If the thought of a portrait session fills you with equal parts excitement and nerves then don’t worry, you’re not alone! Whether it’s your first time in front of the camera or you’re bringing the whole gang (pets included), we’re here to guide you every step of the way. At our studio, it’s all about keeping things relaxed, natural, and even a little bit fun (yes, really!).

Here’s a little peek behind the curtain so you know exactly what to expect from the very first hello to the moment you see your beautiful portraits for the first time.

Step One: Let’s Have a Chat

Every great portrait session starts with a conversation. When you get in touch with us, we’ll take the time to learn more about you, your family, and what you’re hoping to capture. Got a shy little one? A bouncy pup? A particular vision in mind? We want to hear all about it.

No pressure, no sales pitch, just a friendly chat to get to know each other and start shaping your bespoke session.

Step Two: A Session Tailored to You

No two families are alike and we wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s why we personalise every shoot to suit you. Want something fun and lively? Quiet and intimate? We’ll make it happen.

When the day comes, we create a calm, welcoming environment for everyone (even the four-legged family members). There’s no ticking clock, no awkward posing, we take the time to let personalities shine through naturally. That’s where the real magic happens.

Step Three: The Shoot (AKA Time to Have Some Fun!)

Here’s where it all comes together. Our sessions are all about keeping things relaxed, easy-going, and fun! We’ll guide you through the whole process with gentle direction and the occasional silly noise (especially if we’re working with children or pets).

And don’t worry if someone’s not in the mood at first, we’re experts at coaxing out smiles, giggles, and genuine moments. Some of the best shots happen in between the “poses”, when everyone lets their guard down.

Step Four: Choosing Your Favourites

About a week after your session, we’ll invite you back to view your images in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. You’ll get to see all those beautiful moments we captured (and yes, tissues may be required!)

We’ll help you narrow things down and pick the portraits that best tell your story. Whether it’s a big, bold family photo or a quiet moment between siblings, you’ll walk away with images that truly mean something to you.

It’s More Than Just a Photo Shoot

We know having your portrait taken can feel like a big deal but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Our goal is to make every step of the journey feel comfortable, personal, and even enjoyable. It’s not just about getting the shot, it’s about creating an experience you’ll actually want to remember.

So if you’re ready for a portrait session that feels more like a lovely day out than a formal appointment get in touch.
We can’t wait to welcome you and show you just how fun (and meaningful) a professional portrait session can be.
