Style

  • I’m a lover of neutral colours, and find these look best in photoshoots!
  • Don’t be affraid to get dressed up! But make sure you’re comfortable and confident in what youre wearing - If something is bothering you, let me know and we can work on it together.
  • Stay away from logos/brands/character tops - yes they make look lovely, but they can be quite distracting in a photo
  • Texture is always beautiful to add to an outfit!


what to bring

  • Layers! tops, jumpers, coats. It is the British weather after all! Also, it helps give a bit of variety in clothes with changing them around during the shoot
  • Blankets - Not absolutely required, but it means you can have somewhere nice to sit for some photos, without getting your beautiful clothes dirty.
  • Snacks - A Must for little ones to keep them engaged (Also great for bribing them when they start to get restless!)
  • Soothers/toys for babies & kids



If you’re planning on bringing a dog with you, make sure you have some treats hidden in your pockets - you’ll most likely be behind me bribing them with said treats!
