A photoshoot doesn't have to be stiff or awkward. My goal is to capture your family as you truly are—whether that's kids playing in the garden, cuddles on the couch, or a walk through the woods. It's about preserving real connections and moments that tell your family's story. These photos are for your walls and memory books, not just for Instagram. When they're honest and natural, they age beautifully. Just be yourselves, and I'll handle the rest.

Most families come to shoots in their everyday clothes, and I love that. I'm here to capture your real life, not a styled version of it. Some photographers recommend neutral colours, pastels, and coordinating outfits. If that’s your thing, go for it! But if it’s not, don’t stress. I'd rather photograph you in the clothes you and your kids love and wear every day. Here are a few tips: Avoid bold logos, cartoon characters, or big brand names—they can be distracting. Think about how you’ll look as a group—you don’t have to match, but it’s nice if your outfits feel cohesive. Wear what feels like you. If your child loves flowery dresses, great. If they prefer shorts and muddy boots, perfect. A quick word about bags, buggies, and bits: Family photoshoots are like mini adventures. We’ll move around a bit, and often the parent ends up carrying a bag they don’t want in the photos. Sometimes I wear it, sometimes we stash it behind a tree. If you can bring fewer items, it will feel more freeing—but I understand what it's like wrangling kids. If possible, keep phones and sunglasses tucked away. Phones in pockets can be a visual distraction. I’m happy to carry them in my bag for you during the shoot.

Most sessions last around 60–90 minutes. I allow time for snack breaks, outfit changes, or just giving kids space to warm up. It’s very relaxed and not rushed.

Absolutely! You can choose the location. I can suggest beautiful outdoor spots around London like Hampstead Heath, Richmond Park, or a hidden gem in your neighbourhood. We can also shoot in your home where everyone feels most comfortable.

London weather can be unpredictable! I’ll usually check in a day or two before with an update. Light rain can actually create some beautiful, moody photos (especially with puddle-jumping kids!), but if it's heavy or just miserable, I’m always happy to reschedule. Flexibility is part of the process.

For outdoor shoots, early morning or late afternoon offers beautiful, soft light. However, with young kids, their comfort comes first. Happy, well-rested children are more important than perfect lighting. For home shoots, late morning usually works best for natural light.

Yes please! Dogs are part of the family, and grandparents bring an extra layer of connection. Just let me know in advance so I can plan the flow of the shoot.

It's totally normal for kids to have meltdowns. I've worked with many families, and I go with the flow. We'll pause, reset, and play our way back into connection. Some of my favourite images come after a wobble.

You’ll receive a private online gallery within 2 weeks, where you can download your images and order prints if you’d like. I also offer help with choosing wall art or albums—because your photos deserve to be seen, not just saved in a folder.

My editing style is warm, natural, and true to life. I don’t do heavy filters or over-airbrushing. I might remove the odd scratch or snot bubble, but my goal is to keep your family looking like your family.
