INDIVIDUAL portraits

Kim's first love is people and portraiture from Glamorous fashion style imagery to the classic character portraiture. She has an exciting theatrical style of lighting her subject matter, that creates a timeless and impact dramatic interpretation of her subject.

Kim also enjoys seeing and experiencing the excitement of the transformation between the before and after shot.

We offer tailored made packages that suit your personality, they include:

  • Colour consultation
  • hair, make up and styling
  • location or a huge range of colourful backgrounds

COUPLES & FAMILIES

Would you love to have a family portrait that's not stuffy or old-fashioned?

Kim Tonelli can capture an authentic and interesting family portrait regardless of the look you're after, so why not preserve your family history for future generations to cherish and enjoy?

Have the whole family photographed throughout different stages of your lives together.

Preparation - What to Wear

Favourite clothes are best.  That way you'll feel comfortable and able to enjoy your photographic session.

Whilst the motto is to always ‘keep it simple', you can include different necklines.  Solid dark colours and layers work really well, however it's best to avoid stripes, spots and clothes with logos.

We will  recommend experienced  hairdressers and make up artists to complete your look.

Men are encouraged to shave before their portrait session to minimize any five o'clock shadows.   We provide you with a light face powder to reduce imperfections and face shine.

A haircut a week before your portrait session is best as freshly cut hair often looks unnatural.

Portraits

Children's laughter, spontaneity and joy are priceless - and our experienced photographers at Kim Tonelli Photography will capture these magical and fleeting moments.

We also love to have fun - so we make a special effort to ensure that the children we photograph enjoy themselves. That way, we tap the essence of their true personality, which is the best way to create an awesome, candid and unique portrait.

Preparation

Please allow an hour for your photographic session at a time that best suits your child. Ideally, we like children to be photographed at their pace, when they are well-rested and well fed. Plain simple clothing works best. Dress the children in what they enjoy wearing and what you like seeing them in, keeping in mind that the final portrait will be a treasured piece of art in your home.

"Working with Kim was a pleasure and a privilege, and both Poppy (my dog) and I had fun styling and participating in the photo shoot. The photos of Poppy are great, and really capture her personality and moods. I also love the photos of Poppy and me. The production and finishing of the photos is exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending Kim to other pet owners who want professional, unique and timeless images of their special pets."
