Chelmsford Photography
Chelmsford, Essex and the surrounding areas
You're looking for a photographer to create timeless lifestyle images of this beautiful season of life for your family. Those static studio images are not really your style, you're looking for a more contemporary take on the living room gallery wall.
I specialise in contemporary family photography in Chelmsford and the surrounding areas, with a focus on the authentic emotions that a lifestyle photo session brings out. I have to admit, seeing my clients and their families time and time again is the best part of my job, and getting to witness how these emotions and relationships develop is the biggest honour as a photographer.
It's so rare to have a moment in the busyness of everyday life with little ones to just stop for a moment and enjoy the wonderful family and life we have created. A year passes and the children are that much bigger, the adults are a little more relaxed, life is mellower. Maybe a new sibling was added to the mix, perhaps an energetic dog too.
Let me help you hit pause on time and capture some memories to savour for years to come.
The Photosession Experience
In a world full of endless "To Do" lists, my aim is to make your family photo session experience as hassle-free as possible. Here's what happens
when you contact me:
01
Tell me about yourself
Fill out the contact form with the type of photo session you need (newborn, child, family) - I know how exciting planning a photoshoot is so I aim to respond within 24 hours. We will then discuss the different location options and find the one that suits you best - my cosy Studio, the privacy of your own home or an outdoor location from my handbook with photoshoot-worthy secluded spots.
Once the basics are out of the way, I will send you a short and sweet questionnaire with some questions about yourself and your preferences so that I can tailor the photo session to your unique family.
02
Planning the session
After you've told me all about your family (I'm such a sentimental person - I love hearing all about your families!), I will send you my Style Guide with helpful ideas for colour schemes and outfits for you and your family.
Now comes my favourite part - picking a wardrobe scheme for the session. As a former fashion photographer, I know that a beautiful image is 50% styling, which is why I offer a wardrobe with curated clothes for my clients.
You can request clothes from the wardrobe, wear your own or have a mix of both - it's up to you!
03
The day has come
It's the day of your photoshoot- so exciting! It's time to relax and enjoy our time together. On the day itself, I will help you feel at home in front of the camera by letting you be your wonderful selves whilst gently guiding you in order to achieve your desired result.
For optimum results I aim for at 1-1.5h of shooting time. This gives me plenty of time to create stunning images - although I swear it always goes by in a flash (yep, that's how much I love my job)!
04
The Result
Two weeks after your session, you will receive the full private viewing gallery with your edited photos. At this time you can chose your favourites and upgrade with any extra images you love.
Afterwards, I will send you the download link with your chosen portraits. Two to four weeks after, you will receive any prints you have chosen from our photoshoot in your post.

Q&A
Q: What should I wear?
As part of the photoshoot experience, you will receive my own 15-page Style Guide with examples of outfits, visual ideas and colour schemes to make sure you and your family will achieve that polished photo shoot look.
Q: What if the British weather doesn't agree with our scheduled session date?
Don't worry - I have specific backup days which are saved particularly for this case.
Q: I have more than one set of outfits planned for the family. Can we change them?
Yes, of course! For family photo shoots, I would recommend planning one change of outfits max though - we tend to get the most authentic images once we all get into the groove of the photoshoot, and because of this it's best to avoid stopping the flow unnecessarily.
