Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What sort of photography do you do?

I specialise in natural style portrait, maternity, and family photography, creating relaxed images that feel genuine and timeless. The photographs we create can be deeply personal, fun and expressive, professional for business use, or simply focused on capturing the people you love most.

My work is about showing the true you in a beautiful, honest way and helping you feel confident in your own authentic beauty. Every session is calm, unhurried, and centred around who you are.

If there’s a particular style, idea, or creative direction you’d like to explore, just let me know — I’d love to create it with you.

Is my home suitable for having photos in?

Absolutely, we can create lovely photos in small or large spaces and I carry a range of backdrops and props that we can use for the photos.
And don't worry, I have three children, I know what homes that are lived in can be like.
If you want to we can even do photos outside in your garden.
But, if you're really not sure then get in touch and we'll work out a good location.

Can we do an outdoor session?

Yes, we can certainly do outdoor sessions together, if there is a particular place that you want to have a session then just let me know.
Outdoor session can be great fun and provide opportunity for different images.

Is there anything on the shoot you don't do?

At the moment I work by myself so I am unable to provide hair and makeup.

What is a session with you like?

I aim to make your photo session as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. We’ll work through the ideas we discussed beforehand, taking the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and happy with the direction we’re going in.

It’s very common to hear, “I don’t like having my photo taken,” or “I don’t know how to pose.” That’s where I come in. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session, helping you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease, so we can create natural, beautiful images that truly feel like you.

What is the full process like?

If you'd like a session then I'll send you a welcome PDF with all the information on sessions, what to wear, prices etc. I'll also send a contract for you to fill out and send back with a deposit to get the date set.
We can then all look forward to the session.
After the session I'll send you a link to your private online gallery where you can view and select your photos.

Can I order more photos or have a custom package?

Yes you can, sessions include 10 images, the rest of the photos taken on the session are then available for purchase.
If you like what you see, but want something a little different to my standard sessions then yes, please do just get in touch and we can discuss what you'd like.

Custom packages and day rates are available particularly if you require a different service like e-commerce or business headshots. Please do get in touch to discuss this.
