FAQs

Fine Art

  • Please reach out through the contact form with your ideas. You can share with me any photos or reference materials you have, and I’ll carefully review them to choose the best options for your painting.

    Typically, the process takes 1 to 2 months, allowing the oil paint to be touch dry. Once I’ve assessed your materials and understood your vision, I’ll provide a detailed quote and an estimated completion date.

  • The starting price is $350 for an unframed 150 x 200 oil painting, including GST.

    The price may vary based on the size, surface and the complexity of the subject.

  • I use high-quality artist materials to ensure that your piece lasts for years to come. This includes premium paints and carefully prepped surfaces.

    All finished pieces are varnished to protect them from dust and UV light, enhancing their longevity and preserving their vibrancy.

  • Consider the space where the painting will be displayed, as well as the scale and subject matter of the artwork. Larger paintings can make a bold statement, while smaller pieces might be better suited for intimate spaces. If you’re unsure, I can provide recommendations based on your space and preferences.

  • To keep your painting looking its best, display it in a well-lit area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Regularly dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals. If you have any specific questions about care or maintenance, feel free to ask!

  • I do not provide framing services for commissioned paintings. However, I can recommend trusted framers who can help you select and add the perfect frame for your artwork.

Photography

  • To book a photo session, please contact me via the this form with your preferred date and any specific requirements.

    I’ll confirm availability and provide details on the next steps.

  • A mini photo session lasts for 45 minutes and includes the delivery of up to 25 professionally edited photos. This session is perfect for family photos, website shots, pre-wedding moments, maternity, and more.

    The cost is $380 + GST. If you wish to receive more than the included 25 photos, additional images can be added at $20 + GST each.

    Travel fees are included within Auckland CBD. Outside of this area, additional travel fees may apply.

  • Typically, you can expect to receive your edited photos within 1 to 2 weeks after the session. I’ll send you a link to view and download your images once they’re ready.

  • During the editing process, I select and enhance the best photos from the session to ensure you receive high-quality images.

    If you have specific changes or adjustments, additional rounds of edits will be billed separately.

  • To get the most out of your photo session, think about the kind of shots you want and any specific themes. Bring along any props or outfits you’d like to use.

    I recommend sharing a Pinterest board with me to give me a clearer idea of your and preferences.
