What should I expect on the day?

Expect a relaxed, friendly session where the focus is on capturing genuine moments with your family. Whether we're at your home, in the studio, or out on location, I’ll guide you through everything—there’s no pressure to pose perfectly. We’ll take our time, especially with little ones, allowing for breaks, snacks, or a bit of silliness when needed. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere where everyone can be themselves, so we get images that feel natural, joyful, and totally you.

Where do family shoots take place?

You can choose between your home, a relaxed studio session, or an outdoor shoot at one of Bristol’s lovely parks or urban spots. All options offer something special—studio shoots give you clean, timeless portraits, while home and location shoots capture a more natural, lifestyle feel with your family in their element.

What’s the difference between a studio and a location shoot?

Studio shoots are perfect for classic, styled portraits with controlled lighting and a more polished finish. Location shoots give us more flexibility, movement, and often a playful, candid feel—especially great with kids!

Why is there an extra cost for studio sessions?

Studio sessions cost £50 more because I hire a professional studio space specifically for your shoot. This ensures you get the best possible setting and lighting. The studio fee is non-refundable once the booking is confirmed, as I commit to the hire on your behalf.

Why would I choose to rent a studio space instead of using your portable studio setup at our home?

While my portable studio is a great free option for creating beautiful portraits in the comfort of your own home, renting a professional studio space (for an additional £50) offers some unique benefits. Studios provide much more room to work with, allowing for a wider range of poses, backdrops, and lighting styles — especially helpful for larger families or more creative setups. The controlled environment also means perfect lighting and no worries about limited space, home décor, or unpredictable natural light. If you’re after a more polished, magazine-style look or just want a little extra flexibility for your session, the studio option can really elevate your final images.

How long does a family shoot last?

Typically around 1 to 1.5 hours. This gives us plenty of time for different setups, outfit changes, and for everyone to relax into the session—especially little ones!

What should we wear?

Wear something you feel comfortable in and that reflects your family’s personality. Coordinating colours work really well, but there’s no need to match exactly. Avoid bold logos or overly busy patterns, unless that’s your vibe!

How many people can take part in the shoot?

The session covers one household group, but I’m happy to include grandparents or extended family by arrangement—just let me know when booking so I can plan accordingly.

Can we bring pets?

Yes—if you're doing a location shoot and your pet is part of the family, they’re absolutely welcome! For studio sessions, it depends on the space—please check with me first.

How do we get our photos?

After the session, I’ll send you a gallery of the best images to choose from. You’ll then receive your final selection, professionally edited in high resolution, ready to print, share, or frame.

When will we receive the photos?

Final images are delivered within 1–2 weeks after you’ve made your selections. If you need them quicker (for a gift, for example), just let me know.

What if someone’s ill or we need to reschedule?

I totally understand—life with kids (or grown-ups!) can be unpredictable. If something comes up, I’ll always do my best to reschedule. Just note that if a studio has already been booked and we’re past the cancellation window, the £50 studio hire fee is non-refundable. That said, I’ll always try to find another shoot to cover the cost for you, so you’re not out of pocket.

How do we book a shoot?

Just send me a message through the contact form or by email. We’ll have a quick chat to plan the shoot that suits your family best, and then I’ll confirm the details with you.
