Be present
For me, there’s a lot of noise around family photography. In many ways it remains a bit of a mystery - there’s a lot of ‘but who does that’ and ‘how does that even work?’ And of course, there are more ‘what if’s’ than we can list in this opening paragraph.
Like everything in life, we interpret the idea of family photography in our own way, but for me it’s pretty simple - it’s about putting the connections we value most in the world front and centre. Whoever you call family, and however your family came together, my work is about writing you all into the story.
Family photography
it’s who we are
“It’s you, but on a really really great day. So much love for her work.”
My family sessions are about giving you a space to be together - literally, but also mentally. I’ve got you, and you don’t need to be anything but you. Once I had a review that said ‘it’s you, but on a really really great day” and it’s one of my favourite things to remember. It’s not always about looking great, it’s also about being able to feel like you can let your guard down and lean into letting me walk you through the process.
Who are family sessions for?
It’s simple. They're for families.
From newborns to great grandparents, the layers of family life weave in and out of our days and for me, the question that always lies at the heart of deciding to get family pictures is ‘if not now, then when?’ It’s a lot, family life, and often we can find ourselves pulled in more directions than we can count. As a mum, I’m all too familiar with the feeling of trying to be everywhere all at once, and sometimes we just need someone to take the load.
But how does it work?
When you enquire, the very first thing I’ll do is send you some example albums. That way you can see if my style works for your team.
Next we chat dates, locations and anything else you need from me. Dates are held with a £95 booking fee and a signed contract. I’m as flexible as I can be with families because I’m living it too.
A couple of days before I’ll check in with you, and with the weather, and we’ll firm up plans.
I keep sessions light hearted and easy. Speaking frankly, they’re at their absolute best when you take the pressure off and just let yourself be present. Give yourself a break and let me do the work.
Galleries are usually delivered within two weeks. You then have two weeks to select and pay for your chosen image package. You don’t pay for any photos until you’ve seen them.
What should we know before we book a family photography session?
Here’s a few frequently asked questions to get you started.
