Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — every image is mine, shot along the Sapphire Coast between Bermagui and Eden. These aren’t stock photos; they’re the beaches, lakes and headlands I walk past every day.

Each print is produced individually once you order it, rather than sitting in a warehouse. It’s made just for you, in the size and finish you choose. Because of that, prints are produced in limited runs — when a size sells out, it may not return.

Often, yes. If you need a particular size for a wall, or there’s a spot on the coast you love that you can’t see, send me a message and I’ll let you know what’s possible.

As a rough guide: 120cm looks beautiful above a sofa or bed, 90cm suits a hallway or bedroom wall, and 60cm is lovely in a study or reading nook. There’s a full size guide here, and if you’re between sizes, just ask — sizing is the thing people most often want a hand with.

Yes. My images are captured on professional high-resolution equipment, and I only offer each image in sizes it genuinely holds up at — if a photo isn’t suited to a very large format, that size simply won’t appear as an option. As a guide, larger pieces are made to be enjoyed from a step or two back, the way you’d naturally view art on a wall.

Very closely. Every screen displays colour a little differently — screens emit light, while a print reflects it — so there can be subtle natural variation between your monitor and the finished piece. I work on a calibrated screen and prepare every file specifically for print, so what arrives is a faithful match to the image you fell in love with.

Absolutely. Send me a photo of your wall if you like — I personally answer every enquiry and I’m happy to help you find the right piece and size. No obligation.

Fine-art mat prints, framed prints, canvas, and face-mounted acrylic — plus acrylic blocks for smaller spaces. The finish is shown on every product page.

Three, all made to order: white, oak, and black — chosen to suit coastal interiors and work across the whole range.

Your photograph is face-mounted to the back of a sheet of clear acrylic, giving incredible depth and a glossy, gallery-like finish — many people say it looks like a window onto the scene. It’s then mounted on a sturdy aluminium backing frame, which protects the piece and makes it easy to hang securely on your wall.

Because each piece is made to order and goes into production quickly, I can’t always change or cancel once it’s underway. If you need to adjust something, contact me as soon as possible and I’ll do my best — but please do check your size and finish carefully before ordering.

You’ll get a confirmation email as soon as you order, and a second email with tracking once your piece is finished and on its way. Most orders arrive within 10–16 days.

Yes — a selected range is on display at The Essence of Our Merimbula, 4 Merimbula Drive, Merimbula (opposite the Merimbula Post Office), so you’re welcome to come and see the quality in person. And if you’d like to collect an online order yourself, local pickup in Merimbula is available at checkout.

Shipping is free on all orders over $100. For orders under $100, shipping is calculated at checkout.

Australia-wide as standard. I can ship internationally by request — just get in touch before ordering and I’ll sort it out for you. Orders are produced locally to keep freight cost and delivery time down.

Please allow 10–16 days from order to arrival, with remote and regional areas (and any international orders) naturally taking a little longer. Please allow extra time during busy periods.

The courier will usually leave it somewhere safe, or leave a card with instructions to collect it from your local post office.

It’s rare, thanks to careful packaging, but if anything arrives damaged please send me a photo (with the packaging) within 48 hours of delivery and I’ll arrange a replacement straight away. Under Australian Consumer Law you’re always covered for items that arrive damaged, faulty, or not as described.

As each print is made to order especially for you, I’m generally unable to accept change-of-mind returns — so please ask any questions before you buy; I’m always happy to help. If you’re ever unhappy with the quality of what arrives, tell me, and I’ll make it right.

Yes — alongside the prints, I offer real estate, commercial, event, portrait and food photography, plus CASA-accredited drone/aerial work and video. See my Services page or get in touch for a quote.
