What to expect

Whether you would like a family or an individual portrait, my main focus is to capture you and your family in this moment of your lives! I want to capture moments with all their beautiful imperfections, not poses or statues. Be relaxed, and natural, let the kids play around, and even get dirty!

For family or group of people, we'll start off our session by getting that perfect family pose, one standing and one sitting pose. And then we'll start our adventure. Be thinking of things that you like to do together as a family, little games or activities that you like to do together... If the session is on a specific theme think about days before the day of shooting.

Expect lots of fun. Lots of laughs. Lots of hugs, kisses, and snuggles. Whether booking a mini session or a full lifestyle session, I'm so excited for you to consider me to document this special time in your lives. Let us take this time as a team work. Team work makes dreams come true, together we will freeze this time!

According to the location think about the suitable clothing you can put on. Imagine what we could do: you and your family sitting on the ground, by a tree, etc. If ladies and girls will be wearing a dress or a skirt, make sure you will be comfortable doing so and that proper undergarments are worn.
I will take formal portrait shots, but I also like to catch candids of kids being kids. If you are overly concerned about your child ruining an expensive piece of clothing, perhaps you should choose a different item or bring a secondary outfit.
Worn down, dirty and/or scuffed up shoes can draw your attention in a photo, so don’t leave footwear as an afterthought.
Take keys & phones out of your pockets before we begin!

Be yourself, don't worry about anything. Take the shot as a journey. Be in the moment and don’t stress about the end result. We will get some beautiful photos. You will be more emotionally attached to the images if you have FUN while taking them.

For families, if you are worried about how your children are smiling, or if Dad is irritated (they usually are, and it’s ok!), then you will think of that every time you look at your photos. Relax, enjoy the time spent with your family, and I will catch some amazing moments for you that you can cherish forever!

Between the time when your booking is confirmed and Day -1 before the shot we will stay in contact. If you have questions about anything, please do not hesitate, shout. I am here to help in any way that you may need, from helping with wardrobe choices, or deciding between whether or not to bring your child's lovey. I want to make this session awesome for you, and I love getting involved in all the details. You can email, text, or send a facebook message. Whatsapp is the quickiest way to ask and get answers.
