Your Art, Chosen in the Moment: A Unique Approach to Your Viewing

Imagine this: while I capture the magic of your family’s photoshoot, you follow along in real time on a tablet. See each beautiful frame as it’s created, smile at the genuine moments, and instantly note your absolute favourites. This is not a standard process; it’s my unique approach designed for your convenience and joy.

The Key Difference: No Second Appointment, No Waiting, No Guesswork.

Unlike traditional studios that schedule a separate viewing appointment weeks later, we finalise everything immediately. By the time we put the camera down, you already know which images have stolen your heart. There’s no need to set aside another hour to travel back to the studio and make rushed decisions from memory. Your emotional connection to the photos is at its peak right now. This seamless flow from creation to selection is what makes the experience truly bespoke.

Your Instant Journey from Capture to Choice:

Capture & View Live: Photoshoot begins. You relax and participate as you watch the gallery grow on the tablet.

Select in Real Time: As we work, you mark the images that speak to you. No pressure, just pure preference.

Finalise & Order: At the end of the session, we review your marked favourites together. You know exactly how many images you love and can immediately choose beautiful artwork for your home. The entire creative journey from the first click to the final order is completed in a single, seamless experience.

A Little Prep for a Perfect Result

To make the most of this immediate selection, a small preparation beforehand helps you envision the final art: Where Will Your Portraits Shine Brightest? (Think Ahead!)

Take a mental stroll through your home before the shoot:

The living room or kitchen? A timeless family portrait to be admired by all undefined
Your little one’s nursery? Their first photographs, framed in elegant simplicity.
The grand staircase? A stunning gallery wall that tells your story.

Tip: Glance at the product section on my website beforehand. Seeing the beautiful albums and framed artwork will inspire you when it’s time to choose.

Seamless & Sophisticated:
Your Journey Concludes with a Simple, Transparent Payment

Your experience is designed to be as effortless and clear as the moment a perfect photograph is captured.

Our Clear Two-Stage Payment Process

Stage 1: The Session Fee & Reservation

To secure your photoshoot date and my undivided attention, a non-refundable session fee of £99 is paid upon booking. This investment reserves your time in my diary and covers our collaborative pre-session planning and photo session itself, but does not include any final digital images or artwork.

Stage 2: Your Personalised Artwork Order

This is where your choices come to life. Immediately after we review your selections, you pay for:

The exact number of photographs that captured your heart. Each will be lovingly retouched and delivered as high-resolution digital files within 14 days.

Any beautiful artwork for your home, be it a fine art album, a framed portrait for the nursery, or a gallery wall for the hallway.

As a thank-you for trusting me with your memories, a personal discount is applied to the total of your final artwork order. My discount structure is especially generous for larger collections, making it even more rewarding to create a complete gallery for your home.

The Best Part! No Waiting to Relive the Magic.

On the very same day, literally within an hour of finalising your choices, you will receive a private link to the unedited, selected images you have paid for. These are the beautiful files captured with perfect light and composition, already looking stunning on their own. This allows you to immediately relive the joy and share those first genuine moments with loved ones, while the final, polished artwork is crafted with care over the following two weeks.

How Can You Pay?

For your complete convenience, I accept:

Cash (the classic choice)

Bank Transfer (for those who prefer digital ease)

A Final Thought on Your Images

Because we make decisions together on the spot, I only archive the images you choose and purchase for production. This ensures your gallery is a perfect, curated collection of your very best moments.

Arrive ready to be present, to connect, and to watch your family’s story unfold through the lens. I’ll handle the rest, seamlessly, so you can soak in every second.
