What to expect at a photo session?
Have you had your photos taken by a professional photographer before? Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds!
Family photo sesssions capture genuine and beautiful moments with your family, in a fun and relaxed experience. Don't wait too long to preserve these precious times - children grow up quickly, and now is the perfect time to capture your family's unique story.
HOw much is a family photo session?
When you book a photography session with me, your session fee of £99 reserves your chosen date.
After the session, I will create an online viewing gallery for you, where you can view your photos in the comfort of home and decide how many images you would like to buy and keep.
Digital image packages start from £149 for your 5 favourite images, including editing and a license to print and share as much as you want. I can also make your photos into finished artworks, with framed prints and canvases for the walls and photo books for the coffee table.
Please download my family photo guide to see the full price list for digital image packages and art prints.

Where can I have my photo session?
I'm based in Ruislip, I photograph locally in Hillingdon, Harrow, Uxbridge and Ealing and also in London, Buckinghamshire, and surrounding counties.
I bring the photography to you. You can choose to have pictures cosy at home, in your favourite local park, exploring the buzz of the city, in a vast majestic landscape, or surprise me with somewhere new to explore!
How do I book my photo session?
To book your photo session please send me a message! I'll share my on-line availability calendar to you to select your date, and you reserve by paying the session fee.
Do you have a photography studio?
No, I don't have a studio, as all my family photo sessions take place either in the comfort of your own home, or at your favourite outdoor location. This makes them unique to you, to capture the magic of your family, your way.
How long is a photo session?
My photo sessions are usually one hour for a family session with a wide variety of photos. For newborns we'll do about an hour of photos but allow more time for breaks in between for marathon feeding sessions etc!
Extra hours can be added for family events or simply a longer family session in a couple of locations.

What's the best age to get my newborn or older baby photographed?
I photograph babies at all ages. In the first couple of weeks newborns are (usually!) sleepy and small, a few weeks later and they may sleep less but have beautiful wide open eyes to photography. Don't worry if you have missed the first few weeks, your baby is never too old to have their first photo session! See more about all the stages to capture in the first year on the blog.
Who can I include in the photo session?
I love included extended family in your photoshoot! So do invite the grandparents, bring the pets along, and make it a real family occasion. I can also cover parties and special events, get in touch for a chat.
Do you bring props for a newborn session?
My photographic approach is natural lifestyle for all ages, so for newborns we go with baby relaxing in their home environment. And there is so much to capture at home, we don’t need any gimmicks to make baby the star of the show!
Can you photograph families with special needs?
It is my passion to provide a photo adventure that is tailored just to you and your family.
If your kids or others in the family have special needs lets talk and I can make whatever adjustments are necessary for your family to have a fun being photographed, and capture their real characters.

I booked an outdoor photo session, what about the weather?
For outdoor sessions we do have to sometimes take into account the Great British weather! I will shoot in anything but pouring rain, so if it is just a bit grey we can still have fun.
If the forecast is looking really wet I will discuss options with you and either the day before or on the day we can decide to reschedule, or relocate if there is any suitable alternative eg your home.
What if the kids are ill?
I understand that children do get ill, and we are not going to get the best photos if your child is not well. Generally if your child is ill enough that they wouldn't go to school or nursery, then we should reschedule to a better day. Please let me know with as much notice as possible if your child is too ill - a phone call please if it is last minute.
What if my kid has a scratched face?
Don't worry, I can usually apply the magic of photoshop during editing to remove those temporary childhood injuries, should you choose to!
