Family Photography

I recommend booking your family session at least 2-3 months in advance, especially if you have a specific date or season in mind. This gives us plenty of time to find the perfect location, discuss ideas, and make any necessary arrangements. While early booking is recommended, I understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need a session sooner, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule

Our goal is to make your family photography session enjoyable and stress-free. The duration of a typical session can vary slightly depending on the dynamics of your family but they’ll generally take 1.5- 2 hours. We take our time to capture candid and posed moments that reflect your family’s unique personality

I understand that small children can be full of energy, but my patience and genuine affection for them create a relaxed atmosphere during our sessions. The key is to prioritize their happiness over strict discipline; we’re here to have fun. It’s not just toddlers who might feel hesitant; even adults in larger family groups can be unsure at first. To ensure everyone is comfortable, we’ll discuss the session’s goals and expectations, starting and ending times, and the activities involved. Sharing our family photoshoot prep guide with every adult can be very helpful

Absolutely! Pets are family so we want them involved if possible; Just let me know when booking. Remember to pack some of your pet’s favourite toys or treats to keep them engaged and happy during the session. 

Bring multiple outfit options for everyone involved for variety to your gallery. Remember any special clothing for children or pets. Bring specific items that hold sentimental value, like a favourite toy or a family heirlooms. For longer sessions or if you have young children, having snacks and drinks on hand can help keep everyone energised and happy. A small kit with makeup, hairbrush, and a mirror can be handy for quick touch-ups during the session.

First we’ll discuss which date and time suit you best. We’ll decide if we want your photoshoot to take place in a Greenwich park, your home or another local venue. To secure your session slot, I’ll send a 50% invoice for your chosen package in family photography. This is vital due to the fast pace of bookings. A few days before your photoshoot, a second invoice will be issued, requiring payment before the session’s commencement. 

Roughly 2 weeks after your photoshoot, We’ll meet again to view your gallery. If you live local to Greenwich, London then I’ll come over to your home If you’re travelling from far away then we’ll view your gallery together via zoom. Our gallery viewing encompasses not only image choices but also showcases wall art, frames, and other selections. All payments, including upgrades and products, occur through either card transactions or bank transfer at this meeting.

Choosing the right outfits for your family photoshoot can make a big difference in the final result. Opt for coordinated colours and styles. Choose complementary colours or a common colour palette. Think about where the photoshoot will take place. If it’s outdoors, consider earthy tones or pastels. If it’s in a more formal setting, dress accordingly. Avoid patterns, neon colours and bold logos. Stick to solid colours or subtle, small patterns. Have a look at these guides to help you decide what will suit your photoshoot;
