What makes candid-style family photography different from traditional photography?
Candid-style family photography focuses on capturing natural, unposed moments that reflect your child's true personality and emotions. Unlike traditional photography, which often involves staged poses, candid-style photography aims to document genuine interactions and expressions, resulting in authentic and heartwarming images.

What can we expect during the photo session?
We understand every child is different, and we celebrate their individuality. Our customised photo sessions are thoughtfully designed to bring out the best in your child. Whether they are a bundle of energy, a little introvert, or a curious explorer, we adapt our approach to suit their unique traits, ensuring that the photographs encapsulate their true selves. During the photo session, we engage with your child in a friendly manner. We encourage them to be themselves, exploring their interests and activities while we discreetly capture those precious moments. Our goal is to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere that results in authentic and heartwarming photographs.

My child is quite shy and reserved. Will this affect the outcome of the candid-style photo session?
During the photo session, we take the time to interact with your child on a personal level, allowing them to gradually open up and showcase their unique personality. We approach each child with patience, understanding, and respect, ensuring that they never feel pressured to perform or behave in any specific way.

I'm worried that my child may not be on their best behavior during the photo session. How will you handle this situation?
We approach every session with patience and flexibility. During the photo session, we encourage your child to be themselves, allowing them to express their emotions freely. We believe that the best photographs often arise from natural interactions and genuine reactions. We find beauty in the genuine moments, even if they may not fit the traditional idea of "perfect" behaviour. Our mission is to capture the essence of your child, showcasing their unique personality and spirit.

What should we wear for the photo session?
We recommend dressing in comfortable clothing with similar styles and tones. Feel free to consult with us for personalised outfit suggestions that will complement the setting and your child's individuality.

How do we schedule a photo session with your studio?
Scheduling a photo session with us is easy. Simply reach out to us through our contact page or give us a call on 07988429660. We will assist you in selecting a suitable date and time for your family photography experience.

Where do the photo sessions take place?
Our candid-style photo sessions primarily take place at our well-equipped and child-friendly studio. However, we are open to discussing outdoor or location-based sessions if you have a specific vision in mind.

How soon can we expect to receive our photographs?
Within 1 week of the photo session we'll get you booking in for your reveal session to select your favourite images. After the viewing session, we will edit your chosen images ensuring they meet our highest quality standards. You can typically expect to receive your beautifully edited photographs within 1 to 2 weeks after the viewing session.
