The FAQ
Where do you cover?
I am based in Portsmouth, Hampshire and will shoot anywhere within a 30 mile radius. There are additional travel fees for further afield. I have a good bank of locations but happy to discuss any locations you also have in mind.
How do we book?
Pop me a message via my contact me page (make sure your contact details are correct) and we will go from there! We can chat via email, WhatsApp, zoom or phone call if you have questions before booking.
We then agree a date, I will send over a booking confirmation, contract and invoice. Once the contract is agreed and signed and deposit is paid you are booked in! Please note I cannot hold dates with out a deposit.
What if my children aren't into it?
Children are children! I am very child led and I have worked with children from the ages of 2 up to 18. Please do not worry about your children not wanting to play ball. We have more than enough time for tears, tantrums and then fun! I ask all clients to fill in a pre-shoot questionnaire where are able to give me the down low on your children's favourite songs, games etc. which aids me to build a rapport with them quickly.
How many photos do we get?
You will receive an online gallery of 30+ fully edited photographs to view, from which you will choose your 10 photographs that are included in your package. You also have an option to upgrade to the full gallery for an additional fee.
I don't know what to do in front of the camera.
Who does?! My style is capturing those natural moments. I will give you gentle guidance and prompts but my aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, whilst still being your natural self.
How long until we get our photos?
You will get a sneak peek of a few photos from your session within 72 hours. The full gallery has a turn around time of 3 weeks from the day of the shoot.
What should we wear?
Neutral, Neutral, Neutral! Think comfortable timeless and you! You don't want to look back at your photos in ten years time and wonder what on earth you were wearing! I offer 1:1 styling advice if needed/wanted for all clients.
What if it rains?
Rain? In the uk? Never!
A little rain never hurt anyone and can make for some epic moody skys. However if you have little ones or are a fair weather friend then we can reschedule to the next available date.
Do we need to bring anything?
If you would like to bring props; a cosy blanket, a cute wooden toy or anything else you have in mind, go ahead! Snacks and drinks are a must for children, so long as they are quick and mess free! Anything else to help keep the children happy or that will encourage them to take part in the session, bring it!
Does my photoshoot have to be outside?
Of course not! I am a huge lover of the outdoors however if its not your thing then I also offer in home photoshoots.
