Child Sessions
As a mom, I know that every child has their own personality and style. I also know that different ages need different approaches. From toddlers to teens, I work to put kids at ease and let them have some fun. A genuine smile and capturing personality is more important than then perfect pose, so I keep direction to a minimum and let kids be themselves.
Details and Scheduling
I can include a few child portraits as part of a family session, or we can schedule a fun photoshoot just for them. For child centered sessions I keep things moving and try to incorporate some play or lighthearted moments. If your child has a favorite hobby or special interest, we can also work those into some of the images (don't worry you will get the more traditional ones too).
Full sessions run approximately one hour. I find this gives enough time to get a good variety of images and allows us to try several spots at your chosen location, without taking so long that energy starts to drop. But if your crew needs a little extra time, or a short break to regroup, that flexibility is there.
The best light is at the beginning or end of the day, when the sun is low in the sky. This changes with the seasons, so we can find a time of day, and time of year, that works best for your kids. To get started, use the contact form to send me a message.
Pricing
All of my photoshoots require a booking fee of £100, which goes towards your final cost.
Full sessions are £350 and include 10 fully edited high-resolution digital images. Additional images are available at £15 each. Images will be delivered through an online gallery, which also provides options for prints and photobooks. You can expect at least 30 varied images to choose from.
I will also offer seasonal mini sessions throughout the year. Mini sessions are quick sessions at a defined time and place. By booking multiple clients in quick succession, I can get you on your way quickly and keep the costs down for everybody. The best way to keep up to date is to send me a message and ask to be added to the mailing list for minis. But you can also check back here to see what is available. Pricing for mini sessions will be listed with the booking information.
