FAQs

• What does working with you look like? What’s the process?

  Your family session is all about capturing life as it really is. The little everyday moments, emotions, and connections that make your family unique. Here’s how it works:

  1. Questionnaire – We start with a short questionnaire so I can understand what matters to you and how your family works.
  2. Pre-session video call – A chance to connect, answer questions, and get familiar before the big day.
  3. Photo session – 3–10 hours depending on your session type, capturing real-life moments like breakfast, playtime, baking, park walks, or bedtime stories.
  4. Editing & slideshow – Your photos are edited with a timeless look, and you’ll receive a slideshow of your images. You then choose the collection that’s right for you.
  5. Collections – Each collection includes digital files plus print credit so your photos can live on walls, in albums, or as keepsakes.

  The whole process is designed to be smooth, simple, and enjoyable. For a full run-down of what to expect, seeYour Family Photography Experience ›.

• How long will it take before we see our photos or film?

  For family photography, your full gallery will be ready within 3 weeks. Family films take 4–6 weeks, depending on the length of your film and the story we’re telling together.

• What is print credit, and what products can it get us?

  Print credit acts like a voucher included with your family photo package. It’s money you can spend in your online gallery store towards beautiful physical products — from loose prints, framed wall art, to albums. I offer this because I believe your photos deserve more than a hard drive. They deserve to be part of your everyday life, to hang on a wall, sit on a shelf, or even be gifted to loved ones.

• What if I need to cancel, or someone is unwell, or the weather is bad?

  You can always reschedule your session up to two times at no extra cost, giving you flexibility if life gets in the way. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can free up your date for another family. However, once I’m already at the agreed location or on my way there, cancellation is no longer possible.

  That said, with documentary photography, you don’t have to let illness or bad weather stop you. There’s still so much beauty to capture: the care you show for your child, the ways you support each other, and the little gestures or family rituals that reveal your bond. Jumping in puddles, running for cover, cosying up indoors. These honest, everyday moments can create heartfelt and timeless images. You can see an example of a session where we were caught in the rain here.

  However, if you’d prefer everyone to be healthy and the weather to be good for the session, then it’s absolutely fine to postpone. Your family’s comfort comes first.

• What should we actually do during our family session?

  Anything is possible! Your session is completely tailored to your family and what feels meaningful to you. That’s also where the questionnaire comes in: it helps us plan activities, moments, and experiences that truly reflect your family’s personality and life.

  I usually capture real, everyday moments from pancake breakfasts, forest walks with your teen, dancing to Disney tunes with your toddler, tickles and full-belly laughs, planting flowers in the garden, bath-time splashes, bedtime snuggles… anything that makes your family life unique.

  Can’t decide what to focus on? A full 10-hour  “Day in the Life” session is a wonderful way to document an entire day. I also capture special occasions, like birthdays, naming ceremonies, religious milestones, and festivities — whatever feels important to you and your family.
