What does the £75 session price include? It includes your 2 hour photo shoot, a pre-planning phone call or email to discuss your location and clothing options, the meticulous editing of all your images and access to a private password protected gallery.  Additional advice might be needed about choosing which images to print and how best to display them.  The session price is paid in advance to secure your booking.

If your chosen location is beyond 20 miles of Edale an extra 45p a mile is charged.

Do you offer different pricing structures?  If you are a large group sometimes these collections don't meet your requirements, we can discuss your needs and I'll come up with a bespoke collection for you.

Is there a limit to the number of people in our group?  No, there isn't, I am used to shooting extended families of 14 people however, I would say that it's easier for you if the group is smaller if you're wanting unposed photos of ALL of you.  There becomes more direction from me if there are uncles, aunts and cousins around which breaks the natural flow of the action so the shots become more staged.  Around 5 max is a good ballpark figure for more natural interactions.  There is an additional fee of £15 per person above a group of 5, however grandparents come free!

What happens if it's raining?  We pencil in a few days so that we can be sure for a window of fine weather; I keep a close eye on the weather forecast and we make our decisions close to the suggested dates when forecast is more accurate.  On occasions when the time and dates are not flexible we may need to change locations or in the past I have gone ahead with scheduled time even if the weather is being a bit drizzly.  No matter the weather, we still have fun!!

When is the best time of day for a photoshoot?  We chose a time which suits your child's routine, bearing in mind that times for the best light are early in the morning or late afternoon.   The midday sun creates harsh shadows so best avoided.

What if my child doesn't smile or is non cooperative?  Your child might not smile for the whole time, this is normal.  What is normal is that for the majority of the time your child is not just smiling but laughing too!  I have volunteered for many years with after school clubs and forest schools and have developed silly tricks to keep children on my side.  Moments of grumpiness are short lived and we're soon back on track  - leave it to me, I have never failed to bring a child out of the doldrums.  But also remember all emotions are real and all emotions can be captured!

When can we see the photographs?  I aim for your images to be in a password protected gallery within 2 weeks of your shoot.  The password protected gallery is online for 3 weeks, please ensure your order is made and paid for in this time otherwise a hosting charge will be incurred.

Can we opt out of having our photographs published on your website and social media channels for your marketing purposes?  Indeed you can, just let me know.

Do you have gift vouchers?  Yes!  Just drop me an email.

Is the fee transferable?  Yes, the session fee is transferable,  there will be no extra cost if the shoot needs to be postponed due to poor weather or illness, I only ask that you give as much notice as possible.

Whilst every effort is made to make the family feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible, I also appreciate that not every day is a good day for our children so if the shoot is hampered by a major tantrum, I am happy to stop and reschedule. I do not want you to look back on the photos and think "oh poor love, he was so ill that day".
