The Studio
-
Our studio is nestled in the charming northern Gold Coast suburb of Pimpama, just a mere 5 minutes off the highway at Exit 56.
Conveniently located for easy access, our studio is thoughtfully designed to provide you with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're joining us for maternity sessions, newborn boudoir, or the joyous chaos of a cake smash celebration, our studio in Pimpama serves as the backdrop for creating timeless memories.
-
Given that the studio is situated in a residential area, convenient street parking is available right in front of the studio.
-
When working with newborn babies, I maintain the studio temperature at approximately 24-30 degrees to ensure your baby stays comfortably warm throughout the session. For maternity and boudoir sessions, the studio is heated based on the weather, aiming for a pleasant 24 degrees.
-
Yes, you are welcome to bring food and drinks into the studio. However, please refrain from bringing NUTS or nut products, as there may be little ones with allergies visiting. For extended sessions, such as newborn sessions, feel free to order Uber Eats and enjoy your snacks on the comfortable couch.

Given space limitations in the studio, it is most suitable for immediate household members. We recommend that individuals not involved in the photoshoot remain at home whenever feasible. Families with siblings are encouraged to explore nearby shops or parks after their portraits have been taken, ensuring a comfortable and focused environment during the session.
