What It’s Like to Book a Photography Session With Me?

Booking a photography session can feel exciting and sometimes a little daunting. Whether you’re planning a family shoot, celebrating your pregnancy, updating your personal portraits, or booking a photo session just for you.

So, I thought I’d walk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect and can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

I’m based in Ross-on-Wye and photograph individuals, couples, families, maternity and boudoir sessions across Herefordshire and beyond. My approach is calm, relaxed, friendly and very much centred around you.

Everything starts with a message.

You can fill out the enquiry form on my website or send me an email directly. There’s no pressure and no obligation, just tell me a little about what you’re looking for, who the session is for, and roughly when you’re hoping to book.

I’ll get back to you and answer any questions and talk through your ideas. This is also a great time to let me know have something specific in mind.

Once you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send you a Booking form. This is designed to make everything really clear and easy.

Before your session, I’ll send you a short questionnaire. This is an important part of the process and helps me tailor the experience specifically to you.

I’ll ask things like:

  • Who will be taking part
  • What kind of images you’re drawn to
  • How you’d like to feel in your photos
  • Any worries or concerns you might have

This also helps me understand comfort levels and preferences, so everything feels respectful, empowering and enjoyable on the day.

The Session Itself – Relaxed & Enjoyable

This is where the magic happens. My sessions are relaxed, unrushed and guided, don’t worry you don’t need to know how to pose or worry about what to do. I’ll talk you through everything, offer gentle direction, and keep things natural and comfortable.

For families, this means letting things flow and capturing real connections.

For portraits, it’s about bringing out your personality.

For maternity and boudoir, it’s about creating images that feel confident, beautiful and true to you.

Once your session is complete, I’ll carefully edit your images and prepare your private online gallery. You’ll receive a link where you can view your photos in your own time, from the comfort of home.

From there, you’ll be able to:

  • View your finished images
  • Select your favourites
  • Choose any additional products or downloads

I’ll always be happy to help you if you need it choosing or have questions.
