Questions

Outdoor photo shoots

Where will our shoot take place?

I'll suggest a location that suits your family and the season, from bluebell woods in spring to heather and golden grasses in late summer. I'm based in Weybridge and photograph across Surrey and London, and I'll send you directions before your shoot.

What time of day is best?

The hour or two before sunset gives that soft, golden light you see in my photographs. Early mornings are lovely too, especially in the city when parks are quieter.

What about naps and bedtimes?

Treat it like any special occasion and adjust the day a little. A good nap beforehand helps, and the excitement of the shoot usually keeps little ones going. For evening shoots, an early tea before we start works well.

Can we bring the dog?

Of course. Dogs are part of the family. It helps to bring a lead and someone who can hold them for a few photos of just the people.

Should we bring a buggy?

Many of my favourite spots are on woodland paths and heathland, so a buggy can be tricky. A carrier for babies and a small bag with snacks and wipes is usually all you need.

What if the weather is bad?

Light cloud and even a little drizzle can look beautiful. If heavy rain is forecast, I'll get in touch before your shoot and we'll find a new date together.

Questions

At-home photo shoots

Is my home suitable for photos?

Yes. All I need is a room with a window. I work with natural light, and real, lived-in homes make the most heartfelt photographs. There's no need to redecorate or tidy every corner.

Which rooms do you use?

Usually the rooms with the best light, often a bedroom or living room. Cuddles on the bed, reading stories and playing on the floor make wonderful, natural moments.

Can we have a shoot somewhere other than our home?

Yes. A grandparent's house, a holiday cottage or anywhere special to you works beautifully. Just let me know when you enquire.

Do you photograph newborns and babies?

Yes. At-home shoots are especially relaxed for babies, and we can work around feeds and sleeps. Get in touch during pregnancy if you'd like to plan ahead.

Comfortable clothes you feel like yourselves in. Soft, natural tones that work well together, without large logos, look lovely in photographs. I'm happy to help with ideas when we plan your shoot.
