What ever photography requirement you need, I am here to assist you. Give me a call any time to discuss your needs on 0433392825

I am based in Adelaide, and the types of photography I mainly specialise in are -

  1. Weddings
  2. Events (birthdays, christenings, parties, corporate speeches, graduations etc)
  3. Families (on location shoots at the beach or a nice garden for $300 for up to an hour)
  4. and my new work now includes Studio Work, at Reynella - for gorgeous portraits, family shoots, modelling shots, headshots, instagram profiles, and more.

 

I also do product photography - see examples in my Adobe Behance Profile

 

I can assist with poses, especially large groups. Making you or your partner look natural and non self conscious in your photographs. Posing the shots is something that takes many years to learn well.

    My popular wedding package is $650 for three hours. People say I underquote, and could ask more for what I provide - but I like to help people, and always try my best to deliver an exceptional service.

     

    Some more text ..... (google loves this so bare with me .. 😉 )

    I like interacting with people, and concentrate on natural looking poses, which I help set up - as I always find most people appreciate a bit of help with having it worked out what their best and most flattering angles are. I go for natural looking expressions, and genuine emotions of love, vulnerability, connection and happiness.

    Customer service is important and I offer an affordable, competitive photo package. Weddings start at $450 for the first hour, with $650 for 3 hours being the most sought after package. Family and Corporate shoots start at $300 for the first hour.

    I've lived in South Australia my whole life, and I can relate to the average South Aussie.
    I offer a relaxed and casual photographic experience. To make you feel yourself, and to capture your best likeness.
    If you are looking for someone who can capture the essence of your personality and bring out the very best in your photos then you have come to the right person. My photography style is unassuming but I always assist in bringing out the best in my subjects.  Knowing the right shot is an art. Quality is one thing that is best not to compromise on, especially if it is a wedding, or special event.
    You may think of saving money and going to someone with less experience, or a limited folio, but did you consider you may also get what you paid for. Quality isn't cheap, but my rates are affordable. Same goes in the reverse, just because someone charges thousands, it does not mean their work will be amazing. The best way to know who to hire is to look at their portfolio, see if the photos are ones like what you want, and ring up and talk to the person, and see how comfortable you feel. Feeling comfortable is important, and I work with my clients to make sure I give them what they are after in the way that they like.

    I use Canon Camera equipment, for over twenty years now.

    I have a separate business where I provide Family Fundraiser Photography. Book today for your kindy or school. The most generous rewards in SA. All the details are on this separate website Alayna's Fundraising Studio

    Thanks again for popping through, feel free to ring me if you have any queries. PH 0433392825.
