last light sessions
the jetty might be closed, but there are still memories waiting to be made at port germein…
There’s something incredibly special about summer nights at Port Germein. The sun sinking below the horizon, the sky lighting up with colours, the warm and still air and the still pools of water reflecting the memories being made.
Every year, families have enjoyed Last Light Sessions – a fun and relaxed way to capture your family together all while making a memory.
No pressure, no fuss – just you, your people, and the kind of photographs that transport you back to that moment every time you look at them.
These sessions have been super popular and this year will only available when the weather is perfect (think warm, still evenings without a howling gale!).

Last Light Testimonials
-
Claire was an absolute delight to work with capturing our beautiful, big & chaotic family. Port Germein is a place that holds lots of memories for all of us but to have professional photos of that night to cherish forever is truly something special! Apart from the calming presence and guidance Claire would provide everyone you forgot there was a camera lense there, she just fit into the scene like our family! We all felt comfortable and relaxed (as much as you can with 5 kids) enjoying the beautiful evening together.

Our experience with Claire was fantastic, we had a lot of nerves but she made us feel comfortable and was great interacting with our daughter and was happy to follow her lead. Highly recommend Claire and her photos are amazing!

Our little family has been captured so beautifully by Claire each and every time we have organised a shoot! She is so wonderful and professional to deal with and she puts so much time, effort and pride into her work. She is amazing with young kids! We cannot get over how much of their cheeky little personalities she draws out so easily and captures so well.

FAQs
When will sessions be offered?
The Last Light Season runs from October - April during daylight savings time. Sessions will be available throughout the week, however only 3-5 days notice will be given for available dates to ensure that the weather is exactly as it should be for that perfect summer memory. Those on the waitlist will receive notification of available dates 24 hours before it’s shared on socials (if they’re not already snapped up!!).
Where & when do the sessions take place?
Last Light Sessions are held at Port Germein Beach. Sessions run for 45-60 minutes around the sunset time, so the exact start time of sessions will shift throughout the season.
How do I book a spot?
You will be able to book via an online link that is emailed out to the waitlist when dates are available. You will be able to choose your package and any pre-purchased upgrades, plus fill out your booking questionnaire all in one go!
What if the weather changes?
Dates will only be offered with roughly 3-5 days notice because these sessions depend on the perfect summer evening. However, there is always the risk that the weather forecast changes in the last 24 hours leading up to the session. If that happens and I feel that the conditions will not be favourable, you’ll get the option to move to the new date.
How many people can join a session?
Core Memories package: up to 8 people - great for immediate families and when you want to include a set of grandparents.
All the Memories package: no limit — perfect for big extended families or big groups of friends!
Can I upgrade to include all of my photos in the Core Memories package?
Yes you can, after your session you’ll receive a proof gallery where you can select your favourites, or choose to take them all home!
What should we wear?
Whatever you’re comfortable in! You can dress up or dress down, wear your bathers for authentic memory making, or make in an occasion and dress the fam up in nice clothes! A change of clothes and towel is always a good idea if you have small children who loveee getting messy!
I’m not all that keen on my family getting messy during the session, is that okay?
Yes of course, I fully understand that going home with half the beach isn’t something everyone is comfortable with. You can let me know in your booking questionnaire if you would prefer to stay dry.
Can we bring pets?
Yes! Furry family members are absolutely welcome! Just let me know in your booking questionnaire.
How much do sessions cost?
Core Memories: Session + 20 digitals (up to 8 people) - $549
All the Memories: Session + full gallery, no limit on people - $979
I love this idea, but I don’t love the beach. Can I book a sunset shoot at a different location?
Yes of course, my Core Memories & All the Memories packages are available at all sorts of locations. Click here to fill out a general enquiry form if you’d like to book a session in a different location for your family!
