FAMILY SESSION PRICING

When you’re investing in professional portraits of the most precious people in your life, I know you’ll want to be sure that you’re choosing the best photographer for your family.

Family life can be hectic, so I keep everything relaxed and easy for you. I’ve photographed hundreds of families and will guide you through every step so that you feel prepared for your session, have a relaxed and enjoyable experience on the day and have beautiful ways to enjoy your photographs afterwards. 

I also have a promise of clear and transparent pricing – no hidden costs or nasty surprises. You can find full pricing information for family sessions below.

SESSION FEE AND PRODUCT PRICING

There are two stages to paying for your photographs:

Step One: When you book your session you pay a session fee. This fee secures your session time in my diary, and includes your telephone consultation, preparation emails and phone calls, professional editing and retouching of the best photographs from the session and an online viewing where you can see the final images and place your order.

Step Two: When you view the photographs after your session you have the option to purchase high resolution digital files to print yourself, or to choose from a carefully curated range of fine art prints, wall art and albums. This means you can choose exactly the right product or combination of products for your family. I also offer three family collections which include the most popular digital and print products with significant savings.

SESSION FEES

The session fee for a family session is £250.

This session fee is payable when you book your session and includes:

  • a telephone consultation with me so that we can plan your session, and tailor it to your family.
  • Your family session in a beautiful outdoor location within Surrey or SW London.
  • professional editing and retouching of the photographs from your session.
  • a private, online viewing where you can see your beautiful photographs and place your order.
 

The session fee doesn’t include any digital images, prints or products; these are purchased afterwards at your online viewing appointment. You don’t need to commit to any packages or products until you’ve seen your photographs. 

If you’re just looking for a small number of new photographs you may find that my  mini sessions are a better fit. You can read about mini sessions here.

You’re also welcome to add professional makeup to your session. Prices start from £80 per person.

DIGITAL IMAGES & PRINT PRODUCTS

At your viewing appointment you’ll have the option to purchase high resolution digital files to print yourself, or to choose from a carefully curated range of fine art prints, museum quality wall art and albums that make stunning family heirlooms. 

I also offer three family collections which include a combination of the most popular digital and print products with significant savings.

You can see all of the collections and individual products available to purchase, and their prices below.
