Questions
What areas do you cover for photography sessions?
I cover Milton Keynes and surrounding counties including Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, and North London. I travel up to an hour from Olney with additional charges for further locations.
How long do family photography sessions typically last?
Family sessions usually last 1-2 hours outdoors or at home, allowing natural interactions to develop. Newborn sessions take longer (2-4 hours) to accommodate feeding breaks and settling periods.
What should we wear for family portraits?
I provide detailed clothing guidance to ensure cohesive, timeless styling. Focus on coordinating colours and comfortable outfits that reflect your family's personality rather than matching exactly.
Are digital files included in your packages?
Yes, all packages include digital files in both colour and black/white versions. You'll receive high-resolution images suitable for printing and online use through a secure online gallery.
How do you handle newborn safety during photography sessions?
I have specialist newborn safety training and use careful handling techniques. Sessions are conducted in your home environment to ensure baby's comfort and security throughout the photography process.
Can we include pets in family photography sessions?
Absolutely! Pets are part of the family and welcome in outdoor sessions. I have experience working with animals and capturing their interactions with family members naturally and safely.
