Casting Call

Posted on Mar 21, 2009
Baby Kate - Sydney and Adelaide Newborn Baby Photographer

I realise I have been pretty quite lately. The move to Adelaide was quite an undertaking and it also turned out to be rather more difficult than expected to secure daycare for Grace, so I really haven’t been in a position to get things moving again at Little Feet. But all my ducks are finally in a row now AND the Australian Professional Photography Awards are looming!

So with the combined goals of launching Little Feet in Adelaide, getting my creative juices flowing again (or should I say working off some of my longing to capture babies) and hopefully generating some fabulous new work to enter into the APPAs I am beyond excited to announce a casting call.

I have a bunch of ideas I would like to try out and I can’t always do that at a “normal session” (for fear of waking the baby) so here’s the deal:

Casting call sessions will :

  • Be complimentary and will still include the $150 print credit that is included with my standard session fee ($400). There is no obligation to purchase further prints or packages, however they may be purchased at regular rates, please see the pricing section of this website for details.
  • Be intended to capture a particular image or series I have in mind – so that will be the priority of the session, extra images will be captured where possible.
  • Require a model release.

Casting Calls sessions are currently available for:

  • Newborn Triplets
  • Breastfed Twins – babies do not need to be newborn
  • Dark skinned newborn, any ethnicity, preferably with older sibling/s
  • Newborn baby under 3kgs, father available for session
  • Newborn with Athletic Daddy – must not have long hair & must be happy to pose for skin to skin photos with baby
  • Older baby (approximately 8-12 weeks) – baby must be a good sleeper in general
  • Please note that all newborns must be less than 10 days old at the time of the session, preferrably 5-7 days old (or in their first week home from hospital in the case of prematurity, minimal NICU stay is preferable)

If you are interested in one of these sessions and believe your family would be suitable please email me: jo [at] littlefeetphotography [dot] com [dot] au.

Places are limited and will be offered purely at my discretion. Because I have very particular goals for these sessions, I may require a photo of baby or family members, or even of your home before I can offer a session. If you are not offered a session please don’t be offended – this is not a beauty contest it’s purely about making a portrait that I can already see in my head!

And finally – I will be spreading these sessions out over the coming months to leave room for clients wanting standard sessions, so I am looking for babies due in (very) late March, April, May and June.
