When we meet up, I take things slow. There’s no pressure to start taking photos right away. I let your child get to know me first and get comfortable in the space. If they need time to explore or warm up, that’s totally fine. If we’re doing an activity-based photo shoot, I’ll introduce them to what we’re doing, whether it’s picking flowers, playing with bubbles or interacting with some props in a scene set up.

I don’t set a strict time limit for the session (except for mini sessions). Some children warm up quickly, while others need more time. My goal is for them to feel safe, happy and free to be themselves while I capture natural, beautiful moments.

I don’t set a fixed time for full sessions because they are completely child-led. Some children are happy to start straight away and may only need 30 minutes, while others take longer to relax and get used to the camera and a session can last up to 2 hours. It all depends on your child.

If your child feels overwhelmed, needs a break, or even a complete reset, that’s completely okay. I work at their pace with no pressure. I also offer free rescheduling if needed (terms and conditions apply), so you don’t have to worry about things not going to plan.

Mini sessions are 20-30 minutes long to allow for other sessions booked the same day.

• Comfort items – If your child has a favorite toy, fidget, or comfort object, bring it along! These can help them feel at ease.

• Snacks & drinks – A little break with a favourite snack can help keep energy levels up and please bring along a drink, especially during very active sessions or hot weather.

• Wipes & tissues – For any little messes, runny noses or dribbles.

If it’s light rain, we can often continue with the session, especially if your child enjoys puddle jumping or doesn’t mind getting a little wet! However, if the weather is too cold, wet, or windy, we can reschedule at no extra cost. I will usually discuss any possible weather issues prior to meeting if the forecast isn’t looking great. Your child’s comfort is my priority, and I want them to enjoy the experience.

That’s completely okay! My sessions are flexible and I will never force a child to continue a shoot if they are uncomfortable or become distressed.

Sometimes all they need is time to adjust. If they need space, we can let them explore and I’ll capture natural moments from a distance. If they’re really not feeling it that day, we can chat about rescheduling at no extra cost. Your child’s comfort always comes first.

That’s absolutely fine! My personal, creative projects involve capturing my own non-verbal child with additional needs, so I’m completely used to adapting to different communication styles, possible environmental issues and sensory preferences. I understand that every child expresses themselves in their own way and I tailor each session to suit their needs - whether that means using communication tools, allowing plenty of movement or keeping things calm and slow-paced.

If there’s anything specific that helps your child feel more comfortable, you can share this with me before the session through the questionnaire or over the phone when we plan the session. My priority is making this a stress-free and enjoyable experience for you and your child.

Full sessions always include siblings and I love capturing their natural interactions.

I don’t specifically set out to include parents in images. As I specialise in photographing children, my shooting and editing style is tailored to that. Editing for adults is different and often requires more retouching, which isn’t something I offer.

That being said, I totally understand that as a parent it’s sometimes hard to get photos of yourself with your children. So, if there’s a natural moment during the session where you want to jump in, I’m happy to capture it! Just keep in mind that if it’s a styled session, these images may look a little out of place if outfits don’t coordinate. If having parent-child images is important to you, we can discuss ways to coordinate the look beforehand to keep everything cohesive.

I shoot on location in beautiful and unique spots around the Cotswolds that are ideal for sensory-friendly sessions.

We’ll discuss styling before your session to make sure everything will be comfortable for your child and it fits the vibe we’re going for. You’ll also receive a styling guide to help with outfit choices.

I have a small collection of clothing pieces in my client wardrobe that I can suggest if they fit the style we’re aiming for in the shoot. These items are available to borrow, and I’ll let you know if any of them would be a good match for the session. My goal is to ensure your child feels comfortable and looks great while keeping the overall style natural and cohesive.

You can book by messaging me through my website. If you heard about me through your child’s school, you may be eligible for a discount - just let me know when booking!

I’ll carefully select and edit your images, and you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and download them. I aim to deliver your images within 2-3 weeks after the session.

You can then select your package for purchasing prints, products and digital images.

Yes! I offer professional, high-quality wall art, prints and albums so you can have your beautiful memories displayed at home. You can view my available packages above.

I understand that plans can change, and I want to be as flexible as possible. Please review the following terms for cancellations and rescheduling:

• Initial Retainer Payment: The retainer payment made to secure your booking is non-refundable, unless I cancel and am unable to reschedule with you for a date you’re happy with.

• Rescheduling: You can reschedule your session once prior to the session date up until 3 days before the scheduled shoot. If you reschedule within this time, your payment will be transferred to the new session date.

• Cancellations and Rescheduling After 3 Days: Cancellations or further rescheduling after the 3-day cutoff will result in the loss of all fees paid.

• Mini Sessions & Venue-Specific Bookings: Please note that mini sessions or full sessions booked at certain venues may not be able to be rescheduled due to the venue’s policies or event dates. However, if rescheduling isn’t possible, we can discuss booking a similar session in the future at another time.
