Indoor and outdoor seating to take in the views of the Gargarro Botanic Garden or take a stroll around after your meal or coffee.

I have been asked on many occasions why are my prices so low compared to others. My answer is always the same. I believe in creating memories that last a lifetime and I believe everyone should be able to afford them. As a single mum, I know how tight money can be sometimes and having a photo session normally isn't within reach due to the costs of living that keep rising. Do I skimp on quality? The answer is NO. Yes, I use an old camera at the moment that isn't as high quality as the newer expensive ones (my expensive one is currently sitting in a draw with issues 😐), but it still produces nice images for you to keep and hand down to all future generations. I am a self-taught hobbyist photographer and although my main subjects are animals and nature I have started to venture more into people photography to broaden my skills even further. I like to offer sessions at affordable prices where I can. I will add a list below for you to check out. I am quite flexible with days and times and I am available most weekdays and most weekends. If you have been putting off family photos, get in touch to see what we can work out.

Sessions I can offer and what's included:

- FAMILY $120
Includes: session time of up to 45 minutes and ALL edited images (min 15 images)

- COUPLES $70
Includes: Session time of up to 30 minutes and ALL edited images (min 15 images)

- SOLO $50
Includes: Session time of up to 20 minutes and ALL edited images
(min 15 images)

All images are delivered via email or can be put onto a USB for an extra $10. USB can be collected the next day or posted to you.

All sessions are held at the Gargarro Botanic Garden located in Girgarre VIC.

I may also offer special event sessions throughout the year like Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas which are advertised closer to those dates.

Thank you to everyone for your support

What an afternoon with these 6 adorable, 7 week old little miniature poodles at the Gargarro Botanic Garden. 4 girls and 2 boys, bred by Grand Revé Poodles, these little cuties will be looking for their forever homes next weekend. Perfect late Mother's Day present 🤣 We ended the session with a drink and snack from the Gargarro Botanic Gardens Cafe

Melissa, Harrison and Christian for her Mother's Day session tonight at the Gargarro Botanic Garden in Girgarre, VIC.

Due to the wet weather we are getting on the weekend the clouds started to roll in and made a beautiful sunset.

Still need somewhere to take mum for mother's day or still need to get her a gift? Why not book in for breakfast or lunch at the Gargarro Botanic Gardens Cafe and maybe grab her a plant from the Gargarro Green Thumbs Nursery. Everything sorted in the one convenient place. The Girgarre Markets is also on the 10th of May so perfect place to pick up a little something too.
