Gold Coast School Formals

I regularly work with students from All Saints Anglican School, St Hilda's, TSS, Hillcrest Christian College, Palm Beach Currumbin State High School and many others across the Gold Coast. Sessions are relaxed and quick — nobody wants an hour of posing before a night out.

How a pre-formal session works

Most sessions happen at a family home or waterfront location, usually across one to two hours — candids as people arrive, individual and couple portraits, then the group shot before everyone heads off. Tell me who needs to be in which photo and I'll work from that list rather than asking on the day.
