FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Absolutely. Degotardi Imagery is based in Mildura, but I’m always happy to travel for the right story.
Travel within Mildura and the surrounding area is included where specified. For sessions further afield, additional travel and accommodation costs may apply and will always be discussed with you before booking — no unexpected extras.
How long does it take to get our photos?
Good photographs deserve a little time.
Your final gallery will generally be delivered within 4–6 weeks, depending on the type of session. Weddings and larger celebrations may take a little longer, and your expected timeframe will always be confirmed when you book.
I don’t offer sneak peeks — I prefer to deliver your story when it’s complete.
Do you offer albums or prints?
I don't currently offer albums, but I believe photographs deserve to live somewhere beyond a screen.
If you'd like to turn your images into something tangible, I can guide you towards trusted local options for professional printing and custom framing, including Picture Parlour and Prints Charming here in Mildura.
I’m also happy to help you choose which photographs, sizes and finishes might work beautifully in your home.
WHAT IF I’M AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
You don’t need to know how to pose — that’s my job. I’ll gently guide you when needed, while leaving plenty of room for things to unfold naturally. You don’t need to perform for the camera. Come as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
Start by sending through an enquiry and telling me a little about what you have in mind. Once we’ve chosen the right collection and confirmed a date, I’ll send through everything you need to make it official. Your booking is secured once the required booking payment and agreement are completed.
CAN I CUSTOMISE A PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE?
Absolutely. My collections are designed as a starting point, not a set of rules. If you need additional time, another location or something a little different, tell me what you’re imagining and we can create something that suits you.
CAN WE CHOOSE THE LOCATION?
Of course. If you already have somewhere meaningful in mind, I’d love to hear about it. Otherwise, I can help suggest locations based on the light, season and feeling you’d like for your photographs.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
Not every beautiful photograph needs perfect weather. Clouds, wind and changing light can create some of my favourite images. If the weather becomes unsafe or genuinely unsuitable for your session, we’ll talk through our options and arrange another plan where necessary.
CAN WE BRING OUR CHILDREN OR PETS?
Absolutely — they’re part of your story too. Just let me know beforehand so we can choose a location and plan the session with everyone in mind.
DO WE GET TO CHOOSE OUR PHOTOS?
This one depends on how you want to run your packages. If your packages include a set number of images, I’d say:
“Once your gallery is ready, you’ll be able to choose the photographs included in your collection. If you fall in love with more, additional photographs or the full gallery can be purchased.”
WILL OUR PHOTOGRAPHS BE SHARED ONLINE?
I love sharing the photographs I create, but I also respect that some moments are private. How your images may be used will be outlined as part of the booking process, and you’re always welcome to talk to me about your preferences.
WHAT IF WE HAVE AN IDEA THAT DOESN’T FIT ONE OF YOUR COLLECTIONS?
Not every photograph needs to fit neatly into a category. If you have an idea, a person, a place or a moment you want to preserve, send it my way. Some of the most interesting photographs begin with something a little different.
