FAQ
How should we dress for our family session?
We will go through outfit suggestions on our pre-shoot zoom. I want you to feel comfortable and natural, but also for the images to feel harmonious. We don't want any lairy t-shirt slogans taking central stage over the honest moments of connection between your family.
Will you pose us and tell us what to do?
We will agree ahead of the shoot some fun things to engage in with your family based on what you love to do together. I will give some prompts to ensure I capture you all in the best light and make sure you don't feel awkward.
What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
I would reccomend any time from 4 months old.
What happens if the weather is really bad?
We have two options, we either roll with it and embrace it, perhaps concentrating the shoot in your family home rather than outside or we can rearrange for another, hopefully drier date.
Do we have to do the shoot in our home?
Your home is always my number 1 suggested location as its where you feel most comfortable and usually garners the most natural photos. I can work with mess as long as we have natural light and a willingness to embrace creativity! Alternatively we can head to the beach or I have some beautiful countryside on my doorstep that works well for family photographs.
What if my partner isn't into the whole photoshoot thing?
I completely understand that not everyone is into the photo thing. I would suggest a shoot with just you and your children or finding an alternative photographer. In order to get the photos you want, we need everyone to be fully engaged in the creative process. This is not a 'smile at the camera' situation.
How many pictures will we receive?
For a family shoot, expect 30-50 high res, individually edited images. For a motherhood or pregnancy session, expect 10-30 high res, individually edited images.
What if we need to cancel last minute?
I understand that life with kids is unpredictable. If for any reason you need to change the date, please let me know as soon as possible and we'll figure out an alternative.
Do we have to pay a deposit?
Yes, a 25% non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your shoot. If for any reason we need to change the date of your shoot last minute, your deposit will transfer to the new date. The remaining balance is due two days before your shoot.
