FAQ
How do I book a session?
You can book via my website’s contact form, or via social media direct message.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings, booking 6–12 months in advance is ideal. Portrait sessions are best booked 2–4 weeks ahead. For newborn sessions, I recommend reserving around your due date to ensure availability — we can adjust the date if your baby arrives early or late.
What is your pricing?
Pricing varies depending on the type of shoot, duration, and location. Please see my services page.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes — a non-refundable deposit of £50 confirms your booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of the session.
How long will the session last?
Portrait sessions typically last 1–2 hours. Events and weddings depend on your chosen package.
What should I wear for the shoot?
Choose outfits that reflect your personal style and make you feel confident. I’m happy to share a style guide for inspiration. Neutral tones usually photograph beautifully, while avoiding busy patterns helps keep the focus on you.
Do you travel for shoots?
Absolutely! Travel fees may apply for locations outside my main service area of Derbyshire.
How long does it take to get my photos?
Galleries are usually delivered within [3 weeks] after the shoot. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.
Will I get the raw/unedited files?
No — I only provide fully edited images to ensure the best quality and style.
How will I receive my images?
You’ll get a private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing. Prints and albums are available upon request.
What happens if it rains or I need to reschedule?
We can reschedule at no extra cost if the weather is bad or if you notify me within 7 days.

Session Tips
CLOTHING: Neutral, or soft tones and coordinated outfits work best. Avoid busy patterns. The studio will be warm to keep toddlers/babies cosy – so dress accordingly. Dress newborns in loose, easy to remove clothing.
KIDS: Let them be themselves! Bring a favourite toy or snack if needed. Newborn sessions are baby led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddling and settling, so there is no pressure. Bring extra milk for newborns; just incase you opt for the newborn milk bath!
RELAX: The best photos happen when you’re having fun. And not overthinking the poses, or stress about perfection.
