frequently asked questions
01. WHAT TYPE OF SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?
01. WHAT TYPE OF SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?
I offer sessions suitable for children, teenagers, families and friends, including family celebrations.
I also offer mini sessions throughout the year.
My sessions usually take place at a favourite location. I have lots of fun ideas if you’re stuck with this! Do get in touch.
02. Do you have a photography studio?
02. DO YOU HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO?
I don’t have a studio. I prefer to work outdoors or on location (which helps to give your session a fun feel – and makes for gorgeous, natural photos).
I work in and around Gloucester, Cheltenham, the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and the South West. (Or we can discuss me travelling further.)
If you’re having a celebration at a venue, I’d be delighted to meet you there to capture those precious memories for you. Let’s chat.
03. How long will my photography session last?
03. HOW LONG WILL MY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION LAST?
Please allow around 90 minutes. Little people sometimes have limited attention spans and I want everyone to enjoy our time together.
04. WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
04. WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
Great question! First of all, wear something that you feel comfy in.
Layers work really well. For your family photoshoot, try to avoid being too ‘matchy.’ Choose a staple colour and try to have everyone wearing something in that colour so you complement each other. It’s best to avoid logos or characters.
Have a look through the galleries on this page to get an idea of what looks great.
05. What happens if my children don’t seem in the mood for family photos?
05. WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILDREN DON’T SEEM IN THE MOOD FOR FAMILY PHOTOS?
Please, please don’t worry! I have 2 children myself so I am used to children having moments. The best thing about working outdoors is that children can relax and be themselves. This will allow me to capture those natural moments – I promise.
06. CAN I BRING MY DOG WITH ME?
06. CAN I BRING MY DOG WITH ME?
Most certainly! I’m a pet person too. My sessions often involve people’s dogs, horses, alpacas ... They’re very welcome and can be an important part of the family.
Just let me know in advance so I can pick the best location and pack a few treats!
07. What happens if the weather isn’t great?
07. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER ISN’T GREAT?
If I decide on the day of the photoshoot that the weather is unsuitable, then of course we can reschedule.
But don’t worry if we don’t have brilliant sunshine! I’ve done family photoshoots in the snow, drizzle and cold before and have still captured some beautiful photos.
An overcast day is absolutely fine (and is actually the most flattering light to shoot in!)
08. If my child is ill on the day, can I reschedule?
08. IF MY CHILD IS ILL ON THE DAY, CAN I RESCHEDULE?
Yes, of course. A poorly little one doesn’t make for smiley photos!
I’m happy to reschedule your session to another date at no extra cost.
Please do try and give me as much notice as possible.
09. WHEN DO I PAY?
09. WHEN DO I PAY?
There’s a £90 booking fee which is payable when you book your session. Following your session, you can then choose whichever collections or products suit you. Payment for products is required when you order.
10. When will I see my images?
10.WHEN WILL I SEE MY IMAGES?
Around 2 weeks after your session (sooner if I can!) I’ll email you a link to a pass.word protected gallery of the final images.
The gallery remains online for 21 days to allow you to choose
11. Do you share images on social media?
11. DO YOU SHARE IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
If you’re happy with me sharing images online after you’ve seen them, just let me know. (I’ll send you an image consent form. I will never share your images unless you’ve completed this to say that I can.)
As a photographer it’s important for me to showcase my work – but I do understand that not everyone wants their family photoshoot popping up on social media.
12. Do you have a minimum spend?
12. I WOULD LOVE TO BOOK A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION WITH YOU, KATHRYN! WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
To ensure you get the best experience and service, I have a minimum spend of £250.
13. I would love to book a family photography session with you, Kathryn! What do I do next?

"Kathryn did a most wonderful job of capturing our extended family in a series of informal photos. She was sensitive to our requirements, and immediately put everyone at ease, from the one-year-old upwards. She demonstrated a great understanding of what works best, and took her time to ensure perfect results, and we are absolutely thrilled with these
