Karen Allamby Photography

I don't like having my photo taken but Karen always puts me at ease and does a great job getting us to relax and smile in front of the camera without anyone feeling too 'posed' or uncomfortable.Karen shot our family portraits a few years ago and we recently went back for more to do a 20 minute mini session and some more quick family pics with Santa on the farm.Pricing is fair when taking props, set up and editing time into consideration.

Karen has created beautiful images and moments for our family to treasure! I especially love our black and white newborn images at home and the baby bump images she creatively mastered out in nature. Her gentle support and calm professional manner was very much appreciated, especially during our newborn session with another young child adapting to becoming a big sister and prior with me and my big baby belly needing to feel beautiful & strong. Karen’s passion empowers others, she reminds you of the value of these moments that otherwise may have been missed.

Cannot be happier with our experience with Karen, she was extremely professional, fun and made us feel so comfortable. We had such a great time with Karen, probably our favourite family photo session we’ve had. Our photos turned out better than we could of imagined, she was so patient with with kids and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

The photo session was great. However, the rest was not. We got a gallery of 16 photos and 6 were worth buying. Half of them you can see straight up my skirt. Maybe because my dad is a photographer and I'm used to being arranged and time taken to set up a photo I'm more picky on this. Pack options are 10 for $450 or the 6 I want at $85 each which works out more expensive. So we're walking away with just the 1 included Santa photo. It's nice to have them on the beach but we'll stick with shopping centre Santas in future as they're better value for money.We also tried to book a first birthday shoot in October but never received any communication after letting her know we could fit in around her schedule on the day she suggested.The contract advises 1 week to a preview and 2 weeks for images, it has taken almost a month to receive the photos.
