Session Guides & Information > Booking & Session Process
Booking. . .
Take a look at The Season Guide & Availability and Pricing & Packages to see which date and package suits you best - then get in touch.
I'll ask you to complete the Client Details Form with your family details and send your booking fee via bank transfer.
When your details form and booking fee are received, I'll send your receipt and booking confirmation with information about your session to your email address. At this point your session is officially booked!
Planning Your Perfect Session. . .
We'll decide on the perfect location for your session. This is often decided nearer your session time, so that I'm able to check out different areas of the countryside nearer the time and see what's happening. Different locations vary year-to-year and it can be impossible to know exactly what will be growing or how a location will look in advance. We'll also discuss use of props, clothing colours and any other preferences you have. Feel free to contact me at any time to discuss any queries you might have in the lead up to your session!

Session Day . . .
I know it can be a daunting experience waiting for your first session, but my sessions are relaxed and informal, so try not to worry. At your session I will ask you to check your details on my booking form and sign this and a basic photography contract. I'll also show you some examples of products and packages. The balance payment of your package is due on your session date.
Your Proof Gallery. . .
Your private proof gallery will be sent out to you within a week of your session. This gallery contains the best images (around 35) from your session as unedited proofs, with a selection of edited examples, so that you can see how your images look when finished.
The gallery will remain open for 1 week for you to choose your package-inclusive images/products, change to a larger package, or order additional items separately.

Ordering. . .
Order your digital images, prints and products.
Each of your chosen images is lovingly hand-edited; first processed from its Raw file, before skin touch-up, colour cast removal, natural teeth whitening, detail enhancement, natural eye enhancement, shadow & highlight correction, removal of any background or foreground distractions and beautiful, natural colour enhancements. For some sessions there will be some extra editing such as magic faerie lights, fairy wings, or falling leaves.
Your chosen images are provided to you in beautiful high resolution, and you'll received both a colour and a black and white version of each digital file.
Just get in touch with your image selection or any queries you may have about package upgrades etc.

Receiving Your Beautiful Memories. . .
Hand editing is the only way to get the very best results for your portraits. I don't batch-edit or cut corners, so it is a time consuming process; I advise clients to allow a month to receive their orders, although this will often be sooner.
I will let you know when your order is ready, and you can choose to either collect in person or sent via post.
