FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CHILDREN & FAMILY
Where do sessions happen?
​
We can have the session at your home, where your family feels most comfortable, or outdoors in one of Surrey’s lovely natural spots — fields, parks, or woods — wherever suits your family best.
How many people can join?
​
Typically up to six people, but if you want to include extended family, just let me know and we’ll make it work.
What should we wear?
​
Simple, comfy clothes in soft, coordinated colours work best. Simple, timeless outfits in soft fabrics like cotton or linen are ideal. I’m happy to help with outfit ideas so everyone looks and feels great.
What if my child is shy or does not want to cooperate?
​
That’s absolutely okay! I work at your child’s pace, making the session fun and relaxed with breaks, games, and plenty of space for natural play.
​
What should we bring?
​
Snacks, drinks, wipes, spare clothes, and any toys or props your children love to help keep everyone happy and comfortable.
What if the weather is bad?
​
If we’re shooting outdoors and the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll reschedule for a nicer day. A little cloud is great for soft light, but heavy rain means we wait for a sunnier moment.
What if someone is sick?
​
Just let me know, and we can rearrange. Your family’s health and comfort always come first.
When is the best time of day?
​
Early morning or late afternoon outdoors gives us the best soft light. At home, we’ll work around your family’s routine for the most relaxed session possible.
​
What to expect on a session?
​
We’ll start with a chat, ease into the session, and base everything around what feels natural for you. I’ll offer gentle direction—angles, prompts, little activities—while letting true interactions shine.
​
How long do sessions last?
​
Usually 60 to 90 minutes — enough time to capture plenty of moments without anyone feeling tired or restless.
Do you do posed photos?
​
Yes, sometimes, but in a natural, relaxed way. I gently guide the family so smiles and connection come through authentically.
​​​
Can I bring special items or props?
​
Absolutely! If there’s something meaningful to you, bring it along and we’ll include it naturally in your photos.
When will the photos be ready?
Final, edited images are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks via a private online gallery for downloading.
​
Are prints or albums available?
Yes. A selection of professional-quality prints, framed artwork, can be ordered upon request.
​
Do you share your images on your website or other social media platforms?
​
I love sharing beautiful sessions to inspire other families—but it's completely optional. If you'd prefer your photos stay private, just let me know and I’ll respect that completely.
​
How far in advance should a session be booked?
Booking 4–6 weeks in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons such as spring and fall. Short-notice availability may be possible depending on the schedule.
