Family, Baby and Maternity Photoshoots


I offer relaxed outdoor photoshoots in the Wiltshire, Cotswold and Gloucestershire countryside as well as further afield for family, baby and maternity photoshoots. I'm happy to travel to meet you in an outdoor location of your choice, or advise you on the best places to go (and consult my black book of top outdoor photography locations!).


Alternatively, photoshoots can happen in the calm (or chaos) of your home. It can be a delightful alternative to something outdoors and isn't as stressful as you may imagine! At home photoshoots can work especially well in those early days of motherhood (who wants to leave the house with a newborn?!), for little ones that need the comfort of their own space, or for more raw, intimate maternity photoshoots.



Family

I love a family photoshoot. No matter how chaotic, how messy or how crazy it all becomes don't ever worry - this is life and I will capture it in all of its glory!

These fun family photoshoots whether indoors or outdoors are led by the children, and your family. I will work with what you are comfortable with, play games, chat, do silly things, and just have fun (whilst someone captures it all on their camera)

Maternity

Available at home or outdoors, with or without your partner or wider family, this is the moment you get to pause and celebrate, anticipate and treasure this time where you are growing a beautiful babe (or babes!).

Baby

A sweet moment captured showing parents lovingly embracing their smiling baby wearing a white cap.

Whether its those first days and weeks, or once they've really developed those delicious rolls and are taking note of the world around, baby sessions are designed to be completely relaxed and to go with the flow of baby and you, capturing this incredibly special time.

These sessions are usually at home, but as the weather warms up we can definitely do these outside too.


I can't stress enough that there is no 'right time' to have a new baby shoot, apart from when it feels right for you and your family!

FAQ

How many images will be in our gallery?

It depends on the type of photoshoot or event and how long we are together.

For an average 60 minute shoot your gallery will have 50+ images to choose from

How should we dress for our family session?

This is a GREAT question. The difference between your images being timeless or not can very much depend on your wardrobe. It sounds arguably fickle, but no matter how much your little one loves that paw patrol tshirt, its never going to compete for me with neural, earthy tones or simply less patterned, tonally complimentary clothes. I'm really happy to give advice and provide a bit of wardrobe inspiration for you!

I want to have a photoshoot with my baby, how old should they be?

In my opinion, the best time for a photoshoot with your newest babe is whenever that works for you and your family. Whilst some photographers will insist on the first 10-14 days as the magic window of newborn photography (and dont get me wrong, they are super cute and sleepy and delicious at this stage!) that might not work for you for a number of reasons (you are wanting to stay in your baby bubble, perhaps you had a rough birth and need more recovery time, you just cant even remember your name let alone book a photographer...!). Honestly - no time is a bad time. Even when babe is a little older and has a few weeks under their belt we will be able to capture all of those little details, we will be able to get some sleepy shots, and these images will be no less special than those shoots where we snap them in those first few days. I'm happy to come and snap whenever works for you - its a privilege that you're letting me into that bubble whether they are 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months old!

How do I get my toddler/child/baby to behave at our shoot?

As a Mum of three I suppose you could say I'm trained to expect the unexpected! Believe me when I say I will work with whatever comes my way. The last think I want you to feel is the stress of trying to get your little one to do or be something that they just aren't feeling. Photoshoots will never be overly posed, we dont need to say 'cheese', and I will never expect that children turn up to 'perform'. In saying all that, if I've one piece of advice for you its just to relax, take the rough with the smooth and have fun yourself... the little ones usually follow!
