What happens now?

Pre-Shoot

Once you have been in touch, we will set up a chat about the package you are interested in, what day to pencil into the diary, and how you go about booking. After you have signed your contract and paid your session fee, your date is confirmed in my diary.

As your session date approaches we will be in touch again to confirm the time and location of the shoot; you can let me know if there are any particular images you would like me to try to capture; any expectations you have for the session; if you have any questions about what to wear and any other questions either of us may have.

During the Session

When I arrive at the agreed upon location, I will spend a bit of time looking around at the various lighting situations and getting to know your family before I pull out my camera. Depending on the type of shoot you have booked, I will start to document your family in an authentic and natural manner. I will offer advise on activities as needed and will gently pose you for some portraits as well if that is part of your expectations for the session. I will be capturing your life as authentically as possible, so don’t shove everything into cupboards or tidy away all the bits that make your house a home. It is helpful to have extra clutter put away and the dishes put away if we will be taking photos in the kitchen.

Once I leave

I will go through all of your images one by one to select the best ones to carefully edit to bring out the sparkle in your beautiful photos. This process takes many hours as I ensure that your photos are the best they can be before I deliver them to a secure, online viewing gallery within 3 weeks of your photo shoot. Depending on the package you choose, will have at least 40 images in this gallery that you can enjoy, add to favourites, select which to download, and if you would like to purchase more images.

Once you have your online gallery

You will have 30 days from the time you receive your order to download your package images and to decide if you would like to order any additional images or have any images printed through your gallery with a professional print lab.

After this time, the photos will be archived and can be retrieved for a nominal administrative fee of £25.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
