Get in touch via email or the \u201cGet in Touch\u201d button. We\u2019ll have a chat about the type of shoot you\u2019re interested in and arrange a date that suits you. If you\u2019d prefer to talk first, I\u2019m happy to arrange a call. Once we\u2019ve agreed on a date, I\u2019ll send you a booking email with a contract. Once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, your session is officially booked. Dates and prices can\u2019t be held without a deposit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We\u2019ll meet at the chosen location (or walk there together) and explore as we go. I\u2019ll gently guide you with prompts so you\u2019re never unsure what to do, but the real magic happens in the in-between moments. My style is relaxed and lightly directed, giving you space to connect and just be yourselves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We\u2019ll use the rooms with the most natural light, so please declutter those spaces \u2014 especially around windows or beds. Just like location shoots, at-home sessions are all about natural, honest moments. I\u2019ll gently guide you, but the focus is on capturing your genuine connection in your own space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

I\u2019m based in Essex, but happy to travel across Essex, Kent, London, Suffolk, and Norfolk. Travel fees apply outside a 25-mile radius.

I suggest all wearing neutral colour clothing. For example, Dads can look more comfortable in a t-shirt or jumper, and mums in look lovely\u00a0in a long dress, but whatever you feel most comfortable in. Often fancy newborn clothes don\u2019t fit baby’s properly at this age and it is best to keep baby\u2019s wardrobe simple with baby grows or sleep suits with no patterns on them to keep them timeless, also some nappy only shots wrapped in a blanket can be lovely. I do have a small client wardrobe of dresses for people who would like to wear one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Let\u2019s be real do kids ever actually play ball? They\u2019re going to be themselves, and that\u2019s what I love most. I\u2019ve worked with little ones for years, and have 3 of my own so I\u2019ve seen it all, the big energy, the meltdowns, the quiet moments too. I build in plenty of time for cuddles, snacks, and all the unpredictability that comes with small humans. We\u2019ll roll with whatever the day brings, and I promise, we\u2019ll still capture something beautiful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

You\u2019re welcome to bring along anything that feels like you,\u00a0a cosy blanket, a picnic, a change of clothes, or anything special you\u2019d love to include. If you\u2019ve got a particular idea or vision, feel free to let me know ahead of time. For babies and kids, think about neutral-toned toys you wouldn\u2019t mind seeing in your images. Teethers, snacks are all good. If you\u2019d like a little bribery tool (no shame!), mini marshmallows are a great go-to quick to eat, not messy, and easy on the eye in photos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ah, the great British weather, always keeping us on our toes. If you\u2019re happy to embrace the elements, I\u2019m totally up for it too. Some of my favourite shoots have happened under stormy skies or light drizzle. But if you\u2019ve got little ones or just don\u2019t fancy getting soaked, we\u2019ll simply reschedule for the next available date. If it\u2019s really tipping it down or stormy, I\u2019ll be in touch ahead of time so we can make a call together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

You wouldn\u2019t believe how often I hear this \u2014 honestly, most of my couples or families say the same thing. It\u2019s totally normal to feel a little nervous or unsure at first. I\u2019ll always do my best to help you feel relaxed and at ease, and I promise you\u2019ll never be left wondering what to do. I\u2019ll guide you gently throughout, and most of the time, you\u2019ll be too focused on each other to even think about the camera. By the end, I usually get a message saying how much fun it was and that\u2019s exactly the vibe I\u2019m going for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
