Bespoke
family shoots
Bespoke family shoots fit your family and your schedule. The longer shoot time we can include more people, more locations and more variety of photos.
my
photography style
I love beautiful backdrops in my photography - be that a stylish living room in Manchester or a forest location in Cheshire.
My natural and environmental photography style combines traditional portraits with more candid off-script moments.
your choice
of location
Choose the perfect location for your family.
We can start the shoot at your home and then travel to an outdoor location later on - or spend the whole shoot time outdoors if you prefer.
no-stress promise
Client often say they were surprised how relaxed and enjoyable their shoot was.
Before the shoot I make the effort to find out about each child, and this makes a big difference. At the shoot we also spend a lot of time chatting and moving around to keep it fun!

I’ve been shooting outdoors for over a decade so I’m used to planning around the British weather!
If you are a family that has very little availability I am happy to set both a shoot date and backup date, at no extra charge.
We don’t need sunshine - cloudy days give us great light - however I don’t shoot in the rain. You might be surprised to learn that don’t actually need to reschedule all that often as I’m so used to juggling forecasts, and only schedule one Bespoke shoot each day - so I can often find a window of weather.
We can shoot at your home, which is great especially if you a baby or very young children. If you have a large house with lots of light, or large garden/land it can be great to shoot at home. Home is a place significant to children and is meaningful in photos in years to come.
Some people prefer an outdoor location to incorporate the beautiful landscape around us. Often I will ask if there is a location significant to your family, or I have a list of locations with lots of variety.
If you live near a suitable location, we may have time to do a bit of both - home and outdoors.
Bespoke shoots are suitable for extended families - ie. if you want to include grandparents, aunts, uncles and/or cousins. However bear in mind that the more people we include, the less variety we will achieve.
The shoot is designed around you, so if you want to achieve a large family group shot, we pick a location to suit.
On the other hand, if you are a one-child family, we have time to get a large range of shots - from individual portraits, family groups, and both formal and more playful shots - as well as a variety of locations.
