These sessions are appropriate for clients looking for the complete service and a gorgeous collection to hang on their wall and share with their special people. These sessions include three appointments – firstly during the pre-planning session, we will spend time with you finding out about what is special and unique about your family and how we can best create artwork to reflect that. This is usually done over the phone and we like to really get a good understanding of how we can best meet your needs.
The portrait sitting lasts from 40 minutes to three hours depending on your needs and the age of family members. Sittings can involve multiple backgrounds and props, outfits and family groupings. We have an extensive wardrobe of cute newborn, baby, child and pregnancy outfits and props. The usage of these is included in your sitting fee.
After the session you will be invited back to the studio for your Design Consultation where we will design beautiful works to take pride-of-place in your home. While we offer fantastic value collections, we am also happy to design a package to suit your individual needs.
A large range of products including Art Prints, Fine Art Canvas, Custom Framing, Heirloom Albums, Woodblocks and digital products are available from Signature Sessions. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
Session Fee: $195 weekdays $250 weekends (up to six people). Please enquire for larger groups. Session fee is payable upon booking to secure your spot. Signature sessions are available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. As we only take on two sessions a week, please book early to avoid disappointment.

Our products
We offer gorgeous professionally printed and bound Heirloom Albums with all your favourite images in them. We love helping you select the best images to tell your story and designing up these gorgeous pieces of work.
The albums lay flat when opened and are sturdy enough to share with the little people in your life. They come in a range of sizes and design styles and are particularly great when you have too many favourites from your session to fit on the wall! Duplicates of your album make fantastic presents for grandparents.
Our beautiful Art Prints are printed on archival semi-gloss professional photographic paper. They come in a range of standard sizes and can also be created in sizes to suit your style and your home. We love them framed up in simple box frames and grouped together on a wall to tell the story of your family. Art prints can be purchased either framed or unframed.
We offer a range of beautiful and stylish frames to complete the look of your work. We are happy to assist you in choosing and we also love searching out or tailor-making the perfect frame to compliment your images and your decor from my framers’ extensive collection. Feel free to bring us pictures of areas in your home that you might want to put your finished works so we can assist you with colour and size choices.
Canvases are a fresh and funky way to display your images. They look particularly good when put together in collections on one wall. Not as bulky as frames, they are also great for placing on smaller walls to add a splash of colour and interest or using when you have limited wall space but want a decent sized image.
An exclusive product to Jo Frances Photography, these woodblocks are handmade in the Netherlands! These can be purchased as single blocks and or create a beautiful photo wall which can be added to for years to come!
Vouchers offer a fantastic way for friends and family to give their loved ones a gift that’ll last a lifetime.
We offer gift vouchers which can be made out for the value of your choice. These can be purchased online, or in person.
We also offer vouchers with various values.
