I love to photograph people.  One of the things that I hope you will like, if you choose me as your photographer, is that I am very patient, calm and easy to get on with.  Guess what? I know children get bored really quickly....some grown ups too!  I'm also very aware that many people don't feel relaxed or confident having their photos taken.  As a pro photographer, one of the most important things to me is that you enjoy the whole process from start to finish. It's not just about the great photos that you get at the end; it's about how your cherished memories will have begun when we were taking them.

Up to 2 hours of photography in an outdoor location that you love, or inside in the comfort of your own home. However, if the kids are having a bad day and you want to have a bit of down time, I can often make the session a bit longer at no extra charge.  Equally, if all goes well, you might be happy if we get all we want in less time. It's up to you.

You'll get a high quality, password protected, digital images gallery to download directly from my website.  These will have been professionally edited, including a selection of black & white and special effects images, at no extra cost to you. As I don't print them, I'll give you full reproduction rights to print the photos as you wish, again at no extra cost. 

Some things you need to know:

Sessions are for a maximum of two adults and three children. Contact me for larger group costs and options

Outdoor sessions are obviously weather dependent. I have done some great family photoshoots in the rain and snow, but your health and safety is important. If the weather is really bad, we can reschedule if you prefer at no extra cost to you

Indoor photography at your home or a local family member home:  I need about 4 metres x 4 metres (approx 12 feet by 12 feet) of space so that I can set up lighting and a plain backdrop if needed - this will give some of your photos a studio type look 

Prices are for the Southampton and close surrounding areas.  A little bit further and I will need to add some travel expenses.  However, these will only be to cover my costs and not to make extra profit from you. I'll make sure you know these costs before you decide to go ahead, so that there are no hidden or unexpected charges for you
