FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Before booking a session, it’s totally normal to have questions. In fact, knowing the right questions to ask your family photographer can help you feel much more confident and excited about the experience. Below are some of the most common things people ask me—plus honest answers to help you decide if we’re a good fit.
What should we wear for our family photo session?
Keep it simple and comfortable. Go for colours that work well together without being identical—neutrals with a few warm tones always look great outdoors. The main thing? Wear something that feels like you. If you’re comfortable, it’ll show in the photos. I’m happy to help with your outfit planning.
What if my kids don't cooperate during the session?
One of the most common questions to ask your family photographer is: What if my kids have a meltdown? Honestly? It’s no big deal. I’ve photographed every type of mood and moment. Sessions are child-led, playful, and flexible—your job is to show up, not to make your kids behave perfectly. Here a blog post all about it!
How long will the session take?
Most sessions last between 1–2 hours, but I never rush. We’ll take our time and let things unfold naturally. The best photos often come from the in-between bits anyway.
When will we receive the final edited photos?
Your full gallery will be ready within 2–3 weeks. I carefully edit every image to make sure they feel true to your family and the session.
What if we're not comfortable in front of the camera?
You’re not alone—almost every parent says this. I’ll gently guide you where needed, but mostly I’m capturing real connection, not forced poses. You don’t have to ‘perform’—just be yourselves.
What if the weather’s bad?
For outdoor sessions, we’ll keep an eye on the forecast. I’m happy to reschedule if needed—or we can embrace the wind if you’re up for it!
Do you offer advice on what to expect or how to prepare?
Yes! You’ll get a full guide before your session with tips on what to wear, how to prep your space (if we’re shooting at home), and how to get the most out of it!
I hope this has helped answer some of your questions!
