Where are you based and what areas can you cover?
I am based in West Molesey, near Hampton Court, so although most of my photographic shoots are taken in this area I am happy to travel throughout Surrey so please call me/email me if you are unsure.
What shall we wear for the photoshoot?
For the adults I would suggest wearing clothes you feel good in. Just bear in mind that patterned and floral prints can be distracting so try and avoid these. Try to also avoid wearing shorts. It will be helpful to have a second change of clothing for your child/children so I can give you a further range of photo's to choose from.
Will you bring 'props' with you?
Yes, I will bring some props with me, which I’ll bring along but I think it’s important to use items from your family home as well, such as a favourite fluffy toy or a particular soft blanket or comforter. So anything that’s special to you or to your child, we’ll try and add into the shot/s. The main thing is to enjoy your session and have fun.
What time of day is best for the photoshoot?
Ideally, try and arrange it so that your child/children has had a sleep and toddlers should ideally be awake for minimum 20 minutes before we take the photos. If a new baby falls asleep on the session, there's no problem – we'll work around it – after all, any new mum will tell you it's not always easy to say when your baby might be awake. An ideal time to take photos for young babies is just after they've eaten whilst mornings often work better for small children as they are less tired.
