Contact Details if you need it!
Firstly – if you need to get hold of me on the day (or any time before hand!) please call me on 021 733 260. If I don’t answer, don’t leave a message as I’m hopeless at clearing my voice mail and will probably be busy with families but instead flick me a text as I will find that much easier to reply to. Where will the Photography Days be held? The locations are as follows: 15th October: Castor Bay 22nd October: Castor Bay 29th October: Arkles Bay (Hibiscus Coast) 4th November: Castor Bay 12th November: My studio (3/325 Main Road, Huapai - please note this is for younger babies only) 2nd December: Castor Bay I have tried to choose places that are easily accessible and have lots of parking. Please feel free to bring prams/carriers if this is helpful to you however you should be close enough to the beach that this won't be necessary. If this is your first multiples day at Castor Bay I will be located to the northern side of the beach next to the toilets. At high tide I may need to move to a more central location or even the park. It will be just me so no markers as such, just look for the lonely lady with a camera in hand! Arkles Bay I will be at the northern end as well by the cliff face/rocks. I haven't photographed all day here before so we will be at the mercy of the tide on the day! 
How many images will you be supplying? 20-30 images will be supplied to you in the form of a password protected online gallery. How long are the sessions? Each session will be 20 mins with ten minutes either side to allow for paperwork and lateness if required (I struggle to get anywhere on time with my two so don't worry I completely get it!). The half hour slot is firm and unfortunately I won’t be able to go past the allotted time as this is unfair on the next family. However I'm pretty good at getting what I need in a really short space of time so don't panic if the timings don't work out.

What if it is raining? As most of you will well know Auckland has four seasons in one day no matter what the weather forecast. If the odd shower passes through I will be continuing so please ensure your kids are dressed for all weather. This really is a key component of the day - wind in particular is something to watch for, what might feel nice and calm at home could be completely different at the beach particularly if there is Easterly or Southerly. If it gets really nasty I will make a call and advise you all by email so please do check your emails over the course of the day if the weather looks to be shoddy. What will Belinda Coles Photography be supplying in the way of props on the day? I have a very "lifestyle" approach to my photography – most shots will be of you as parents interacting with your children/babies so no props will be supplied. If you are in the studio I will be using rugs and blankets and possibly wraps if your babies are still newborn. What do we wear? Avoid big logos, garish and clashing colours. Here is a great link which offers some excellent advice on how to match colours. Pinterest is your friend! How long will it take before my photos are ready? I am aiming for all photos to be ready to view within three weeks of your allocated day. They will be available for print orders/file purchases for two weeks once online. All print orders will be placed at the end of these two weeks. If any of you request orders after this time that is fine but there will be $25 fee to reinstate your gallery, and also a higher shipping cost for your print orders. Files will be available as a download - USB's are available at a price of $10 each. 
What can I do with my images? All images will retain the copyright of Belinda Coles Photography (this means you are not able to claim them as your own, or apply editing to them), however NONE of your images will be used on my website or social media without your permission first. Other than that you have full rights to print your images, share them with whom you want and submit them for model calls etc if you wish AFTER payment has been made. Screen grabbing from the galleries is strictly forbidden if no payment has been made, and if this happens you will no longer be welcome to participate in the multiples photography days. |
