Questions
What style of photography do you specialise in?
We focus on natural, authentic imagery using minimalist styling. Sessions prioritise genuine expressions and interactions over posed shots, with neutral tones and simple backdrops to highlight your family's unique character.
How long do photography sessions typically last?
Newborn sessions take 2-3 hours with breaks for feeding and settling. Family portraits last 1-1.5 hours. We work at your child's pace with no strict time limits to ensure comfort and quality results.
What should we wear for our photo session?
We recommend simple natural colours like white, beige, and soft greys. Avoid bold patterns or logos. Coordinate outfits within family groups while ensuring comfort for active children. Guidance provided upon booking.
When will we receive our photographs?
You'll receive a private online gallery link 1-2 weeks after your session. This contains carefully edited images for selection, with no pressure to purchase additional products beyond your chosen favourites.
Can we bring our own props or toys?
While we provide a range of neutral props, you're welcome to bring meaningful personal items. Please discuss in advance to ensure they complement our studio style and lighting conditions for optimal results.
How do you handle difficult moments during sessions?
Tantrums and tiredness are normal - we build flexibility into all sessions. Lydia uses playful engagement techniques and takes breaks as needed. The studio environment allows children to explore safely while capturing candid moments.
