I want to give you memories you didn’t even know you need or wanted.

So what is it really like having your family photos taken at home? 

Family photography at home is as much about having being captured in your environment to help preserve these memories of their first homes, as it is about your children feeling at ease in their surroundings. Its them not wanting me to leave to go to my home because they are having too much fun. It’s so important to me to get them on board from the start.  For them to enjoy our family photoshoot at home as much as i do. I want to create a relaxed environment where they can be themselves. It’s just as important for me as taking the family photographs. If they aren’t themselves then we will not be able to capture you authentically, and br able to deliver you images that speak to your heart.

Our time together is not about forced, cheesy smiles. Does anyone else have a child who’s a “Chandler” wanna-be?…No? It can’t just be me… HA Just me? Family photography is as much about capturing true emotion and connection as it is about the smiles and laugher. It could be the way you brush your child’s hair from their face or the way they grasp your finger as they toddle to walk.. Maybe it’s the way they embrace you, or how your hands envelop theirs, or even the deep belly laughs that they struggle to come up for air from. I want to see and capture all of that. These are your memories that i will work alongside you to photograph. 

I like it see this as me giving you time to “breathe them in” to soak up their scent, how they feel when they lean against you, when you struggle to find where you start and they end. It’s so important to me that I am able to capture that and give you these all-important memories. Looking back through these photographs you should be able to be transported back to that moment and relive it over and over.

One day they will have out grown our laps, but we know they won’t our grow our hearts. 

As candid as my photo may seem, don’t be fooled. I don’t expect you to know how to pose yourselves. It’s impossible for you to know how to pose, so I will be there to give you some direction during the photoshoot based on the best light in your home. I will loosely direct you, help you get into flattering angles and then help you to relax into each other. Thats when the magic really happens. 

When you book me you don’t just get a family  photographer. You’ll get a stylist and therapist  to take care for all those worries  over what you’re going to wear,.A children’s entertainer,  lighting magician and last, but by no means least, your photo taker / chief editor.

As a lot of my clients book me many months in advance this can means my diary is is regularly full up. I recommend that we start making plans ahead of time.  If you have a spefici date in mind  It’s even more essential that we get some dates in the diary many months before., 

What happens before our at home family photography

session? 

 All of my in-home family photography session, you will get access to my tailored pre-session questionnaire so I can get to know you long before I meet you. We’ll also schedule a FaceTime/ Zoom or quick telephone chat too if that works for you. You’ll receive my curated style guides together with links to my ‘shop my style’ Pinterest boards which are linked to many UK shops. Making it easier than ever to treat your before your family photography session.

Most of all, please understand that we’ll be working together throughout this whole journey to your perfect family photos. I will make sure you are all fully prepared, looking your best, and most importantly relaxed so we can capture your unique story.
