We have never met a woman that doesn't look beautiful with the right lighting, posing and image treatment.
A photo shoot will definitely boost your confidence.

How many outfits should I bring?
You can bring as many outfits as you like. Even things that you have never worn before. We may not use them all but it gives us more choice and gives you more variety.

I am excitedly nervous. Is that normal?
Yes. A photo shoot is a unique experience in a woman's life. Try to appreciate all of the feelings that come with the anticipation.

Is the photographer male or female?
Warren will be your photographer. He has been shooting women's portraits for almost 40 years. He knows how to help you through your shoot and how to bring out your best.

Can I do a anonymous boudoir or fine Art shoot?
We have done a few of these shoots in the past where the lady requests more anonymous images without their face showing or wearing head coverings or masks.
This is a growing style of fine art photography that can be displayed in your home without any recognition.

Can you make me look thinner?
Our Photoshop skills are amazing. You already look beautiful as you are but we try can make subtle adjustments if requested.

Do you have gift Certificates?
Yes. just call or email us to arrange a gift certificate to any value that suits you.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
If you want us to book a hair and make up artist for your shoot you will need to pay a $50.00 deposit on booking.
