Your Portrait Session: Depending on your location, I will usually come to you and we can shoot in a well lit room in your home or garden, or alternatively your favourite park, beach or playground. I allow up to 2 hours for each session. We will work together to determine the best time for your portrait session. Early morning and late afternoon light is wonderful for outdoor shoots though I am happy to work around naps, feeds and the demands of family life!
I aim to make each session relaxed and fun and the main thing is that everyone enjoys it. Happy children can’t help but make for beautiful, happy photos!
Preparing for the shoot: We will discuss your expectations prior to your portrait session so that I am clear on the type of images you would like. Clothing should be comfortable and classic, plain colours are best. Bold prints and busy logos are distracting so best avoided and colours should co-ordinate for group shots. Feel free to bring a change of clothes for your children if you would like different looks. Bringing a favourite toy is always a good idea for comfort as well.
After the session: All photos are shot in digital and enhanced where necessary in my ‘digital darkroom’. One to two weeks after your session, approximately 40 images will be available for you to view in a private on-line gallery. A link will be emailed to you which you are free to pass on to family and friends who might also like to view your portraits. Your gallery will be viewable for two weeks and orders may be placed via the webside within this time. Prints will be received approximately two weeks after placing your order.
