Bu​ild Confidence

Having your photo taken can be a vulnerable and new ​experience for many people, but it doesn't have to be daunting. ​You are in safe hands with me. As a photography educator with ​over 20 years experience, I have spent much time learning how ​to make people feel confident and managing situations to ​ensure positive outcomes. I understand what it feels like to be ​self conscious in front of the lens and I will make sure you look ​your best.

I believe it is important to record the memories we make and ​that good photographs of ourselves can boost our confidence. ​Our memories fade, but our photographs will not. Together we ​will capture beautiful images for you to treasure​.

It’s time for ​something ​different

Portraits

"I wanted my first project as a model to be with someone I trusted, so I contacted Claire for a portfolio-building shoot. She guided me through everything while respecting my own preferences. I would not trade that experience for anything."

Empowerment

"I booked a shoot to help ​me feel better about ​myself and build my ​confidence. I'll be honest, b​efore the shoot I was n​ervous​ and "

Couples

'The photos Claire took are beautiful. We absolutely loved them. Thank you so much for clicking such lovely pictures'.

B​randing

‘Claire understood the brief ​perfectly. Our team are very ​camera shy and usually ​hate their photo being ​taken. Claire was sensitive ​an went at their pace, really ​bringing them out of their ​shell with lots of smiles along ​the way.’​

When will I get my photos?

Getting your photos back to you as quickly as possible is really important to me. I want you to still be buzzing from the experience as you open them. That's why many of my galleries are sent within a week or two of the photoshoot taking place. During busy periods this can be longer, but please know that behind the scenes I will be busy getting them ready for you!

What happens if it's raining?

If the weather will make for a more uncomfortable experience or negatively affect the photographs we were hoping to achieve, I will reschedule or cancel our session. Light rain and clouds can make for excellent images, don't let them put you off. We will make a plan together to ensure the photographs and experience are still epic and lots of fun!

Do I pay before or after?

A 50% retainer is due within 7 days of agreement of the photoshoot date to book it into my calendar. Full payment for the session is due 7 days before the photoshoot date. Mini Photoshoots are paid in full upon booking.

Are travel fees included?

Yes! Travel fees are included for all my mini shoots and packages within a 30 mile radius of Malmesbury, Wiltshire. This includes Bristol and many areas within Wiltshire and the Cotswolds. For further distances travel time and costs will be added onto the total package cost prior to invoice / payment.

What do I wear?

Ultimately, you feeling comfortable and confident is all that matters, but to help you make these important decisions I will send you a 'what to wear guide' before your photoshoot. I am on hand for you to send me photos of your outfit choices before your shoot too!

Will you share our photos?

As a photographer, growing my business depends on me being able to share my work. If you would prefer I didn't share your photos you can just let me know and these will stay private.

When is the best time for a photoshoot?

We can photo at all times of the day but the lighting will give very different effects within your photographs. If you're looking for glowy, soft light, an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset is the perfect time.

I am happy to advise you for the best time of your shoot depending on the effect you're looking for as well as thinking about what would work best for you and your family.

Can I add my own filters to the photos?

No. Your photographs are my art and you should only hire me if you like my style of editing. When you post to social media it is important that you maintain the quality and style of my original photographs.

Can I bring outfit changes?

Yes! You can bring as many outfit changes as you like, however time changing is included in your photoshoot slot. If you feel you need more time for your session to include more outfit changes, get in touch and we can make a plan.

What if I am late?

If you are late to your session your photoshoot can still go ahead but we will just have less time to shoot. Due to other photoshoot or personal obligations I may not be able to extend your photoshoot time.
