What to expect from your family session with me
1. Getting Ready
-
Once the session date is confirmed, I arrange for a telephone consultation 1-2 weeks before the photo shoot.
-
At the telephone consultation we have an informal chat where I get as much information as possible about each family member. I gather the information to build a picture of your family as a whole, from your favourite holiday destination to your family theme song!
-
This also allows me to find out what exactly you want to achieve from the session, it could be up to date photos of the children, something for the grandparents or some fun time with the family!
-
After the consultation I send an email with lots of helpful hints on what to wear and how to prepare your family.
-
Next I plan your bespoke family session that will be totally unique for your family.
2. The Session
-
My style is very playful and I love to engage and play interactive games with the family so everyone is relaxed and natural.
-
We start with the whole family together and have a few ice breakers to loosen up, followed by children together, each parent with children, parents together, individual portraits and ending with some playful fun shots.
-
Normally I dedicate 60-90 minutes for each session but don’t think you are posing for that long!! We keep on moving and most importantly keep the children (and dad’s) interested!! Quite often I have children squeezing themselves in the picture when its mum and dads turn!!
3. What happens next
-
Now you can finally sit back and relax. I will be working hard going through your images and selecting the best ones (around 40-50 images) and perfect them individually.
-
I know you will be anxious see how your photos turned out so I normally share a sneak peek of few images on my face book page.
-
2 weeks after your session, you will receive an email from me with a link to your password protected gallery. Alternatively I come to you for a special slideshow viewing of your gallery, where I bring all the gorgeous wall products and spend time with you selecting the best way to display your family photos.
-
Once you have selected your products I will create mock ups for you so you can see how your products will look. After approval and payment, you will get your products hand delivered within 4 weeks.
