Money is tight, do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely yes! Money is sometimes tight, thats life, especially if you are welcoming a new addition into the household or you are about to go on maternity leave (which lets face it is most of my clients). This shouldn’t stop you from having beautiful photographs of this really special time in your life though. I offer payment plans with all packages including mini-shoots. We can break your session fee up into more manageable payments, spreading the cost over 4 or 5 monthly interest free payments. Just ask when you enquire.

When?

I normally offer outdoor sessions at sunrise and sunset, the light is soft and dreamy and it.will.make.your.photographs, trust me. It’s honestly so worth the early morning alarm or one off late bedtime, think of it as an adventure. Photographs are quite literally paintings with light, so we really need to get that part spot on before anything else. If you really cannot stomach the thought of a late bedtime or an early morning, then we can discuss this, but unless its a really overcast day then the middle hours of the day are very unkind to photographs and I try to avoid them, especially in summer.

In home sessions can be done during any daylight hours, but I will normally suggest we book them in mid-morning.

What should I wear?

I send out a styling guide to all clients prior to our session, we can also discuss outfits during our zoom call and I am always happy to give my opinion on clothes you already have or are thinking of purchasing at any point during the process.

As a general rule I suggest wearing something in neutral or earthy tones. Try to avoid big patterns, logos’s and extremely bright colours. Try to think about incorporating interesting fabrics and textures, think knits, flowing dresses, linen, ribbed fabric etc. If you are a family, use complimentary colours, don’t try and match completely. If you are pregnant consider wearing something that opens down the middle so we can capture your beautiful bump. Or wear nothing? Just saying!

Where?

Well this one is kind of up to you. There are 3 options. I offer in-home sessions; I come to you and document you authentically in your own space amongst your personal things, great for newborn photography or intimate moherhood and breastfeeding photoshoots, or perhaps you just want to capture your family with your home as your backdrop? In-home “studio-style” sessions; with these I come to you but bring a simple neutral coloured back drop, perhaps some foliage if thats your bag and a light if needed - great for those who would like an in-home session but are worried about decor or clutter. Or you can have your photoshoot in a beautiful outdoor location and we can go on a wild adventure amongst the green and blue hues of nature. Some of you will have a clear idea of the location that would be your ideal backdrop i.e. rocky beach, wild sand dunes, rolling countryside or moody woodland. I have pre-chosen locations to suit most requests, but if you have somewhere specific or meaningful in mind then we can absolutely go there.
