FAQs

“I’m not photogenic”, “I always look awkward in photos”, etc…

The Experience at Amelia McLeod Photography is a luxurious full-service photoshoot. Allow any apprehensions you have of having your photo taken to dissolve as the professional team pamper you with beautiful makeup and hair artistry before you are fully guided by me through posing to flatter your figure and favourite features. With complete confidence, I know that we can create amazingly beautiful images of you and present you with an exquisite portfolio of portraits that are sure to inspire.

Where will I be photographed?

Most photoshoots are held in my studio in Panorama, SA. However, if you have somewhere in mind, or a composite would be best photographed on location, I would love to travel to your dream location with you.

Is the Portrait Experience customisable?

Absolutely, Yes! Each portrait session is uniquely designed for each individual client, typically photographing 4-5 different looks.  Do you want to be photographed in your favourite blue jeans and leather jacket? Yep, can do. Or do you want something that makes you feel like you have stepped from the pages of Vanity Fair? Done! What about something surreal from a dreamscape? Everyday of the week! You can do it all in one session. From props to set creation, from wardrobe to posing, I am here to help you achieve the photos of your dreams. 

I’m really interested, but I’d still like to know a little more before I book

Well, that's superb! You can email, call or text Amelia and we can discuss when you would like your session to be booked.  From there we can let the exciting part begin and start planning your Portrait Experience!

When do you do portrait sessions?

Portrait sessions are booked on Tuesdays or Fridays. Saturdays are occasionally available, however they book up very quickly. 

What is the Design Consultation?

This is when we meet either in person, or virtually, at least 3-4 weeks before your photoshoot, to help you to decide how you want to be photographed.  We will discuss wardrobe styling ideas and any props and elements that need to be sourced to create the sets we need. If you are thinking of a conceptual or illustrative portrait, we will discuss and decide upon any extra photographs that I will need to bring your ideas to life. 

What is the Portrait Reveal and Ordering Session?

This is the time when we sit down together and go through all your amazing photos and pick your favourites.  You will be able to decide which ones you would  like to keep and order. 

When will I receive my ordered images?

Delivery times do vary depending on the number of images ordered, the work required for editing, and print options.  Typically this is 3-4 weeks after payment is received and will be discussed with you at the ordering session.
