Frequently Asked Questions

What to wear for your session

Choosing what to wear can feel like a big decision - but don't worry! Here are some tips!

Keep it natural

Neutrals and earthy tones always photograph beautifully. They blend seamlessly with natural settings and bring a timeless, soft feel to your images

Say no to loud prints

Avoid large, bold patterns or logos - they tend to steal the spotlight and take attention away from your beautiful face. Subtle prints or solid colours are always safer

Coordinate, don’t match

For family sessions, choose one or two feature colours and build around them. Think soft, complementary tones rather than everyone in the exact same outfit - it creates a cohesive look

Bring on the texture and movement

Flowy dresses, linen shirts, chunky knits, or gauzy fabrics catch the light and wind in magical ways. Texture adds visual interest and movement brings life to your photos.

Accessorise thoughtfully

Hats, scarves, wraps, or even a simple bouquet can add a beautiful touch—just make sure they don’t overwhelm the outfit or take focus away from faces.

Dress for the season

Layers work wonders in autumn and winter - they add depth and let you peel off or bundle up as needed. In warmer weather, light breathable fabrics will keep you comfortable and carefree.

When will we get our photos back?

 

 

Your final gallery will be ready within 2 - 3 weeks. I carefully hand-edit each image to bring out the best in every frame, and I want to make sure you love the result

Do you offer prints or albums?

 

 

Yes! Once your gallery is delivered, you’ll have access to professional-quality prints, wall art, and album options right from your gallery. They’re beautiful keepsakes and make great gifts too.

What if it rains?

 

 

We’ll keep a close eye on the weather in the lead-up to your session. If the forecast isn’t on our side, we’ll reschedule to a new date at no extra charge.

 

 

Where will the shoot take place?

 

 

I love shooting in natural, outdoor locations with beautiful light! I have a list of stunning beaches, parks, and hidden gems that photograph beautifully, but I’m always open to your suggestions too. If there’s a special spot that means something to your family, let’s go there!

What if my children don't cooperate

 

 

Having two of my own, I find this totally okay and completely normal. I take a relaxed, playful approach to sessions with children.  I also know how to work with neurodivergent children.  We’ll have fun, take breaks when needed and I have a few tricks to keep children engaged for photos.
