Frequently asked questions
What should we wear to our session?
Keep it simple and comfortable. Soft, neutral tones like white, cream, beige work beautifully and won’t distract from the emotion of the moment. Avoid bold logos , heavy patterns and dark clothing, we want the focus to be on you, not your clothes. If you'd like help, I can help with this and I also have a selection of clothes at the studio that you are welcome to use.
Do you provide props or outfits?
Yes, I have a selection of toys, number balloons, and neutral items of clothes for different age ranges. Message me with sizes prior to your session and I can show you what I have.
How long will our session last?
Every session is gently paced and completely baby or child-led, most sessions take around 1-1.5 hours, for Newborn I will book out unto 3 hours to allow for feeds, cuddles and calm.
When is the best time to book a newborn session?
Ideally, book during your pregnancy. I will pencil in your due date and confirm once baby arrives. The best time to photograph newborns is within the first 2 weeks, when they’re still curled and sleepy. Although, any age is still lovely.
What if my toddler doesn’t sit still?
That’s completely okay and totally expected! I don’t aim for perfect poses. The magic is in the movement, the energy, the in-between moments. We’ll follow their lead and keep it fun, relaxed and pressure-free.
Can my partner or older children be included?
Absolutely. These sessions are about your whole story. Partners, siblings, and even well behaved clean pets are welcome (just let me know in advance).
What if we’re camera shy?
Most people are, you’re not alone. My sessions are relaxed and friendly, with lots of space to just be yourselves. No forced smiles, no awkward posing and I will always try to make the time fun and carefree.
What happens after the session?
You’ll receive a private online gallery within 2 weeks to view and choose your favourite images for me to edit. You will then receive the edited versions ready for digital download within a week of choosing them.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes. Photoshoot sessions can make a beautiful and thoughtful gift for new parents, birthdays or baby showers. They are digital, and can either be send to yourself or directly to the recipient.
