FAQ
What can I expect when I book a shoot?
I'll be by your side to help you ahead of our shoot date. I'll guide you with ideas on what to wear, the best time to take photos in the best light, ideas on locations and poses. And I would love for you to share your ideas on what inspires you, so we can plan the perfect session together! On your shoot day, I want you feeling confident and relaxed, that I can capture all those honest moments, and all the little details that make your story unique.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm in Wimbledon, London, and am available for shoots around the Greater London area.
I love to travel, and if you are based further afield, I would love to discuss your requirements, and would ask for travel fees to be included.
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 3 weeks. You can download all the photos from your gallery, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
How many photos will we receive?
You will receive a minimum of 30 fully edited images. I choose quality over quantity and take my time to choose the best images to tell your story.
Choosing a location
I prefer to shoot in natural light, either in one of London’s gorgeous green spaces, or with an iconic city backdrop, or in the comfort of your home. I am open to suggestions if you have a favourite location you'd love to try! Any additional venue fees would need to be added if required.
What should I wear?
The colours, shapes and textures of your outfits, and the location, go hand in hand, to influence the mood and focus of your images. You want your photos to be timeless, and look the best they can. You don’t want your clothes to distract from your special moments.
A simple outfit will draw your focus to the emotion of the image and the gorgeous location. A neutral, earthy palette, with soft textures, minimal layers, no patterns, no strong colour variations, and minimal accessories - is universally flattering.
A bolder outfit and will draw your attention to the subject. The right pop of colour and texture - paired with the right backdrop - can really pop. Stronger earthy colours, (forest green, deep maroon, mustard yellow), or interesting textures (like metallics), with more layers and accessories work well against a simple backdrop.
Brighter fluorescent colours can distract. Stick to more earthy tones, whether going for a softer or a stronger palette. Choose colours to compliment your skin tone.
Big chunky patterns and logos can be distracting. Watches can steal focus from intimate images of your hands holding faces, or newborns.
Your pets add such a special element, and you are welcome to include them.
When you feel uncomfortable in your clothes, you will look uncomfortable in your images. Dress comfortably for your location, and for the weather conditions, with the right shoes, so you can focus on making magic!
Choose a material that can show some movement to add a beautiful energy to your image. Iron any big wrinkles from your clothing.
Complimentary colors, tones, and textures always look better together, than matching outfits. And I am here to guide you, if you'd like to send me pictures of your planned outfits ahead of time!
Payment schedule?
I require 30% deposit to secure a date for your session, with the remaining balance to be paid on the day of the shoot.
What if is there is bad weather?
Dramatic weather can make for the most unique images with incredible skies and light. But if the weather is bad enough that it will ruin our time (and my gear!), and if I am able to reschedule, then I absolutely will!
Do you provide RAW images?
Half the magic happens when I sit down to edit your images, so I do not provide any RAW unprocessed images to clients.
Do you retouch images?
I edit all your images for colour and light, and will remove any temporary blemishes like bruises or scrapes or blemishes. I don’t want to fundamentally alter the way you look. If you are self conscious of something particular, let me know, and I will be careful to look after this when we are shooting together. Full retouching can be done on selected images at an additional cost upon request.
