YEY! IT’S BOOKED!
Thank you
Thank you for choosing me to capture these all important moments for you and your family.
It really means so much and I can’t wait to meet you.
What to wear?
Neutral, natural, earthy tones will create the most timeless images and these colours are best suited to my style of editing.
Keep it simple. No bold patterns, writing or logos. We want the focus to be entirely on you and your family. Coordinating tones look great together rather than everyone matching.
Client Wardrobe
I have a small selection of dresses for mum and clothes for babies / children which I’m happy to bring along for you to try. Choose one (or all!) of the dresses below and I’ll bring them with me on the day of your photo shoot.

Comfort is Key
Above all else, I want you to feel comfortable and confident on the day of your shoot. You should look back at your photos and feel like they are an authentic representation of you and your family. That might be dresses and full make up or jeans and au natural! So while these colours look great and edit well, these are your memories for life and so I encourage you to wear what makes you happy!
Your Baby
Your baby will dictate the speed and flow of the shoot. We have plenty of time to stop for cuddles, feeds and a change of outfit if needed.
Ideally baby will be asleep during the photoshoot so I recommend a good feed before I’m due to arrive to give us the best chance of a sleeping baby. Some babies are awake for the entire shoot and that’s absolutely fine too! We may be more limited on poses with an awake baby but we can still capture lots of cuddles with mum and dad and usually some pretty funny newborn facial expressions too!
If siblings are taking part in your photos, please don’t worry about them smiling or performing for the camera. If they’re not keen to be involved or are slow to warm up, that’s absolutely fine. There’s no pressure and nine times out of ten they’ll join in when they’re ready. I have a toddler myself so I’m all too familiar with strong willed little people and I really have no expectations of toddlers or small children during a photoshoot. My aim is to capture love, fun and genuine connection. Keeping the shoot light and pressure-free will result in the most authentic images. And if that fails, have plenty of snacks on hand to bribe with!
What if my house is a mess?
Please don’t worry about mess or clutter. If you have small children and a tidy home you’re definitely in the minority! (and please let me know how you do it!)
On the day of your shoot I’ll have a quick look around to find the rooms with the best light. I can easily move anything in the background that might be distracting.
In most cases we end up getting some really beautiful shots on the bed / in the bedroom so for that reason I recommend plain white bedsheets on the bed if possible. If white isn’t an option then and plain colour will photograph better than bold or bright patterns.
Our aim is to capture you and your family relaxed and happy at home.
What happens next?
I’ll be in touch closer to the date of your shoot to confirm an exact time (and location if applicable)
Approximately two weeks after your shoot, you’ll receive an email with a link to your private gallery containing approximately 60 - 100 hand edited images* From here you can view all images from our session and select your favourites.
You’ll also receive information and pricing for package upgrades and prints.
(*number of images varies depending on type of session and number of participants)
