The perfect time of year for your session   

{The Season Guide}

Family, child, maternity and birthday sessions are available year-round.
​Newborn sessions are available during the warmer months, between mid-April and late September.

​Don't worry about rain - if your session day turns out to be a rainy one, we'll reschedule to the next suitable day.

Just let me know which month you'd like to book for and I'll let you know which dates are available

Locations

Most locations are not disclosed on the website but are discussed during booking, but all are around the Dunstable area and surrounding villages;
Autumn, Winter, Early Spring and Bluebells sessions take place in local woodland.
Late Spring and Summer sessions take place out in the local open countryside - the exact location for these is usually decided close to your session date, so that I can have a look around and see what's happening with the landscapes nearer the time. Lavender sessions all take place at Hitchin Lavender Farm in July.
