Photography FAQ's:

Booking a session with me easy! Simply visit our website and fill out the contact form, and I’ll get back to you to schedule your session.

My sessions can take place either in our studio or at an outdoor location of your choice. I also offer in-home sessions for added convenience.

Yes, I offer gift vouchers for all our photography services. It’s the perfect gift for expecting parents, families, or anyone looking to capture special moments.

The best time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks after birth when babies are sleepier and more flexible for posing.

I recommend bringing any special blankets, outfits, or props you’d like to include in the photos. I also have a selection of props available in our studio.

Newborn sessions typically last between 2-3 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing those precious moments.

I recommend coordinating but not matching outfits, and choosing clothing that reflects your family’s style and personality.

Family sessions typically last around 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the family and the location of the shoot.

The best time for a maternity session is usually around 28-32 weeks, when your bump is nicely rounded but you’re still feeling comfortable.

Absolutely! I encourage partners and siblings to join the session to capture the excitement and anticipation of welcoming a new addition to the family.

I have a selection of beautiful outdoor locations to choose from, or I can also do the session in our studio for a more intimate setting.

My biggest tip is to find something you feel amazing in.
Pair together complementary colours, use muted tones.
Anything with movement looks amazing, so think dresses, flowing tops etc.
You will receive my Style Guide once your session has been scheduled.

It usually takes up to 3 weeks from your session however I always endeavour to have them to you as soon as possible. If for some reason this timeframe will be longer, I will advise you of the circumstances.

I keep a close eye on the radar the day before your session and also the day of your session. If it looks like the weather has set it, I will suggest we reschedule. I will keep contact along the way so you will never feel unsure of what is happening.

If you or your babies are sick I am more than happy to postpone the session to another day. Same goes for me. Just please give me 24 hours notice if you can. There is no fee to reschedule your session.

Currently my packages are priced for immediate family only. However, If you would like to have an extended family session, please shoot me through an enquiry and we can chat further.

I understand that some of my packages can be a big outlay at one time. With this in mind, I am happy to offer payment plans. Just get in touch and I will work something out.
