Lay back, act natural, and let’s take some pictures
This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.
The real You framed into a timeless portrait
My approach
01.
Book me!
Once you’ve made up your mind, contact me or visit my online booking page to make a booking.
02.
A little admin...
I will issue you a quote, invoice, payment link & contract
I kindly ask for contracts and payments to be completed 7 days prior (family photo sessions) or 30 days prior (weddings).
I may also be in contact to ask a few questions, confirm locations, and make sure I can be as ready as possible for your photo-day!
03.
Picture time
On the day, please just relax and get into the spirit of fun and capturing magical moments.
I know sometimes it can get a bit intense, so we can go at a relaxed pace, and I will gently guide you through the process.
I can also work in ninja mode, you won't even know I have been snapping away!
04.
Delivering photos
I will advise on timescales for your particular session.
I aim to provide a little 'sneak peek' where possible around 1 week after the event.
On average the full edited gallery is delivered within 4 weeks so you can see yourself in all your natural glory.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Portrait sessions may use additional off camera lighting and camera flash where required. Please do advise me on booking if this may be uncomfortable for you or any of the attendees.
What should I wear?
Whatever represents you! It's a good excuse to get out your favourite dress, or colour co-ordinate the whole family... the possibilities are endless.
I always encourage a change of clothes, some accessories or your child's favourite toy to inject some character and storytelling to the photos.
How many pictures will I receive?
This depends on the session type selected- please see the booking details for your session or speak to Emma
Are you available outside of Crawley?
Typically, sessions can be done at my home in Crawley. I am able to travel within a 10 mile radius, further travel can be arranged at additional cost.
Do you do couples photography?
Yes! When was the last time you had a photo that wasn't a selfie? I'm also happy to incorporate couple shots within family portrait sessions.
I'm not sure how my children are going to feel about it / behave...
Relax! I know there's nothing worse than feeling pressured or stressed because your little one has decided they don't wan't to play ball but you just want one nice photo!
I always allow more time than is needed, this means that we have time to get to know each other, get used to the surroundings, and capture everyone when they are having those little moments of laughter. You will be surprised at what can be captured!
I don't want my images on your website or social media. Is this OK?
This is something that I am very mindful of, and wish to respect your privacy. Your online gallery is password and PIN protected, and the email you provide me is the registered email for downloads. Please do let me know at booking or via email if you don't want me to use any of your images.
