Families & babies

A bridge to your past and a glimmer of light for your future.

Want some up to date images of your family, but find being told how to pose and where to look awkward and stressful? Can’t bear the battle of getting your child out of their dress up costumes? Then you need to follow these easy steps:

One
Get in touch so we can arrange a chat to see if this approach to photography is right for you. You will then receive info on booking, payment of session fee and a questionnaire to help me fully understand what makes your family unique. Once the session fee payment has been received your booking is secure.

Two
You will then receive a questionnaire that will help you get the most out of your session and help me to fully understand what is important to you as a family and what makes your family unique. This will make sure we can capture your true selves in the best way possible.

Three
The day arrives and I come and hang out with you all for however long you choose. This is a time for you to relax and let your kids be their natural selves. Remember, you don’t have to dress up fancy, have a magazine worthy surroundings (if your laundry is usually sitting in that corner leave it there). This is about capturing your reality in this particular season of life.

Four
Around 6 weeks after your session, you will get your first glimpse at your gallery. The is the best bit; the bit where you get to see the beautiful crazy, chaos and all the love, so much love that there is in these demanding days of raising little ones. Your family as a work of art. After this, you will then be able to choose your collection. 

Collections are carefully curated to give you the best ways to preserve and display your memories for years to come. 

Collections start at £750.

Five
Book me again for the same time next year to continue your family story.

Sessions

Morning/Afternoon in the life
3-4 hours £250

3-4 hours gives time for your family to relax and be their real selves. This is when the magic really happens and you can forget I’m there and just do you.  Capture yourselves exactly as your are at home, in your garden or at your favourite location, maybe feeding the ducks at your local pond. 

Life In Motion
3-4 hours £850 (incl final film)

No acting, no artifice; just the real thing. Would you prefer to have movement and sound?  Would you be able to recall in 20 years time what their laughter sounded like and have it ripple through the hallways of your mind once more? This is the session for you. You will receive a beautiful 3-4 minute film lovingly pieced together that tells your story. 

Day in the Life
12 hour session £950

3-4 hours doesn’t feel like enough time to capture the true essence of your family life? Had a shorter session and fancy going all in?  Wanting the full gamut of the everyday from the time their sleepy head eyes open to the time they close again? Perhaps you’ve got the grandparents coming into town for the weekend? You’re on holiday in the area and what a day of that to remember forever? This is the one for you.
