Frequently Asked Questions

For newborn session, it's best to book after your 12 weeks scan. We would pencil a date for 7-10 days after your due date. Then just let me know once baby is here and we can adjust the date ( I always keep extra dates blocked in my calendar before/after).

For Baby photoshoot, you can book at any age above 3 months old.

For Maternity photoshoot, you can book as soon as you had your 12 weeks scan for a session between 33-38 weeks gestation, so your bump will be nice and round

My in-home studio is located in Warlingham . You can park in the driveway so there is no stress about parking !

For newborn, I only capture them in the morning between 10:00-12:00 when they are more settled.

For older babies, make sure your session doesn’t clash with their nap time. We want them to be rested and with a full tummy so they are happy

For Newborn session, it lasts up to 2 hours. This time include feeding, nappy change and cuddles.

All other sessions last 1 hour.

You will access to your gallery with all your best images edited (watermarked)

You select your 10 favourites included in your package, or upgrade for more.

You will receive your selected digitals without the watermark on it. Make sure to save them on multiple hard drives or cloud !

Yes, a non-refundable deposit of £100 is due at the time of booking, to secure your session date & time. This is then deducted from the session fee (meaning you will just have to pay the rest on the day of the photoshoot).

Yes for my Bump to Baby package, we will split the payments in 4.

Once we have agreed on a date, I will send you a booking confirmation email which includes a contract & invoice. Once you have read and signed the contract and paid the non-refundable £100 deposit, your session is confirmed.

You will then receive your Welcome guide & your Styling guide. I will send you a questionnaire to get to know you better.

I will send you a Styling guide prior to the session with tips on what to wear or what to avoid. I also have a client wardrobe for Mums and baby.

My style is very neutral & white tones, which makes your photos timeless. I don’t have anything for Dads, but a simple white shirt with a beige, brown or grey trouser / shorts works wonder.

You don’t need to worry about your newborn’s clothes. I have lot of beautiful little pieces for them in my Client’s wardrobe and we also use blankets to wrap them at the beginning if they need some help to fall asleep.

It's better to reschedule then. Nobody wants to do a shoot with a fever or runny nose! We can reschedule once without additional fees.

I shoot Wednesdays, Fridays and also some weekends.

I am a natural light photographer, so it's better to shoot between 10:00 and 15:00 (unless it's a sunset photoshoot)

For newborn shoot, I will only shoot in the morning when baby is more settled.

Don't worry I am not looking for this posed fake smile! I will give you simple direction & prompts, and will make you feel comfortable.

I will capture those littles moments where everyone is relaxed & having fun.

It can get frustrating for parents. I find over time that the following things work best : don’t ask your kid to smile or say “cheese”. Forcing them to get in the photo is the worst and usually don’t work.

If there are siblings, I will start by taking photos of them on their own, because they deserve to have their moment to shine too! We then move on to capturing all your babies together. I like to use little stickers that I hide in baby’s blanket and then ask the toddler to find them.

This way, once we are done with the siblings photos, they can go play on the other side of the studio or go out for a little walk if they want some fresh air. This also provides you with time to soak in your baby - often, parents tell me it is the first time they have been able to do so since coming home between the midwives and family or hospital visits and it is very welcomed. 

Yes I do. I will ask you beforehand in the questionnaire, but you can also let me know during the session if you want it to be captured (breast or bottle fed)

I don’t at the moment, but I am looking into it, so watch the space.

It usually takes 2-3 weeks to deliver a gallery. You will receive an email with a link to your gallery. You can select your favourites by clicking on the little heart icon.

If you love more than the ones included in your package, then you can upgrade to one of my collections (see my Pricing Guide for more info).

I ask my clients to select their photos within 7 days otherwise there is an extra fee of £20.

Of course. If you love more than 10, you can upgrade to one of my Collections (starting price £80)

Yes I do. I believe that your gorgeous photos shouldn’t just stay on your laptop or phone, but truly deserved a place on your wall. I have a simple choice of products available to you, from frame to albums with some very original other products too.

There will be samples in my studio and you will receive my Product Guide again after your session. You will also get access to extra products via the store in your gallery.

Prints are available to order directly from your gallery store. If you need a size not available there, just let me know.

I am sorry, the studio is pet-free.
