WELCOME
I’M SO GLAD YOUR’E HERE!
With my outdoor family experience we create a fun, comfortable and safe environment for your family to really be yourselves. You can trust that I’ll guide you into flattering natural poses, while prompting the kids to do the things we want without them necessarily knowing.
My style focuses on capturing your family’s natural connection. Not a lot of directly looking at the camera and more of you being in the moment with your family. We can let the kids be themselves, so their personality is right there in a photo. You wouldn’t want to remember them at this age any other way.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

MEET EMILY
My love of photography began while living and travelling in Europe. What started as a way to document my travels evolved into a love of preserving people’s connections, emotions and life milestones.
As a mum of 3 incredible kids, I know the desire to want to hold onto every moment and milestone. Those baby stages feel long while your in them but before you know it they are all grown up and you are navigating a whole new stage of life. I know the importance of capturing time together, as you are today. I’m here for the fun, crazy and beautiful moments.
With over 12 years of experience I have refined my style into a balanced mix of guided poses and the vibrant spontaneity of lifestyle moments. I love to connect with people and create a space for everyone to feel comfortable with the beauty that is their family. It is my mission to give you images that are timeless and authentic.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Relax and enjoy each other – Think of this as family time, not just a photo shoot. Play, laugh, cuddle, explore.
- Candid and guided moments – I’ll give gentle direction so you look your best, but also step back to capture natural, in-between moments.
- Connection over perfection – Don’t worry about posing perfectly. It’s the love and bond between you that will draw you to your photos and make the images special.
HOW TO PREPARE
Once your session is booked in you will receive guidance from me including wardrobe choices and location ideas ( think golden glowing sunsets).
I have a few of my own go-to spots and a home studio, but if you have a location that’s significant to you, please let me know!
Once your booking is confirmed, I will send you my location and what to wear guide
DURING YOUR SESSION
I’m so excited to meet your family!
Outdoor sessions are relaxed, fun and full of natural moments. Here’s a guide to help you feel prepared and enjoy the experience. Your session will naturally unfold over approx 1.5 hours.
ON THE DAY
- Arrive feeling your best – Give yourself a little extra time so you’re not rushed.
- Hair & Makeup – Keep it natural if that feels like you or take the chance to get a little extra pampering. Either way, make sure you feel special.
- Kids being kids- Don’t stress if little ones are shy, wriggly or full of energy. The best photos often come from letting them just be themselves.
- Bring the essentials – A water bottle, snacks for the kids, maybe a favourite toy or blanket if it helps them feel comfortable.
- Weather & light- Outdoor sessions rely on natural light, so we’ll usually shoot around late afternoon/sunset for that beautiful soft glow. If the weather turns, we’ll make a new plan together.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Once we have completed the session I start the editing process. With a sneak peek from your session within 24 hours and the entire gallery will be delivered online within 2 weeks.
You will receive a link to your gallery via email and from there you can choose your favourite desired collection. Upgrades for packages are available any time and only the difference is payable. For package pricing see below.
You can also order prints from me, so please get in touch.
I HAVE A QUESTION!
Q: What happens if the weather is bad?
A: Don’t worry, I awlays keep an eye on the forecast. If it looks like rain or strong wind, we’ll decide together if we reschedule. Soft, overcast skies are actually beautiful for photos, so we often go ahead unless it’s wet or stormy.
Q: When is the best time of day for photos?
A: I recommend shooting around sunrise or sunset – often called the golden hour. The light is softer and more flattering, and it creates a gorgeous glow in your images. Midday light can be harsh, so I try to avoid that unless shade is available.
Q: What if my kids don’t cooperate?
A: That’s completely okay. Children don’t need to sit still or smile on command. Some of the best photos happen when they’re exploring, laughing or even being a little cheeky. I’ll guide gently but also let them be themselves.
Q: How long does the session take?
A: Outdoor family sessions usually take about 60-90 minutes. This gives plenty of time for kids to settle in, for us to explore the location and for a mix of both candid and guided shots.
Q: How many images will we receive?
A: This depends on the package you choose, but you’ll receive a beautiful gallery with a variety of images – both candid moments and more posed family portraits to choose from.
