Frequently Asked Questions:

What should we wear and what shall I bring?

Come with hair and make-up done.

Clothing with logos or a busy design can be distracting. I recommend plain clothing; bring a couple of changes and if possible one item with texture eg chiffon, knit, lace. This looks great in black and white photos.

Long trousers or skirts are more flattering that short skirts and shorts.

These images are to last a lifetime so keep that in mind when selecting clothing and accessories. Small things like classic jewellery can make you piece timeless – the images are about you and not the latest trends.

Bring along an item/prop that especially precious or cute. For example a toy, fairy wings, costume outfits, rugby boots, brolly and wellies or a hobby item such as a musical instrument. Pets are also welcome.

If you wear glasses I would suggest that you remove the glass from the frames or have the sitting without them as the flash units tend to reflect off of the glass but there are ways round it.

Is the studio time dead on the hour?

As a priority I hope to make your session fun. I never time a session so you won’t feel rushed. This is especially helpful with small children and babies there is always time to feed baby and make sure everyone is happy.

There is time for a few outfit changes and play time for small children.

What are the best ages for child photography?

All ages are great!!!

Does the client get the ‘negatives’?

Digital packages are available . Please understand that taking the images is only part of the process in creating the art that will eventually hang on your walls. Not only do I enhance the images by removing spots and other blemishes, tweaking colours and using other post-production techniques, but I have spent years sourcing good labs and getting them to print the types of prints that I believe are acceptable for my clients.

 

Where do the shoots take place?

For maternity, newborn babies and smaller children, the quiet peacefulness of our mobile studio produces, in my eyes, the best images. I like the controlled light, and a heat-controlled environment. As the UK weather can be a little unpredictable (that was diplomatic!) and can be really cold and wet it is often more pleasant to be in the studio. I do, however, love wellies, umbrellas, macs etc and we can still enjoy playing outside. I am very flexible and happy to use your home or natural light location for these shoots if you wish.
