 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Please click here to contact me for a quote so I can send a tailored package to your needs. Once we finalise the details, I’ll guide you through the next steps to secure your session.

  • Your date will only be blocked once the reservation advance is paid (often 50% of the total). The remaining payment will be due on the day of your session after I take your photos.

    • Pre-Session Consultation – A friendly phone call to discuss your vision, preferences, and any questions you may have.

    • Session Time – A relaxed and professional photography session tailored to you.

    • Digital images package: x amount of high resolution digital images already included in the package, no hidden fees.

    • Personalised Online Gallery – Browse and download your beautifully edited images with ease.

    • Option to Purchase Extra Images – Love more than what’s included? You can purchase additional retouched images.

    • Access to an Online Shop – Order high-quality prints, albums, and more to preserve your memories in a tangible way.

  • Yes! You can purchase additional retouched images beyond the X amount included in your session package. Each additional image is meticulously edited to match your style and needs.

  • It depends on the type of session you choose, but typically for most portrait sessions:

    • A week after your session, you will pick the images from a numbered contact sheet.

    • 20 business days after that, you will receive a personalised Online Gallery.

    • Commercial work can have a faster turnaround, agreed upon when hiring the job.

  • You will receive a complete guide on what to wear with your confirmation email to help you feel confident and look your best.

  • It can be at your home, business, or desired location or at my lovely studio in South West London.

  • Rainy Days & Rescheduling:

    If you booked an outdoor/park session, we will monitor the weather until the night before. If the forecast predicts rain, we can:

    • Find an indoor alternative (your home or indoor venue) within the booking’s postcode.

    • Reschedule to a new date that accommodates both parties.

    I cannot shoot under the rain as my focus, equipment, and image quality could be compromised. However, we will shoot if the park is wet, and there will be no rescheduling due to cloudy days, as overcast weather provides beautiful soft light for photography.
