FAQ

When should I have my maternity photo session?

The ideal time is between 28–34 weeks, when bump is lovely and round but you're still feeling fairly comfortable. If you're expecting twins or would simply prefer to schedule earlier for personal reasons, that's absolutely fine, we'll time it to suit you best.

For pregnancy announcement sessions, whenever feels right for you!

How long will it take to get my images?

Turnaround time is usually 1–4 weeks, depending on my editing queue.

If you have booked a package where you choose your favourite 10 or 30 images, you’ll then receive a water-marked preview gallery of the edited images to pick your favourites. I’ll email over your final, downloadable gallery when you have chosen your images.

If your package includes all the best images, I’ll edit them and email over a link to your full gallery ready to download in that same timeframe.

Do you photograph weddings?

Weddings aren’t something I usually take on, but never say never. On rare occasions, I make an exception. If enquiring please include in your email the date, location and time of your wedding.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, I take a £30 deposit to book a date.

It's okay if the date needs to be approximate sometimes, for newborns for example. I always do my best to be flexible.

The remaining balance is then due 48 hours prior to your session.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes! I hate to think of anyone missing out on capturing special memories because of money. If paying in instalments works best for you then that's fine by me.

Payment can be split into 3 equal amounts over 3 months prior to your session.

The full amount must still have been paid prior to your session date.

If you will require a payment plan please mention this at the time of booking.

Where will the photo session be?

I shoot around the Sudbury area. My travel radius is reasonably small right now, as I have a little one I need to be close by for. For travel 30 minutes outside of Sudbury I have a small travel fee.

There are several local parks and nature reserves I regularly use, with good parking and nearby toilets. Or some secluded fields and hills that can be a bit more of a trek! But might be worth it for that privacy, peace or perfect meadow.

If you have any special requirements, please mention this when booking and I can make sure to suggest appropriate locations.

Can I have the raw images?

I don’t provide raw, unedited images. Raw files are unfinished, and a large part of the creative process happens during editing. Shaping the colour, light, and tone to tell your story as beautifully as possible.

The photographs you receive are carefully selected and thoughtfully edited to reflect my style and to honour your memories.
