Let’s have a chat about the best time for you to have a shoot and what session suits your needs. We can then pin down a date and talk about locations that work for your family.  

I work throughout the week, including weekends so there is a lot of choice available. If you have a young family, choose the optimum time in the day for them ie after a nap and when they are likely to be at their best. I aim to be flexible for newborn shoots as I know it’s difficult to keep to timings in the early days.

Shoot timings are also dictated by the light and I will suggest changes to timings so we can take advantage of the best possible light.

Once we’ve talked it through, so I know what you’re looking for, and decided a date, the booking will be confirmed on receipt of a 50% deposit. The balance is to be paid on the day of the shoot.

I’m a huge believer that a photograph is only a photograph when it is printed so all of my packages include fine art prints and digital images. 

All packages include a pre-shoot chat, a preparation guide and access to a secure online platform to view your images. If you are booking a Newborn shoot, then you receive some prep tips so we can take beautiful images within the comfort of your own home.

The Essential and Classic galleries are lightly edited and shared with you to select your favourites, and are then fully edited and available in high res format to download. 

The Signature package is fully edited and available to download straight away.

Digital images are available to view within 2 weeks. 

You will receive around 40-50 images to select from.

Depending on the package you have chosen, you can select what you wish to have as a digital image and what is printed.

Raw images are not available.

This is one of the most common questions I get asked ….. the detailed preparation guide provides guidance on what to wear (and what not to wear). 

My advice to all clients is to look your best self, if you’re a jeans and t-shirt kind of family, come as that, and if you want to step it up a little, go for it. These images are yours and you get to decide how you want to look.

If we give kids a little time to warm up, then they are usually happy to play along. My sessions are relaxed and free-flowing so children don’t feel like its a photoshoot. And, if a child is playing up, we simply take a couple of minutes out. Having a couple of boys myself, I’m quite used to being around children full of energy who want to play.

There is additional advice provided in the Preparation Guide, as well as preparing for an in home shoot.

If your children are young, please book your session around their routine. 

It’s perfectly natural to feel apprehensive in front of the camera; the vast majority of us do, probably no one more than me!

As I know how it feels, I always take my time to get to know you as a family and provide encouragement in front of the camera to help you feel relaxed.

We mix up  “stand, stare and smile” moments with more playful moments so there are not many opportunities to feel the nerves.

Many parents do feel like the session has been a bonding opportunity and find it enjoyable.

Yes, of course. You are welcome to upgrade your package to one that includes all the images or just select those ones that you love.

Each additional digital print is priced at £25 and I share a range of wall art options with you as well.

Images are edited as you can see here. I always take time to give your images that little glow-up but no more as it really matters to me that your images are a genuine reflection of you.
