Why Should the Memories Fade?
That’s the question I ask myself whenever I spend time with the people who mean the world to me, and I can never think of a good answer.
The truth is that life is made up of those little moments, smiles, and sparks of magic that bring us all closer together. Over time they can fade, which is where I come in.
As a photographer specialising in authentic portraits and family shoots, I love nothing more than capturing a memory so you can treasure it for a lifetime.
Together we can shoot in any setting indoors or outdoors, shoot solo, or bring the whole family together like never before.
The choice is yours…
How it Works
You may already have an idea of the photos and styles you like, or you may have seen something you like on social media or online. I try to match the style to your personality in any case, as this looks more genuine and personal.
Book a FREE consultation with me where we can discuss the ideas and what you'd like to get out of our time together. We'll also discuss which session package works for you (see below) and pencil in a date and time.
To secure the date, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking (unless agreed otherwise). The balance is payable no later than 24 hours prior.
No more than two weeks after our session, I'll send through a link to your online gallery. Here you can either shop for prints or digital files a la carte, or you can click HERE and choose a discounted bundle. That way if you only want 1 photo, that's all you're buying!
​
For peace of mind I have Public Liability Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance as well as a DBS check.
PACKAGES & PRICES
Often, photography prices can be quite confusing as the session doesn't always include the final images. To make this easier, I have broken my Portrait Prices into three steps. You can also contact me if you want something more customised to your budget and requirements such as makeup and hair services or a studio session.
​
STEP ONE
Choose a session from below (indoor, outdoor or Follow-Along). This secures your photoshoot and a number of included elements.
STEP TWO
Once these are uploaded to your personal private gallery, you can order prints, products or downloads directly from the gallery.
Please note I also have some AMAZING custom printed options not listed in the store such as albums and wall art.
Alternatively, you can add on an image pack to save money. This is entirely optional and up to you!
​
Indoor Session
This can be at home, office or other indoor space. Ideally suited to small families where we can do group shots and/or individual photos. Just to note that 'doorstep' and garden shoots are included under indoor. Please message me to enquire about Studio Sessions.

Follow-Along Session
This is a great option to capture some candid shots of your family day out. I'll meet you at a rendezvous point, then as you'd guess, I'll follow along and capture your day out. This is great for couples and families and produces a much more natural-looking portrait.

Should I give my pet a bath before the shoot?Depending on the season, there may not be any need to do this. However it never hurts for your pet to look its best, especially white fur!
-
Should I bring pet food?It helps if you have treats handy to attract your pet when they have their own agenda. Having a photographer along on a Walk-Along Shoot can be a bit of a distraction, so treats will help build the trust and relax everyone.
-
Should I bring toys?Yes please! Anything your pet recognises and reacts to helps show their character and helps them to relax too. Squeaky toys or their favourite fluffy toy is great.
-
What if it rains?Rain isn't the bet weather, but can still get some good results. However, if it is raining at the time of the shoot and you wish to reschedule, that's no problem and won't be any charge to do so.

I need to cancel or reschedule my shootThings come up and plans change. For rescheduling, this isn't normally a problem as long as you can give me as much notice as possible. If I arrive at the shoot on time and you want to reschedule, then there may be a small fee depending on the distance travelled. For cancellation, if it is at least 24 hours prior to the shoot this is no problem. Please contact me to request a refund of any deposit paid. For cancellation less than 24 hours, you will forfeit your deposit, but any other payment is refunded.
