Do I need to prepare for my sitting/photoshoot?It is surprisingly difficult to sit alone infront of a camera and be 'yourself'. Often it is easier to be natural if you have a context, i.e. an object that you can respond to or interact with.
What do I need to bring to a sitting/photoshoot?As above, giving your sitting a context can really help so bring a familiar item, a favourite hat, necklace, skateboard, teddy, shoes, gloves etc or maybe an unusual object depicting the season or your mood. If you choose one of the packages with a preliminary meeting, this will all be discussed beforehand.
I have a baby portrait booked, what sort of items work well?A portrait of a baby surrounded by nothing but handfuls of crunchy autumn leaves on a stark white background can make a striking image. Immediate warmth in the colour, textured leaves against smooth skin and interest from the child. The same theory applies to the use of bubbles, flowers etc.
I have a location shoot booked. What happens if the weather is bad?Don't worry, I am very flexible and we can either take advantage of the conditions or move the shoot indoors. Alternatively we can simply re-schedule.
