The FAQ
Do you Travel?
I am based in Maidstone, UK and will be happy to travel within Kent.
How many photos do we get?
I am pleased to offer a gallery of up to 50 pictures to each client. Depending on the package you will go for, you will be able to choose a limited number of photos or go with the entire gallery.
How do we get our photos?
You will receive your images in a secure online gallery
Do you retouch photos?
The general answer is YES. I work with professional software to achieve a polished and complete look for all the photos my clients receive. I will remove any background objects that will distract from focusing on the main subjects, and will retouch minor spots or imperfections but I will not do any major manipulations which will dramatically alter a client's features.
What's your turn around time?
You will receive your photos in 1-2 week's time.
How do we book you?
You can use the contact button on the web site or send me a direct message on my social media. My heart sings with joy every time I book a new client!
Can you help us with planning?
Absolutely. Styling is a huge part of my creative process so I will be very present in the planning of your photo shoot and will guide and advice you in the best colour coordinated outfits and accessories. Will also be happy to suggest beautiful locations like the ones that you might have seen in my previous sessions.
What does styling exactly mean?
While I never put pressure on clients to choose a certain look, you might have noticed a common theme in my images which is neutral clothing with pops of colour, natural fabrics, layering and flowy dresses. Styling a session means that I am happy to assist you in finding the best clothing items that will suit you and the rest of your family best and which will also be relevant with the location. If you are here, it means that you already like my style and vision, so I'm sure we'll be on the same page in deciding on your wardrobe. It will be a really easy, fun process and something for you to look forward to, almost like a holiday!
How far out do you book?
I am currently taking bookings for 2024
How do the in-home sessions work?
Just like a normal session, only you don't need to leave your house. I will help you with styling if you will require and we will discuss which part of your home will work best. We can use your entire home if you want to, or we can scatter some cushions and lay blankets on the floor next to a window for the best natural light and make some magic.
Can we reschedule an outdoor session due to bad weather?
Yes. I want you to have the best images possible, that's why I will agree to reschedule sessions free of charge in the event of heavy rain or extreme weather.
What time do the sessions take place?
For outdoors sessions, the time will vary depending on the season, but the hour before sunset is our best choice. The light at golden hour will fall on you perfectly making you look flawless with no harsh, unflattering shadows.
The family indoors sessions can take place at pretty much any time of the day.
For new born sessions we will need to meet in the morning, as that's when babies are usually at their happiest and most rested.
Is a new born-session any different to a family one?
A new-born session is different in the aspect that it may require a longer session time. It will be exclusively baby-led and this means more time for nappy changes, feeds and for settling your baby. That is why, for lifestyle new-born sessions the Jasmine package works perfectly. Two hours will offer us the perfect amount of time to capture your relaxed cuddles and loving smiles.
I love to offer my clients a vast variety of shots - from wide atmospheric angles to those intimate close ups of your tiny human's feet and angelic face. These sessions are for immediate family members only. Pets are more than welcome to join!
