What locactions do you offer?

As a family photographer, I offer you the flexibility to choose from a variety of stunning locations for your photoshoot. Whether you prefer the tranquillity of the forest, the vibrant colors of the heather, or the serene beauty of the beach, each setting brings its own unique atmosphere to your photos. The location you choose will shape the vibe of your images, and I'm here to help guide you in selecting the perfect backdrop for your family photography. Let’s work together to create memories that truly reflect your family’s spirit.

What should I wear?

One of the most common questions I get from clients is, "What should we wear?" Fashion advice for photo shoots has evolved, and I’m happy to help you choose or narrow down options. I recommend starting with a color palette of 3-4 tones (blue, earth tones, neutrals, pastels) so everyone can express their style while coordinating beautifully with the location.

Should I bring any accessories?

As your photographer, I provide the accessories for your outdoor family shoot. I bring cozy blankets for the family to sit on, creating a relaxed atmosphere. If desired, I can also bring fun accessories like a stylish hat for mom or other items to enhance your photos!

When can we expect to receive our family photos?

The turnaround time for receiving your edited family photos varies by photographer but is typically within 2-4 weeks after the session.

How long does a family photography session typically last?

A family shoot usually lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, but the duration can vary depending on the number of children and the overall activity level during the session. Each shoot is unique, and I adjust the timing to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone!

Can I get the RAW images?

My editing style is an essential part of my work, so I do not release RAW or unedited images. I apply my own presets to maintain a consistent aesthetic, ensuring that when others see your photos, they reflect my signature style.

Can pets join the session?

Absolutely! Furry friends, props, or any unique items that represent your family are always welcome in your session.

How can my child be best prepared for a shooting?

Encouraging your child to explore during a photo shoot is a thoughtful decision, as it opens the door to a world of natural and genuine moments. By granting children the freedom to wander and engage in play, their authentic selves emerge, illuminating the essence of who they are. These unscripted moments capture the vibrancy and spontaneity of childhood, resulting in photographs that exude life and energy. This journey of exploration not only produces captivating images but also cultivates cherished memories that will bet reasured for a lifetime. At the  moment when your family is exploring,  I create the most beautiful and unique images exactly as you are. 

How else can I prepare for my photo shoot?

Have fun! Above all, the process of getting your photos taken should be enjoyable! I understand that it can be overwhelming to decide on outfits or choose the perfect location for your family shoot, but I aim to alleviate that stress by offering suggestions on what to wear. Ultimately, clothing choices are secondary; what truly matters is that your family has a good time. So, let’s have some fun! It’s crucial for me to keep your family close together while ensuring your children remain engaged and entertained. This might involve playful interactions like tickling your little one or encouraging him to cuddle up with Mommy. Alternatively, it could mean letting your child explore and interact with nature, discussing the colors and shapes of leaves, for instance. If your little girl simply wants to be held, I’m here to capture those tender moments for you!
