Your sitter photo shoot guide
|
Thank you for booking your sitter photo shoot with me!
This guide should give you all the information you need to prepare for the photo shoot, what happens during and after the session - and should hopefully answer any questions you may have, but do feel free to contact me if there is anything you're not sure of! Booking – Please contact me as soon as baby is able to sit unaided to book your photo shoot with me, as some babies transition from sitting to crawling very quickly, so in order to capture this time it’s important you book early on, we can always tweak the date if needed. |

Parking –
As I use my home as a studio this is in a residential area with plenty of free parking outside the house – the address is
95 The Ridgeway, Marlow, Bucks SL7 3LH.
What to wear -
This really is up to you and you are more than welcome to bring along a couple of outfit changes for your little one.
Scratches and marks –
Lots of babies get scratches, dry skin and marks on their delicate skin. Don’t worry, this is all dealt with in the editing room.
Props –
I have a variety of props/backgrounds to use and try to keep the colours neutral and natural, in order that they will always match your home colour scheme. If you would like to bring along a blanket or teddy that is particularly important to you then we will try to incorporate this in some of the shots at the end of the photo shoot.
Model Release Form
Upon arrival and before the shoot starts you will be asked to complete a Child Image Release Form, and agree to my T&C’s (which can be found on the website), which gives your permission for me to photograph your child and provides me with your details (address, email etc) for future contact and to send over your gallery.
Session fees –
The session fee is £59 and includes the session (which lasts around 1 hour) use of props and a fully edited gallery of images to view online after the photo shoot. You then have the choice of three Collections to choose from - details are on my website. Once you have decided on your Collection you can then choose a product to display your images in, but this is entirely optional.
Refreshments –
In order to protect babies I do not provide any hot beverages, however, I do provide water in abundance as the room does get warm! Please feel free to bring along your own drinks and snacks if you would prefer.
Duration –
Please allow up to one hour for your Sitter session. Babies can be very unpredictable and I like to allow plenty of time to create those precious memories, but they normally let us know once they have had enough!
Preparation –
A few tips to help your shoot go as smoothly as possible:
~ Please bring along a couple of outfits for baby to wear, ideally ones with little or no pattern. The key with the shoots is variety so we will try as many sets ups/outfits/poses as possible in order to give you as many images to choose from in your gallery – but no socks to be put on the baby please, to avoid marks
~ Try to feed your baby before arrival at the photo shoot, bring along plenty of spare milk if applicable, and we are breastfeeding friendly – but please avoid any snacks that may stain the baby’s face.
~ If it is at all possible do let them sleep before they come so they are feeling their brightest!
~ The room will be warm so you should wear layers so as not to feel too hot.
~ If the baby needs a dummy/pacifier then DO have this to hand during the shoot.
After the photo shoot -
Between 1-2 weeks after the photo shoot I send you a password protected online gallery for you to view. You can then make your order whereby payment is required upfront. Orders can take up to 14 days to arrive ready for collection.
