How would you describe your photography style?

I shoot in a very relaxed and natural style. It’s often referred to as photojournalism, documentary or reportage. It doesn’t involve posing and it relies on letting you and your family be yourselves.

Should we bring anything?

Anything your family enjoy doing together is really helpful. Flying a kite, playing a ball game…. with older families we’ve even played card games for the photo session.

What happens if it rains?

We can either reschedule before the session – move the session indoors or put coats and wellies on and go and splash in some muddy puddles.

Do you charge for travel?

I don’t charge for the first 15 miles (so if you live within 15 miles of Derby travel is included) – which gives you access to the stunning Derbyshire Peak District and National Forest after that it is £1 per mile.

Do you offer Gift Vouchers / Certificates?

Yes – family photoshoot gift certificates are available to purchase here

Where do the photos take place?

Family photography can take place in a family home, in a forest, down the park… anywhere you feel at home with your family.

In Derbyshire we’re wonderfully placed for the Peak District, Dovedale, Buxton & Sherwood Forest and Derby has several wonderful parks.

What should we wear?

My priority is that you feel relaxed and comfortable for your photos – so what you feel comfortable in is the best advice I can give! After that, try to avoid large logos / text and bold patterns…. although all these rules are there to be broken!

How many people is the family photoshoot for?

The family photoshoot is for up to 5 family members – with a £30 surcharge for each additional participant.

How do we view the photos?

You have a digital gallery where you can download your images and order lab prints.

How do we book?

Please get in touch using the form on this page and tell me about your family and requirements and we’ll get the ball rolling.
