How It Works
BOOKING YOUR SESSION
Each July I run a morning of lavender mini sessions at the stunning Mayfield Lavender in Banstead in Surrey.
The sessions are suitable for families with children aged 6 months plus.
At the end of this page you can see the next dates and times and get in touch to book your session.
The lavender sessions can sell very quickly so it is best to book your session a few months in advance.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Before your session I’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire so that I can find out all about your family and tailor the shoot to you.
You’ll also receive my session guide packed with tips to help you feel prepared, including a guide to choosing your family’s outfits.
YOUR LAVENDER FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT
The day of your session has arrived!
On the day we’ll spend around 20 minutes together and I’ll capture you all together, in smaller groups, and your children on their own.
I’ll give you plenty of guidance about what to do as we move through the session, so you don’t need to worry about feeling awkward. And I’ll have plenty of games up my sleeve to keep little ones entertained.
VIEWING YOUR PORTRAITS
Two weeks after your session I’ll send you a link to a private online gallery where you can view the fully edited final images and choose which photographs you’d like to include in your package.
The gallery will be live for 7 days whilst you choose which photographs you’d like to have as prints. I’ll be on the end of the phone if you would like any help choosing your photographs or deciding how to display your new prints.
This is when you pay for the balance of your package. Once payment is received your digital images will be delivered within 24 hours and printed items will follow 4-6 weeks later.

When you book your mini session you will see that there is a backup date that we will reschedule your session to if the weather is so bad that we can’t go ahead. This is usually the day after your booked date.
In the run up to your mini session I’ll keep a close eye on the weather forecast, and I expect you might too! Regardless of what the forecast says, I won’t make any decisions until the evening before your shoot. The reason for this is that I find the forecast can change frequently over the course of a week, and a day that is forecast to be rainy in a week’s time, can often be forecast to be a lovely dry, sunny day once we reach the day before.
Yes. Each mini session package includes all of the images from your gallery as high resolution digital images.
In the run up to your mini session I’ll share lots of information to help you prepare – including some tips on what to wear.
This article may be helpful as you prepare:
I take your privacy very seriously, and will only publish pictures from your shoot in my online portfolios with your permission. If you do give permission the pictures are always shared anonymously (I would never share your or your children’s names.)
I will ask you about this when you book your session, and if you don’t want me to share the pictures from your session you can let me know then.
Yes, absolutely! I hear from lots of families who are getting the whole family together to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary and would like to use the opportunity to have some photographs taken.
In this situation my bespoke family sessions are a better fit. Please get in touch to have a chat about how this could work for your family. You can send me a message using the form at the end of this page, or give me a call on 07522 760530.
