Family Sessions

You know those tender moments with your kids that make your heart feel like it could burst?

Those are the magical, fleeting instants you wish you could somehow freeze in time forever. The ordinary days of raising children can often feel frazzled and chaotic, but it's those miraculous little whispers of love that make it all worth it a million times over.

While I may not have the power to literally bottle those emotional snapshots of life, I can try to preserve the very essence of those heart-melting feelings. So every time you gaze upon the photos, they'll sweep you back into the blissful folds of your purest love and connection as a family.

Whoever and wherever you are on your journey, your family's story is beautiful. I can't wait for you to invite me in to celebrate and cherish it, together.

Learn more about Family Sessions

  • Let's begin our journey together with a consultation, where we’ll talk about your dreams regarding the session, what you’d like to get out of it, your family and all sorts of other things that will enable me to give you the most amazing experience. I’ll also leave you with the styling guide to make the preparations as anxiety-free as possible!

    On our adventure day, we may wander through wide open spaces, forest, walk by the river, you name it! Let's chase that puddle-jumping delight and bottle up those sibling silly faces. Wherever your family's unique personalities lead, I'll follow, framing those irreplaceable in-between moments. With gentle guidance when needed, you'll feel at ease being yourselves while I capture your family's authentic spirit.

    Within 2 weeks after the session, we will meet again for an in-person viewing and selection. As a keepsake, you'll receive five beautifully edited high-resolution digital images with a print release - allowing you to adorn your walls with gorgeous family artwork forever freezing those fleeting moments in time.

    And just for you...a special little gift awaits, my heartfelt celebration of your family bond.

“Natalia is a fantastic photographer & a wonderful director who achieved beautiful photos of us as a couple. She was really friendly. We’d thoroughly recommend her, as we preferred the more natural style of photographs, which were able to capture our perfect moments!”

FAQs

  • Once we've penciled in the date for your session, the fun truly begins! We'll collaborate on all the details like choosing the perfect location and session time, and selecting everyone's outfits. This allows you to relax and focus solely on enjoying quality time together while I capture those precious memories.

    Part of my personalised full-service experience includes a comprehensive online styling guide to spark inspiration. My goal is to ensure you and your loved ones look and ‘feel themselves’ in front of the camera!

  • That's the magic of lifestyle photography! I can assure you I won’t ask you to stand straight and grin at the camera! That’s not my bun!

    We’ll go with the flow and embrace whatever mood and energy the day brings, no matter what. We’ll savour cosy moments, have fun, giggle and the like.

    My role is to gently guide you through fun activities and give prompts that are tailored just for you. That’s why we speak on the phone, or better meet up beforehand, so I have a feel for what your family is like!

    Every family is unique, and I'm here to meet you wherever you're at for that day. Remember, I want to capture the authentic, heartwarming connections. It’s about the uncripted beauty, not the perfection!

  • Transparency is important to me, which is why I want you to feel fully informed every step of the way - especially when it comes to pricing. I believe in clear, upfront policies with absolutely no hidden costs or surprises.

    You'll never encounter sneaky session fees or be required to purchase any minimum products with me. My goal is to provide exceptional value while making this a stress-free investment.

    To give you an idea, most clients typically invest between £500-£1,500 for their FULL experience. But there's no one-size-fits-all pricing - we'll have an open discussion to create a customised collection that brings your unique vision to life within your family's budget.

    At the end of the day, you should feel empowered to make the choices that are right for you. I'm simply here to deliver beautiful, heartfelt portraits you'll cherish forever, with no gimmicks attached. Just honesty, amazing imagery, and an incredibly fun time together!

  • We will have a viewing session within 2 weeks after the shoot. This will give you a chance to select your favourite images and any products like frames or prints should you pick any. From that moment, it will take me up to 2 weeks to deliver the final version of your images and to order any purchased products.

    If you’re pushed for time and need your images quicker, let me know and I’ll advise you on my ‘rush fee.’

  • Providing you with ultimate flexibility and freedom is very important to me. I never want you to feel pressurised to purchase prints or frames or any other product for a certain amount. Instead, I'm here to serve your needs and desires for how to celebrate your beautiful portraits.

    If you'd like, I'm more than happy to professionally print your images through my skilled lab partners who produce the highest quality archival prints and products. However, if you’d rather receive high-resolution digital files and print them out yourself, you can make that choice.

    My role is to deliver you a wonderful photo session experience and my goal is making this an easy, enjoyable process customised to your preferences. Your vision, your portraits, your way!

  • I do offer seasonal mini sessions for things like bluebells, rapeseed, flowers in the meadow etc. These shorter sessions are great for getting a few new images that you want to, for instance, put in the Christmas cards! However, they don't provide the same extensive experience as a full length session. To stay in the loop on mini session dates, be sure to join my mailing list. That way you'll hear first when those limited spots open up!
