Thank you for your enquiry. You have taken a brave step, and are probably feeling a bit anxious, so I want to welcome you to the Captured by Kirri experience.
I want you to have a feel for how I work, and what you can expect.
Firstly though ... there are some things I would like you to know about me and my philosophy … then I will take you through the process.
You are more than “just a session” to me ...
I never want to just “get it done”.
If the weather isn't right, I'd rather reschedule. If it’s too hard, let’s make it easy.
Because the experience matters - not just the outcome.
You are my priority …
Photography happens in real life - with real people, real emotions, real energy, and real variables.
Whether I'm photographing a family or a business owner, my focus is always the people in front of my camera - not the schedule, not the shot list, and not the clock.
“From the moment we arrived, Kirri made us feel calm and relaxed. Nothing felt forced.”
- Sharon Capizzi
Before your session …
-
I like to do a quick 10 minute Zoom call to see how I can help them.
-
If we are a good fit to work together, we then do a 45 minute Zoom call which is a guided conversation to uncover what you would love your portraits to feel like and achieve.
-
This is where I walk you through your personalised plan and we secure your session date and location.
-
This is a Zoom session where we go through your session, for families where I meet the kids and share ideas. For branding, this is where we go through what outfits work for what portraits/stories we are going to tell.
-
On the day of your photoshoot, my focus is creating an experience that feels relaxed, guided and natural with the added bonus of gorgeous portraits that we have planned.
Prepare for fun and laughter …
“Kirri has a real talent for making you feel at ease in front of the camera, and she takes the time to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.”
— Tracey Graham
After your session …
-
After your session, I’ll select and edit your portraits to have a gorgeous collection for you to go through. We will meet on Zoom for your Gallery Consultation where you will select your images and be guided on how to use them.
-
Your selected images will have full professional retouching performed to ensure you are proud to use every single portrait in your collection.
-
Your final images will be delivered to you via a private online gallery. You can download your high resolution images as many times as you like and share them with your tribe.
-
Every portrait is now something you will treasure and use. Family portraits - I encourage you to print, hang and dislay your family portraits proudly. Branding portraits - integrate them into your website, email signature, business cards, social media profiles and posts to increase your credibility.
“I felt completely supported the entire time, and the experience was far easier than I expected.”
- Heinna Reyes
From the heart is how I approach photography.
For families, it creates space for connection and genuine moments. For business owners, it creates images that feel professional, natural, and aligned.
The care, patience, and intention are the same — every time.
Every photography session is as memorable to me, as it is to you. I hold your story in my images, and in my heart.
My philosophy …
“Several experiences to remember and cherish - family photos, corporate photos, branding images ... each time the shoot was more fun than the last.
Kirri has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, and nothing ever feels rushed or forced. She takes the time to understand what you need and works with you to create images that truly reflect who you are.
Thank you Kirri - I’ve diarised to make this a regular event so we always haveup-to-date, current photos to remember our family and update our business brand and marketing.”
