What can I expect from the photoshoot?
I will have already been in contact prior to the date of your photoshoot to confirm timings/location and any props you wish to use. I want you to enjoy your photoshoot with me and feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. So I will pretty much follow your lead! If we are heading to a park, think of it as a fun family day out. We will take a walk around and find some pretty places to stop and take some photos! A nice game of peek-a-boo or hide-and-seek is a good ice-breaker for young children, and gets everyone running around having fun. Ocassionally I will give you a little direction, but I hope to be as natural and flexible as possible!
What if my child/baby misbehaves or is not happy on the day?
Children and babies are unpredictable! My 6 years of working in childcare, as well as having my own young daughter has taught me that! The photoshoot will last for around an hour and a half, but there is plenty of room for flexibility. If your baby needs a change or feed, we can stop for a bit.
The great thing about my style of photography (lifestyle photography) is that it requires very little formal posing! I want you and your children to be completely yourselves, to relax and just enjoy each others company. Children and babies are free to explore, roam about and play while I snap away, capturing some beautiful memories for you!
And if your young child just wont cooperate, even after an ice-cream bribe, we can always re-schedule the shoot for another day, at no additional cost. I'm happy, when you and your children are happy!
How do I purchase the Photos?
Unlike a lot of family and wedding photographers, I aim to give you amazing photographs for a reasonable price. These prices include my travel to the location of your choice (up to 45 minutes form Sutton, Surrey for family shoots), the photo shoot and the amount of photos as specified in the package. Additional digital photos can be purchased for £10 per photo.
As of yet, I do not offer printed photographs. This is something I hope to offer in the future!
What can I do with the Digital Photos?
As the photographer, I have the copyright of the photos. This means I am allowed to publish them on my blog, professional facebook and website portfolio. However, these are personal photos of your family and I will discuss this with you beforehand if there are certain photos you just don't want published online.
Once you have purchased them, you are free to print them off using your own printer or online sites (I can recommend a few!) and publish them on your facebook/twitter/blogs. If you do publish them online, it would be lovely to have a little mention or link to my website!
How/When do I pay you?
I ask for a 20% deposit to secure your chosen dates with me. This is payable either by bank transfer or through Paypal. The remaining amount must be paid at least one day prior to the shoot.
Do you do any other kind of Photography?
I would be happy to cover certain events, such as Christenings, birthday parties, family day's out etc.
I do now offer wedding photography!
Do get in contact and I shall give you a personalised quote for these!
What if I need to Cancel?
If you need to cancel your photoshoot for any reason, please let me know asap. We will re-schedule the photoshoot for as soon as possible at no extra charge.
If you need to completely cancel the shoot, you will be refunded the money asap.
Sometimes, I will need to re-schedule the shoot due to bad weather or because my child is sick (bare in mind I am a working mother!). In this case, I will let you know in plenty of time.
