You don’t need to!  I’ll gently guide you during the session, prompt movement or actions, and make sure you’re comfortable.  There won’t be any stiff, awkward poses and I’ll check you’re comfortable if I ask you to move in a particular way.  My aim is to make you feel so at ease that you can be yourselves and truly connect with each other.  When that’s the focus, movement is simple.

Absolutely do not worry.  Kids love me, and we’ll have a great time together!  I’ll never ask your child to look at the camera and smile, they’re free to be exactly how they are on the day.  Sessions with me are child-led to ensure they’re happy and comfortable, I’m yet to meet a child I didn’t win over!

Everyone is different, some clients find it difficult to articulate their thoughts, whereas others have a clear vision.  Either way, I’m here to listen and we’ll take our time to talk it through.  I have free journal prompts available to help you get in touch with your ideas, which can help draw out your thoughts.  I recommend using Pinterest for inspiration, I even set up shared Pinterest boards with my lovely clients.

Whatever you want!  Wear what makes you feel like you, whether that’s flowy, rugged, silky or edgy.  I’d recommend matching your outfits with the location and vibe of your session if you can, and coordinating tones as a couple or a family for cohesive images.

There’s absolutely no obligation for your children’s faces to be posted openly online.  I offer a Privacy Request for all sessions, which doesn’t affect your gallery in any way.  If you select a Privacy Request, I only use images showing the rear or side profile where their facial features aren’t visible, or I obscure their faces using cropping, blurring or any other appropriate method.

I don’t use AI to edit any images so it can’t obtain the faces of your children during the editing process.  All images are hand-edited by me only.

Unless your vision is The Notebook (I’m absolutely game for that), we’re likely to reschedule.  I’ll keep an eye on the weather forecast in the run up to the session and if it’s looking dodgy we can make a Plan B for an indoor location or reschedule the date.  Light rain showers are do-able, and if your kids love puddle splashing it can be adorable, I’ll be guided by you!

• Before booking, we’ll have a consultation, via video call, email, or voice notes if that’s easier, and we’ll get a date and time pencilled in.  I’ll then send over a contract for you to read through and sign when you’re happy.  Once I’ve received that I’ll send over a payment link for the deposit which secures your booking!

Of course!  Furry friends are always welcome.

I remove temporary blemishes, but I’ll never remove anything permanent that’s part of you, you are beautiful exactly as you are!  I also remove distractions from some images like people in the background or man-made objects (no one wants a bin on their wall, do they).
