Here are links to some shoots we have done to date:

Some FAQs:

Thank you for inviting me. What is the point of this shoot? For your portfolio?

We don't organise shoots just for our portfolio. That is a definite by-product, though! If we simply wanted content for our portfolio, it would be a lot easier for us to line up some models, buy a gorgeous cake from any one of several amazing cake shops in Brisbane, grab some flowers from the markets, and head for some epic locations in and around Brisbane.

Researching, approaching, & explaining our shoot to potential vendors takes time. Liasing with vendors takes time. Managing the event takes time. Behind-the-scenes shots and individual content for vendors takes time. Culling and editing the images takes time. Unless stated otherwise, the purpose is always collaborative. You are committing your time, expertise and resources, too, after all. The shoot needs to work for you and your business, as well. We do it to network and get to know you and your stories. In turn, you get to know us. :-)

And together we make memorable images for everyone to enjoy!

What kind of turnaround can I expect?

During off-season, it takes up to 4 weeks to deliver the images.

During peak-season, up to 8 weeks. (We will notify all parties involved of the timeline during the planning process.)

If one of the purposes of the shoot is publication, we typically request up to six (6) months for submission.

Your thoughts on crediting and cross-referencing?

So, our personal thoughts are this: every single time we share content from a collaborative shoot on social media, we tag ALL vendors on Instagram and Facebook (look at our posts for examples). We also share a blog with images from the shoot and we list information about all the vendors with back-links to your websites (or social media if there is no website for your business).

Sure! We would love to join the team on this shoot. However, for you to have access to our venue, it will cost $1000. Let us know how you would like to proceed.

We would chat with the team. Transparency is very important to us. If everyone is in agreement that x venue is the only place to hold the shoot at or it is not worth going ahead as currently planned, we would split payments. However, out of fairness to all other parties who are covering their own costs, the venue will not be tagged or mentioned in any post (social, website - anywhere) where the images are shared. We will also not provide images to that vendor in order to be fair and reasonable to the other parties who are covering their own costs. It is one or the other: payment or exposure but not both (especially when the purpose of the shoot is fundamentally collaborative). This goes for any team member requesting payment (even partial).

I would love to join in, but I will need to post my items. If you could cover return postage, that would be great!

In a similar vein to the response directly above, ALL costs by each vendor are to be covered individually out of fairness to every other vendor participating out of their own time and pocket. Some vendors could reasonably argue that we should cover the cost of their fuel from the location. This way it is black and white and perfectly clear. Trade for print = all costs to be covered by each vendor individually.

Hello! I am <a> from company <x>. I would like to join in with a styled shoot. However, styled shoots are expensive for us, and so would you consider covering some of this cost?

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: just as you recognise that your time/expense/labour are valuable, Poppy & Sage Photography feel the same way. We could receive your invoice should you be willing to be sent one from Poppy & Sage Photography.

Hope to work with you soon!

P.S. We also enjoy showcasing local businesses on our blog. Please see below for examples. If you are interested, just let us know - no strings attached, of course. :)
