How your photo session unfolds
Emily Carter
Session Lead Photographer
"My aim is to make every client feel at home, enjoy the creative process, and leave with images they feel truly represent them. Photography should be a collaborative, uplifting experience from start to finish."
Step one
Initial consultation
We begin by discussing your ideas, preferences, and any reference images you like. This foundation sets the session’s creative direction and builds trust.
Step two
Session planning
Together, we fine-tune details such as wardrobe, backdrops, and timing. We welcome your thoughts to personalise every aspect of your shoot.
Step three
Photo session day
On the day, you’ll arrive at our welcoming studio. We guide you through poses and capture both candid and composed moments at your pace.
Step four
Post-session review
You’re encouraged to preview select shots and offer feedback. This ensures the outcomes meet your expectations before final edits begin.
Step five
Retouch & delivery
Final images are lovingly edited for a polished yet natural finish, then delivered digitally for you to enjoy and share as you wish.
