Before the photography session, which could be the same day, we will meet over a coffee to chat about the session, to go through the details of what you wish to achieve, the look in terms of formal or informal, and who will be in the pictures.

We can then discuss clothes, props. location, weather, and hatch a loose plan which will no doubt evolve as the session progresses as new ideas emerge.  Plus of course if there are children then we can adapt as their energy changes.

You are probably not a model and perhaps will feel a little nervous.  You do not need to know how to stand or sit or what to do with your hands or feet for that matter.  I will guide you and direct you to bring out the best and make you shine bright.

If we are not using your home or a studio, do consider a location that has meaning to you or the family.  Perhaps where a toddler learnt to ride a bike or where you got engaged.  Maybe just a stroll down a quiet lane where you have been a thousand times before where the smell of the air makes you feel at home.

Do bear in mind that some parks need to be pre-booked and a fee paid by you as the client for a permit.  This is generally council owned parks.
