Every session, on a set built for it
Thirteen services, from the bump through to the wedding. The themed baby work is what we are known for; the ceremony and wedding coverage is planned with the same care. Where a session would be better booked later — or not at all — we say so.
Four stages behind every booking
The same four stages whether it is a newborn session or a three-day wedding. Only the scale changes.
Set design
Working out what the set should be. Theme, palette, props and staging chosen for the child's age and for what is actually safe and practical at that stage — agreed with you before anything is built.
Set build
Constructing and lighting the set the day before your session. Props sourced or handmade per theme, and nothing recycled from the booking before yours with different bunting attached.
The session
A photographer and a dedicated handler, a generous slot, and a schedule built around nap times rather than around our calendar. If it is not working, we stop and rebook.
Editing & delivery
Culling, grading and light retouching in our house style, delivered to a private gallery with no watermarks on the previews and no upsell wall between you and your own photographs.
Where most of the work actually goes
Not the session. The session is an hour or two; the design and the build take considerably longer, and they are what decide whether the photographs are any good. A set that is thrown together on the morning looks exactly like a set that was thrown together on the morning, no matter who is holding the camera. It is also why we cannot take a themed booking for tomorrow, however much we would like the work.

What actually happens next
No deposit before you have seen the concept, and no pressure to decide on the call.
A message, not a sales call
You tell us the occasion, the child's age and roughly when. We tell you whether the timing works — including when the honest answer is that you should book later, or sooner.
The concept
We agree the theme, palette and prop plan, and send it to you before you commit. If an idea will not work at your child's age, you hear that now rather than on the day.
The date, held properly
Newborn slots are held against a due date rather than a fixed day. Milestone plans are held by developmental stage. Both move at short notice without a fee.
After the session
A private gallery with full personal-use rights. Albums and prints if you want them, with a proofing round first. We ask separately, in writing, before publishing any image.
Not sure which of these you need?
Describe the occasion and your child's age rather than the service name. We will tell you which of these fits, and which you can skip.
