Simple, casual clothes- the plainer the better. Jeans and a white or grey T-shirt always look good; please avoid clothing featuring words, logos, and pictures as it can be very distracting. Pack outfits that make you feel good and bring along personal items that have sentimental value.

The best time to photograph a pregnancy is from 33 to 36 weeks when your tummy is visibly round. Bring your children and your partner if you can, as this will make for extra-special shots. Please come prepared with a selection of nude-coloured underwear – we’ll provide a selection of beautiful fabrics and maternity dresses. You could also consider booking our make-up artist too.

After your session, you might like to tentatively book in your newborn session to secure a space with us. Or simply opt for our Bumps & Babes package, which covers both occasions.

We have everything you need for a child photoshoot and will keep your little ones happily entertained. These sessions typically run for up to thirty minutes and produce incredible results – many of our favourites are hung on the walls at our studio!

There’s nothing sweeter than babies and dogs, though both prone to slobbering! For many parents, the family dog was their first 'baby' so it makes perfect sense to capture the two together.

New environments tend to excite dogs, so please try to ensure yours is relaxed on arrival.

Your dog will benefit hugely benefit from a walk around the block or a game of fetch before your pet photography session. Have a few treats on hand to encourage their cooperation – it’s a trick that works with toddlers too!

When you book and confirm an appointment, we set aside precious studio time and staff resources for your photography session and design consultation. We ask that you therefore do us the courtesy of providing at least 48 hours’ notice of any cancellation or postponement, not only for our benefit but also so other clients’ appointments don’t get disrupted. We understand that rescheduling can be required due to illness or unexpected events, but we do ask for your cooperation and understanding in upholding this policy so all our clients can benefit from the same level of service and customer focused attention we pride ourselves on providing.

Please be advised that failure to provide adequate notice of a cancellation or multiple rescheduling will result in the forfeiture of your session fees, and another session fee payment will be required to hold your new date. If you hold a gift certificate and fail to provide 48 hours’ notice of cancellation or postponement, we will deduct our standard studio session and/or design consultation fee from the value of the gift certificate.
