Before the shoot:
After we have made initial contact, I will pencil in a provisional date for your shoot and will send you a short booking form to fill in, which will secure your booking. We can talk through the different package options if you are finding it hard to decide which package is right for you, and I can answer any questions you might have. I will then be in touch again about one week before the scheduled shoot (or a few weeks before your due date if it’s for a newborn shoot) to touch base and talk through anything else you might want to discuss prior to the shoot.
On the day:
It’s really simple. I’ll come to your house, or meet you at a location of your choice, and I will snap away, while you spend time with your family, doing the things you enjoy.
The sessions are simply about you being you, and I will always try to make you feel as comfortable and as at ease as possible during the photoshoots. I’m here to tell your story, and there’s absolutely no need to ‘prepare’ anything before the shoot. I want it to be a fun and relaxed experience for the whole family and, as a mum myself, I am all too aware of the MESS and unpredictability that comes with having children - in my opinion, it’s all very much a part of family life. The same goes for your children… Parents often voice concern that their children may play up in front of the camera, or not want to be photographed, but I can assure you I am very used to both of these scenarios and it doesn’t matter one bit! I want your children to have fun and be themselves (and I will roll with it, and embrace whatever that brings on the day!).
“Meeting Kate for our family photo shoot was like meeting a family friend who happened to have a camera. She immediately put us all at ease and was great at engaging with the children.”
After the shoot:
I will be in touch a couple of weeks after the shoot with a link to a password protected online gallery where you will be able to view your images. Depending on the package you have chosen, we will then discuss further options regarding any printing, framing, or anything else you might be interested in, and I will send you a secure link where you can download the fully edited high-resolution digital images.
