Before You Book



What types of sessions does Noosa Photography Co offer?
Noosa Photography Co offers photography sessions across three main areas.
- Personal photography covers everything for you and the people you love. That includes Couples & Anniversaries, Families & Extended families, Holiday Getaways, Maternity & Newborns, Proposals & Engagements, and Elopements & Weddings.
- Business photography covers everything a brand or professional needs, including headshots, personal branding, product photography, commercial photography, brand storytelling and campaigns, and event and lifestyle photography.
- Photography education is available for photographers at every stage, from hobby photographers through to established professionals looking to develop their technical skills, creative eye, pricing systems and business workflows.
Visit the personal photography, business photography or education pages for full details on every session type.
Can you help with a proposal or surprise?
Absolutely, and we’re experienced secret keepers. For anything involving a surprise, all communication stays on email unless you tell us otherwise. Styled picnics, boats and other extras aren’t part of our packages, but we love making them happen and have the connections to point you in the right direction. Just ask.
When is the best time for maternity or newborn photos?
- Maternity sessions are usually best between 32 and 36 weeks, when your bump has fully rounded but you’re still comfortable moving around.
- For newborns, we pencil in an approximate date when you book, then confirm once your baby arrives. The first 14 days are ideal for sleepy, curled up portraits, though lovely portraits happen at every stage.
How much does a photography session cost?
Packages are available to suit most budgets, starting from $450. Most clients spend $1,300 or more across their session, images and artwork. Enquire for a quote built around you.
Where are the session locations?
Wherever suits you.
Noosa’s beaches, the river mouth, hinterland views, rock formations, waterfalls, lakes, botanical gardens and private properties are all options, as is your accommodation or home.
Many clients have a spot already in mind, and we’ll make it work wherever the conditions allow. If you’re not sure, we’ll help you find somewhere that fits the occasion, the season and the light. Browse the Noosa photography locations guide for inspiration, or simply ask when you enquire.
One thing worth knowing: most hotels and restaurants don’t permit professional photography on-site, so if you’re visiting and want to include your accommodation, it’s worth checking with them ahead of time.
Will we have the location to ourselves?
Noosa is a busy place and all beaches and public spaces are shared. We can’t hire them privately, but we know where to take you to avoid the main crowds.
If privacy matters most to you, ask about an early start. Quieter times of day make a real difference, and where we can, we’ll tidy distractions in the background in editing.
What do we wear?
Every client receives a detailed welcome guide on booking. It covers everything from colour palette suggestions to real what to wear examples for the whole family so everyone feels coordinated and confident on the day.
Do you travel outside Noosa?
Yes. We are based in Noosa, but available for shoots across the Sunshine Coast, interstate and international. Contact us for travel availability and any applicable fees.
When should I book?
- The best time to book is always as early as you can, especially if you are visiting Noosa and need flexibility around weather.
- As a general guide, maternity sessions suit weeks 32 to 36, newborn bookings are best made tentatively during your third trimester, and weddings benefit from getting in touch as soon as possible.
- Not sure when works for you? Just ask.
How much coverage do we need for our wedding?
- The images couples come back to years later are almost always from the daylight hours: the ceremony, the portraits and golden hour. As the evening begins, the focus naturally shifts to the people around you, which is exactly where it should be.
- We’ll recommend the coverage that gives you the most value long after the day.
What is your availability?
- Availability fills quickly and we take limited bookings each month. It is always worth checking in.
Can I bring a pet?
Yes, pets are welcome in outdoor sessions. Just let us know ahead of time so we can choose a pet-friendly location.
Do you photograph same-sex couples and all families?
Absolutely, always have and always will. Love is love, and every story deserves the same care.
Small, large, blended and extended families, we do it all. Just let us know when you enquire and we will plan the timing and flow to make sure everyone is included and nobody feels rushed.
We have an extended family or large group. Can you photograph us?
Absolutely, and some of our favourite sessions are the big, noisy ones. Whether it’s three generations together for a milestone birthday or a family reunion years in the making, we plan the timing and flow so everyone is included.
We’ll make sure you get the whole group together, each family on its own, and those special combinations like grandparents with the grandkids. For gatherings over 20 people, we may recommend a second photographer so everyone is properly looked after.
Just let us know who’s coming when you enquire, and we’ll shape your quote around your group.
Will we actually look good in our photos?
Yes, and we say that with complete confidence. We are natural light photographers with decades of experience who put genuine care into every frame. We find the light that works, the angle that flatters and the moment where everyone looks completely themselves. Whatever the day brings, we know how to make it work.
Our clients consistently tell us how much they love their images. Read hundreds of their reviews here.
When will I see my images?
Standard delivery is 7 to 14 days. If you need them sooner, just ask and we can include a faster option in your quote.
What if my kids are grumpy or uncooperative on the day?
It happens and it is completely fine. We have photographed every temperament imaginable. Grumpy kids, shy kids, kids who will not stop moving. The real moments are always the best ones anyway.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available for any Noosa photography session or product. Shop gift vouchers here.
Office hours and session times
- We are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 2pm. Sessions run during daylight hours, with early mornings and late afternoons being the most popular times.
- If we are out on a shoot, please leave a message and we will get back to you.
The way we look after our clients

How do I pay my reservation fee?
Once you receive your booking quote you can pay by credit card, direct deposit or cash. Whatever works best for you.
What if I am running late?
Running late? Just send a quick text.
We have a 15-minute grace period built in. If we haven’t heard from you by the 20-minute mark the session will be cancelled and your reservation fee forfeited.
What is your rescheduling and weather policy?
Life happens and we get it.
- With 60 or more days notice you get one complimentary reschedule to a new date within 60 days. Less than 60 days notice, a 50% reservation fee applies to the new booking. If you need to reschedule again beyond that, a new reservation fee is required.
- Illness or injury, get in touch as soon as you can. Fees may be waived.
Weather
- Weather is part of the experience of shooting outdoors in Noosa and we handle it with flexibility and good judgement. Conditions are monitored closely and you will always be kept informed ahead of your session.
- Overcast days are actually ideal for photography, delivering soft, even light that flatters everyone. Light rain is workable and brief showers rarely stop a session. Heavy rain is the exception where rescheduling makes sense, and we will always work with you to find the best alternative time.
Cancellation policy
- Life happens and we handle it with fairness and flexibility. Get in touch as soon as you can and we will always do our best to work with you.
- Full cancellation terms are outlined in your booking contract.
Payment options
- Payments are in Australian dollars (AUD). We accept cash, direct deposit and credit card. Any card surcharges are outlined in your quote.
