Family and Children photography can be done either in a studio style setting or location. Location unless an already organised location by the photography for example Lavender fields, will need to be discussed in advance. These organised shoot are longer sessions and more flexiable in time than the pre organised location.
Please tell the photography what styles you like in advance via email. Studio style photographers tend to be more posed while location tend to be more natural, catching the family interacting with each other and the enviroment .
Mobile phones, cameras, tablets and devices which can take images and videos
Other then the photographer's equipment, camera, phone, laptop etc. No-one else is allowed to take images and videos during the session. Therefore I ask these personal devices are to be turned off and out of arms reach during the session or locked away. If you are seen taking images or videos the session will stop and you will be asked to delete all images and videos you have taken and show the photographer you have done this. Failing to do this means the session will be terminated and no refund given. Please repect photographers copyright, this practice is acrossed photography buisnesses nation wide.
Editing
I edit the images myself after the photography sessions. This takes time, I do not use filters as I like making the skin look as natural as possible. Extreme touch up and changes may concure additional charges. The main editing in Family & Children Photography session is colour balance, light balance and sharpening the images, bluring backgrounds where needed and small skin tidy ups like scratches and acne.
When will you expect recieve the images
I will email you a private link to a see only files of the unedited images taken from the shoot for you to choose from. Your selection then will be edited. This can take upto 3 weeks. These will then be sent to you via a private link to download or on a USB stick.

You will recieve full sized images. One copy for social media 78 dpi and the other copy of the same image 300 dpi for printing
Black and White images
If the style of the image sorts a black and white image, you will recieve this image as well.
CAN WE USE THE IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Yes of course! if sharing on soical media please can you add a link to my website or Facebook or other social media links. I would really appreciate this as being self employed I rely on word of mouth so I would be delighted if you shared your photos.
How long the photographer keeps the images for
Unless you have given permission for the photographer to use the images (images used on websites and social media may result in a particle shoot refund or a free mini photoshoot etc, these offers are down the photographers discretion). The images are only kept for 60 days, after this time the photographer deletes them permanently.
