Booking a portrait photography session with us is really simple, fun and rewarding. Have a look at the kind of images we produce, if that is what you like then it simply a matter of requesting a booking form. A Photographer from our studio will contact you about a session time and discuss a location. This is also a great time to discuss what portrait requirements you have for your home, whether it be an wall portrait, or an lifestyle album. For general portrait information please read on.

Here are some of the facts that make us one of Australia’s thriving and evolving studios.

On location portrait in the wheatbelt region

1. All our sessions are outdoors, using natural light and occasionally a bit of flash to brighten things up.

2. Location and timing are so important, and we provide our expert guidance to ensure that the results you are after can be produced. We will also give you a guide on what to wear to your portrait session.

3. After the photography session, a image viewing session will take place This can be done in the comfort of your home where we can find the perfect sized print for your wall. Your images are normally ready within 2 weeks time to preview, but we also like to give you a sneak preview on facebook before the full viewing. Our viewing session is totally interactive and non pushy. That means you can explore all the options to displaying your treasured images in total comfort.

4. Our main objective is to produce a stunning collection for you and present it in the most amazing way. Our quality products are reasonably priced and we also offer flexi-payment options to suit your budget. Because quality means a lot to us, we won’t be giving away cheap tacky CD’s of images. If that is what you are after, then we are probably not the right choice for you this time.

5. We do travel and more than you might think. Many of our bookings come outside of the Swan Valley region we are based. Why? because we offer a unique style of portrait photography, with flexibility and a range of stunning presentations. During the summer months the beach portrait session is very popular and later in the year when its a bit cooler, the rural and bush settings are more preferred . Each year we travel to our country regional zones which include Kalgoorlie, Bunbury, Mandurah to list a few to offer our country friends the same opportunity as our city folk. We could be just around the corner from you soon, and if you would like us to come to your town, let us know as we are happy to explore.

6. Once you have placed your order, we place your images online for your family to share too. Although we only have it here for a short time, our archival system allows us to recall your images further down the track.

7. We offer several unique products and services that you will only find here. Our unique products include personalized “Life Book” which is a documentary style photo book of your families life. These are custom designed to your tastes. This differs from the customized coffee table book or portrait album we do. Please CONTACT US for a proper consultation. We also produce HD video presentations in a documentary style. Please see our NEW LIFE session below.

Portrait style guide

Family portrait style guide – What to wear?

Many people booking a portrait session ask the very same question – What do we wear? These handy hints for a better portrait session should give you some ideas on how to get your portrait style guide right for your family portrait.

Rule Number 1 – The unbroken rule

The number 1 rule when preparing for a portrait is to ensure everyone is comfortable in what they are wearing, or they will not enjoy the session. Here are some handy hints on what to wear are below. (This portrait style guide has been prepared by a professional photographer who has photographed over 1000 portraits in a 15+year career behind the camera.)

Hint number 1. When choosing appropriate clothing for your portraits consider that clothing should compliment and not dominate the portrait. To prevent overpowering the people in the portrait bold patterns, stripes and distinctive logos should be avoided. Solid colours, subtle prints and classic casual clothing are always complimentary.

Hint number 2. For a visual balance for a family portrait it is better to have everyone dressed in the same tones or colour themes. For example having everyone dressed in light or all in dark or all neutral tones.This does not necessarily mean that everyone must have matching outfits, rather dressed in clothing that has similar tonal range. Following this as a guideline will provide more pleasing and visually balanced portrait, where no individual family member will stand out.

Hint number 3. The next steps are deciding on a colour theme either lights, darks or neutrals and whether everyone will dress formally, semi-formal or casually. Remembering again that everyone needs to feel comfortable.

Once you have booked a portrait session, we will send you out a comprehensive guide (or you can download it here) on what to wear including appropriate colour themes, styles, makeup, glasses and props.

Family Investments

Family Investments in portraits

We consider your family portrait to be one of the most precious life long family investments. Professional portraits are more than just a photo. An image created by Dezire Studios will tell the story of a moment in your families life and preserve and share that memory for many years to come. Our portraits are not just photographs, they are personal, intimate captures of who you are and what your family means to each other.

Professional Guarantee

One of the benefits of coming to a professional studio is that we guarantee our finished work. Your final presentation will be superbly finished and only reproduced using quality professional photographic paper and archival quality canvases on our professional printers. These specially coated images will have an archival life of 75+ years. Our wall print range begins from an affordable cost of $425 up to $835. We offer a full service of framing, canvas mounting as well as modern finishing on aluminum and acrylic. our range of products includes custom handcrafted albums from $995. Complimenting your wall art we offer studio prints from $55.

Print or Digital

Many photographers around are offering Digital Files on CD. Although this may seem like a good deal, most people do not get around to printing them and when they do they are often not as happy with the results as they have supplemented expert retouching and professional printing methods with cheap papers and inks often used by mini-labs.

When it comes to your investment we do not take shortcuts by giving away substandard images on CD. After all it is our reputation as well. For those wishing to share their images online, we do share the retouched images from your order on facebook and onto our blog, so your family can also share the enjoyment of your experience. We do also offer the option of purchasing a number of retouched images on CD, but we price them accordingly as they come profiled and with instruction to print at a specialized photo lab.

“One of a kind” fine art family portraiture

Our specialty is producing beautiful wall portraiture and “one of a kind” fine art collections that will become the longest lasting furniture in your home. As a guide to what kind of investment you might make, $500 will give you a neat intimate series of prints to take home, while a complete collection of framed wall prints will be around $3000. We understand everyone is different and therefore there is no minimum purchase value required other than the minimum commitment to a wall print or designer album. For those who value superb quality without the financial burden, we offer flexible payment plan options.

New year portraits:

Well its been a super flat out end of the year and beginning to the new year. So much has happened, so many stories to tell, so many images to share, and so many blogs to catch up on. After a couple of huge months, it time to have a break and I’m just about to take a break with my wife to Bali. Its not purely holiday though as I’m going to be checking out some locations for some upcoming photographic workshops. So stay tuned. But it is a great time to get some new year portraits. The weather is lovely, we have hardly had any rain (Which is a little sad for the Farmers, but really good if you are a professional photographer.)

To finish off I’m just sharing a few pics from an album from a new year portraits special done for a lovely couple who have just become engaged. They also printed some beautiful canvas prints to put in their new home,

Precious family portrait

Last night I had the honor of taking some precious family portraits on the Beach at Ocean reef. As the sun began to go down and the light became glorious and perfect for portraits, A couple of little princess’s got to run around and have some fun with the wind blowing back their hair and their grins from ear to ear. They had a magic little experience and of course Mum and dad were right there to enjoy the moment. Shooting family photographs down on the beach is a a wonderful thing, but the timing is the key. Come too early and the light is harsh and bright, making it hard for the family to look around without being blinded. Location and timing are super important to getting the right look and level of comfort during the experience. On our blog there is information to help you decide what is the best time and location for you, and a couple of samples to help you decide. Here is the link to that post. This little sneek preview from the portrait session, is just a little taste of some of the stunning and amazing natural portraits taken on the night. With the beautiful summer light coming into action, now is the time to book your own portrait. The best way to do that with us is to see where we are shooting and be first in best dressed with the dates, times and locations available. Here is the Link to our booking page.
