A lifestyle photoshoot is all about capturing those genuine, candid moments in the comfort of your own environment, whether it's your home, or a beautiful outdoor location.

It's less about posed, formal pictures and more about the authentic, heartfelt connections and interactions that happen naturally.

The raw emotions, smiles and giggles are all real, and the word 'cheese!' isn't uttered once. There is usually little interaction with the camera (although I will give you direction as and when you need it) letting even the personalities of the most shy members of the family shine through. ✨

Sometimes it takes children (and grown ups!) a little time of warm up to having their photo taken.

As an experienced photographer and fellow mum, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get a little giggle from them.

Having said that, I am a true believer that once they see the rest of the family joining in and having fun, they usually do the same out of fear of missing out!

Plus, many of the most cherished photographs are those of pure love and the natural connection between a child and those that they trust, rather than the cheesy smiley posed portraits.

If your photoshoot is planned to be outdoors and the photoshoot is likely to be a complete wash out, we will rearrange your session to an alternative date.

We will make a final decision a few hours before your photoshoot as the weather can change quickly.

That is a definite yes from me! If you have a dog and they are part of the family, then absolutely we will include them in many of the photos too.

If you have young children and a dog attending the photoshoot, (as they both tend to want to do their own thing!) I cannot guarantee that I will get a photo of the whole family plus the dog.

I will absolutely try my best but you may need to decide beforehand which is the focus of the photoshoot, the children or your dog.

Absolutely! If you have a location in mind that means something to you and your family, we will certainly do our best to have your photoshoot at this location.

Depending on the time of your photoshoot, your location may require some sort of 'open shade', but I will be giving you advice on this when we book your photoshoot.

I also have a location catalogue of all my favourite places to take family photoshoots which I can send you for you to choose from if you haven't a particular place in mind already.

You can book a family photoshoot at any time however I would recommend booking around 4-6 months beforehand to guarantee the time of year you would like, especially in the Summer months.

Yes absolutely! I know it can feel awkward having your photo taken at first but I will be there every step of the way giving you direction and showing you where to stand or sit for the best light. Although there will be so many moments for me to capture the pure and genuine emotions between you all, I will be giving you prompts to evoke laughter and lots of cuddles!

I require the full session fee & signed contract in order to get a provisional date booked and secured on my calendar. Your chosen photo package can be purchased following your photoshoot once you have received your gallery.

Yes! Definitely! Travel fees are applied if I'm travelling more than 20 miles from the area BN14, which is charged both ways.

I totally understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required.

I prioritise quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.

I highly recommend ordering prints through the professional printing lab that I work with, but it isn't required. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, so I always love to help with prints!

I have an online ordering store right within your gallery to purchase prints or albums which I am happy to help create for you with a selection of your favourite photos.
