My Approach

I believe the best portraits happen when people feel comfortable being themselves. My approach combines professional lighting and direction with a relaxed atmosphere, creating images that feel authentic rather than forced.

How Booking Works

1. Get in touch

Tell me what you’re looking for, including the type of photography, preferred date, location and any ideas you have.

I’ll then discuss your requirements, availability and the most suitable package.

2. Choose your session

Every shoot is tailored to the person or organisation being photographed.

Whether it’s a graduation celebration, a personal portrait, or images that represent your business, I’ll work with you to create photographs that feel authentic and professional.

3. Secure your booking

A 50% deposit of the total booking fee is required to secure your date.

Your booking is confirmed once the deposit has been received and the details of your session have been agreed.

4. The photography session

I aim to create a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I’ll provide guidance with posing, expression and positioning while allowing space for natural moments and personality to come through.

5. Editing and delivery

After your session, your images are carefully selected and professionally edited.

Your final images will be delivered through a private online gallery within the agreed timeframe.

What You Receive

All packages include professionally edited high-resolution digital images.

Images are carefully selected to represent the best work from your session. The final gallery does not include every photograph taken.

You’ll receive:

• High-resolution edited images

• Private online gallery

• Professional colour correction and retouching

Proof Galleries & Image Selection

For packages where clients choose images:

Some sessions include a private proof gallery. Proof images are provided to help you select your favourites and are not finished photographs.

Final images are professionally edited before delivery.

The proof gallery is a gallery of images with a watemark for preview purposes only.

Image Delivery

Final images are usually delivered within 3–5 working days for Indicivual Portrait Sessions, unless otherwise agreed.

Further discussion might be needed depending on the job.

Copyright & Usage
