ALL THE
LIFESTYLE INFO.
Lifestyle photography is all about capturing precious memories of you and your loved ones which mark a time and a place in your family history.
It may be that you just want some beautiful photos of your family to add to your collection or maybe you are celebrating a big life experience such as an engagement, an anniversary, a baby bump or a new baby. Whatever it may be, my lifestyle sessions are designed to be a relaxed and fun experience for you all capturing the real essence of your family.

DOCUMENTARY LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ll capture those natural moments that show the special bond between you and your loved ones; combining a storytelling approach with beautiful portraits, to record memories that will become family heirlooms.
My lifestyle sessions last around an hour to an hour and a half in a local location of your choosing which may of course, be in your home or garden if you have very small children.
Engagement shoots are often held in a location that’s important to a couple, perhaps the place of their first date or somewhere they like to often go together.
After the session, you’ll receive an online gallery with all of the final images available for you to download.

“These are stunning, thank you so much. They are so much better than I hoped for given that the baby wasn’t at his most perky! Guess what the grandparents are getting for Christmas!”
THE ALLERSON FAMILY
GOT SOME QUESTIONS?
What time do the sessions take place?
It depends on who I’m photographing. The ideal time for a summer photo shoot is the late afternoon into early evening as this is when the light is at its nicest. If you are a couple, then this is the time I would ask from you. If young children are involved, then basically I will be guided by you for timings. It may be that we start earlier in the morning as children can often be at their best after a good nights sleep but I’m happy to find a time that suits your family.
Where does the photo session take place?
The hour or so sessions take place in one location and I’m happy to go to a place of your choosing within a reasonable distance. It may be a local park or woodland or somewhere a little more urban if it’s just the two of you.
What happens if it rains?
I’ll get in touch a couple of days before the shoot and if it looks like rain we can either reschedule or go ahead as long as the forecast is not for torrential rain. We can still get a fantastic variety of photos with brollies for couples or kids in wellies, but it will be entirely up to you if we go ahead.
What should we wear?
Exactly what you like as it’s important for you to look and feel like yourselves! As a guide, a simple look tends to work best while avoiding big logos is preferable. Layering works really well for creating different looks and a change of outfit can be a good idea for very little ones. Couples may also want to have a second outfit to give two different looks to their images. It’s often best to avoid colours that blend with your location, for example, muted greens or browns/blacks will disappear into a woodland setting, while brighter colours will stand out beautifully.
