family
Family sessions are about capturing your family right now just as you are, capturing the love, emotion and even the chaos so that when you looking at your photographs you are transported back to that exact moment in time and feel the way you did in that exact moment.
As a mama, I understand just how precious time is and just how quickly your babies change and grow. It is feeling like today is the longest day in history but also not knowing where the last 6 months have gone. This time right now is so precious and fleeting.
So if you are after a photographer who understands the chaos of raising babies, can manage tantrums and meltdowns and truly appreciates the how special this moment in time is for you, then I’m the photographer for you.
FAQS
When’s the right time to book a family session?
Family sessions can be booked all year around. Depending on your preference of outdoor or studio.
During Summer with daylight savings sunset doesn’t occur until late which doesn’t suit many with young children.
In the cooler months the sunsets earlier which suits more however the weather can be unpredictable and can result in rescheduling sessions.
How long does a session go for?
Your family session will run for approximately 45-60 minutes, occasionally they run shorter or longer. This is dependent on your children, often kids are tired and are only engaged for a short while. Extended family sessions go for 1-1.5 hours as it takes longer to get through all the combinations of immediate families as well as group shots.
When to book in?
I suggest booking a family or extended family session 3 -4 months in advance, this allows to find a session to your preference and my availability.
However, I will do my best to accommodate all clients even at short notice.
How do we prepare for a family session?
After you book in, you will receive a prep guide which will outline how to prepare for your session. This guide will outfit suggestions if you choose not to use the client wardrobe. You will complete a questionnaire about your family prior to your session which will allow me to get to know your family a little better before our session, so I can tailor your session to best suit your family.
