Frequently Asked Questions
-
What days do you offer photoshoots?
I currently offer morning and afternoon sessions on both Saturdays and Sundays.
-
Can I post the photos online?
Absolutely! I’d love for you to share the photos online. I want all your friends and family to see the beautiful moments of you together. Please feel free to tag me if you’d like, and let me know if you have any specific platforms in mind.
-
Can we bring our pets?
While I enjoy meeting everyone’s pets, they can sometimes steal the spotlight and act unpredictably when the camera is out. For this reason, I kindly ask that you don’t bring your furry friends to the shoot.
-
What should I bring for the session?
You don’t need to bring anything specific to the session, as I’ll provide any necessary props. However, if there’s a special toy your little one loves and you’d like it included in the photos, feel free to bring it along!
-
When do I pay for the photos?
I will require a deposit to secure your booking, with the balance due 48 hours after the day of the shoot. If you have any questions about the process or need clarification, feel free to ask!
-
What if we’re poorly?
If someone in the family is feeling unwell, it’s best to reschedule the shoot to ensure everyone is comfortable and can enjoy the experience. Ideally, it would be great if you could provide 24 hours notice, and then we can find a new date that works for you!
-
What about the weather?
I know the weather in the North East can be unpredictable, but we can adapt our plans to make the most of any conditions. If it’s overcast, it often creates beautiful, soft lighting. If we have some hard sun, we can find shaded areas for the best results. Either way, we’ll work together to ensure your photos turn out great!
If, however, it is forecast to be torrential rain, I will work with you to find a new date.
-
What should I wear?
To achieve a timeless look in the photos, I recommend wearing neutral tones for the shoot. Layering can also add some nice variety. You’ll receive more details in the photoshoot guide once we’ve booked a session.
I understand that little ones may not always want to wear what you choose for them, so don’t worry if they show up in bright colors!
-
When can I expect my photos?
After our shoot, I’ll share a few sneak peek photos within 48 hours, and you can expect the remaining photos within three weeks.
You’ll have access to a private gallery on my website that you can share with family and friends. I’ll also send the files electronically to your email, and these images will be high quality, making them perfect for larger prints.
-
Can I choose the location?
Absolutely! I can travel up to 30 miles from central Newcastle for our shoot, so whether it’s the beach, woodland, or your favorite park, I’ll find the perfect spot to capture your photos.
At the moment, I only conduct photoshoots in public outdoor spaces, but rest assured that I’ll select quieter locations so you can relax and enjoy the experience without distractions from passersby.
Still have more questions?
Choosing the right photographer is a big decision, so I understand if you have more questions.
Please feel free to drop me a message and I will aim to get back to you within 72 hours!
