frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Please allow around 90 minutes. Little people sometimes have limited attention spans and I want everyone to enjoy our time together.

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.

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.

 

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!

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!) 

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.

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.

 

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 

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. 

That’s so exciting! Thank you. Just press the ‘Let’s Book!’ button below to get in touch. We’ll sort everything out from there.

I can’t wait to meet you.
