What to expect from a photoshoot

Lots of people ask me how a photoshoot will actually work.

What to expect.

What to wear.

Where it will be.

When the photos will be ready.

How do they view the images.

How much it will be.

So, here is a little rundown of what to expect:

I will speak to you on the phone, to find out a little bit about you and your family. I have little ways of making you all giggle, so it's handy to hear about ages and favourite things. We will talk about outfits and locations, plus i will send over my full pricing list in advance.

Your shoot will last 1-2 hours and can be done either on location, using beautiful natural light, or in my studio in Bowdon.

If outdoors, choose somewhere that is special to you and your family – a favourite park, local woods, a play area or simply in your own garden. We can discuss various locations prior to meeting up.

Don’t worry about posing, I can help you capture the love between you and your family with natural shots of you smiling, laughing, holding hands or tickling the kids.

Please be prepared to make the kids laugh (behind the camera) as you will bring out their best smiles!

Plus make sure you’ve all had a good meal before coming, so we aren’t contending with hunger. Snacks & treats are a good idea to bring, to keep the little ones happy (& big ones too!). As long as the snacks don't make a mess of outfits...like chocolate on a hot day or a lollipop that takes hours to eat!

After the shoot, I will edit the images and work on the post-production of them using Lightroom and Photoshop.

Then two weeks later, i will send you an online gallery with all the images in, ready to download.

If you have any other questions, or a specific request, please do get in touch and i'll happily help answer them:

I hope this has given you more of an idea of how my photoshoots work! x
