You have been sent here because you are part of Tania, Shannan's or Christina's Baby Sensory classes and I will be visiting your class very soon!

Who am I?
My name is Belinda and I have been photographing Baby Sensory classes since 2013.  I have three boys aged 7-14, and my youngest was also a baby sensory baby so I have a really good understanding of the class and how it works.

What do I do?
I am a full time maternity, newborn and family photographer with a studio based in Huapai.  I travel all over to clients (including Baby Sensory!) and absolutely love my job!  I have been working as a photographer since 2012 and feel very blessed to do what I love every day.  I am also studying at university full time to be a Speech Language Therapist!

So what are Baby Sensory Photos?
Every term I will come to your class to take photos.  It is entirely optional for you to take part, but is also an excellent opportunity to have updated photos of your babies every few months, and an even better opportunity for you as mums to actually exist IN the photos!  As a mum myself, it's pretty rare I have photos with my own children outside of a selfie - and I know lots of other mums have the same problem.  Think of it like a pop in photos exclusively for Baby Sensory babies!

How do I participate?
During the class I will be moving myself around the room taking photos of your baby participating in the class.  You may also notice a small set up in the corner of the room - during breaks and after class I will be based here - simply pop over and have a photo.  

Is there anything I need to know to the make the experience better?
I will chat to your baby and 9 times out of 10 I will capture smiles purely by doing this.  Babies LOVE being spoken to and being the centre of attention.  If your little one is over the age of 6 months it is REALLY common that they won't sit without mum.  This is a perfectly normal and an expected stage of their development so it's a really good idea to sit with your baby first so they can get to know me. 

Also, please please please, I would really appreciate if you don't use your cell phone to take photos while I'm working with your baby.  I know it's really tempting to capture every important milestone but its actually a huge distraction for your baby but also me because often parents will have their cell phone by my shoulder, and in the past I have bumped myself on the phone resulting in an injury for me and also an injury to the phone!.  Just let me interact with your baby and that way they will be looking into the camera, and not at you or your phone.  

​

What do the photos look like?
The galleries consist of both in class photos  and portrait type photos.  There is no pressure to purchase any photos at all if you don't wish

What happens once the photos are ready?
The photos are presented to you in a password protected online gallery.  Your teacher will send you a link which will enable you to view the gallery and make a purchase if you wish.

Absolutely no photos will be used online in any form without your consent first.  

Once the order date has passed, photos will be removed from the online gallery.  I do keep a back up of your photos but they are stored in external hard drives.

Photos are NEVER shared with anyone except you and the other members in your class.  If you have any concerns in regards to your photos and your privacy please let me know - I'm more than happy to accommodate where I can.

​How much are the photos?
Photos are $18.50 per digital file (no prints are available - you will need to do this yourself).  Once purchased they will be delivered to your inbox via a download link.  All files are delivered as high resolution photos enabling you to print to whatever size you choose.

I am really looking forward to meeting you in class very soon but in the mean time if you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact me :)
