About Me & FAQ
About Me & FAQ
A little bit about me.

My name is Kassie and i'm an all-round family photographer. I have been based in Berkshire but I am now serving Derbyshire

I have over 12 years of photography experience, specialising in newborn and family photography. I am a mum of two. I am DBS checked. I have qualifications in peadiatric first aid, anti-discrimination, child safety welfare and have over 10 years of experience working in primary schools with children with additional needs.

     A little bit about what I do.


I am a mobile photographer      and bring my studio to the comfort of your own home. I feel that home-based photography creates the best smiles and a more fun and natural atmosphere. Your children will feel more at ease and confident in their own home which is one the most important factors to a successful session.
 

 

F.A.Q.

 

How much space do you need to set up?

I can fit in most empty spaces in a home. That could be kitchen, dining room or living room. I would always recommend a 3m floor space for the best posing positions.

 

How much are the extra photos?

All sessions include 2 free images. All additional images are £4.90 but are completely optional.

 

Do you travel to...?

I am based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Please see below for travel charges. Any other postcodes have a travel charge of 40p per mile. I will quote this for you when you contact me
GREEN - FREE
BLUE - £5
ORANGE - £8
PURPLE - £10
RED - £10
YELLOW - £12


 

When should I book my newborn session?

I book a limited number of sessions each month so that that each client receives my personal attention. To ensure your desired session time, please contact me as soon as you know you would like to book a newborn session. I will pencil your due date onto my calendar upon booking. You will then contact me when your baby arrives to schedule your session.

 

When will my session take place?

I prefer to photograph newborns when they are less than two weeks old, with the ideal range between 7-10 days. This is when babies are sleepiest and easiest to photograph.

 

My baby is already born. Is it too late to schedule a newborn session? 

No! While I generally book newborn sessions many months in advance, given the necessarily fluid nature of scheduling newborn sessions, I sometimes have last-minute openings. Moreover, while I recommend that newborn sessions take place during the first two weeks of life, I am always happy to photograph older newborns with the understanding that it may not be possible to achieve the type of images that work with a very young newborn.

 

Where will my newborn session take place?

All newborn sessions take place in your home.

 

How long will my newborn session last?

Newborn sessions are 90 minutes long.

 

What can I expect from my session? 

My newborn sessions are unique because I capture both documentary images along with a few more traditional posed images of your newborn. When I arrive at your house I will assess the lighting and determine the best locations for photos. The baby’s needs then dictate the flow of the session.

 

What can I do to help my session go smoothly?

The most important thing you can do is relax. Beyond that, I recommend that you try to keep your newborn awake for an hour prior to the session, and that you feed your baby just prior to my arrival. If you are breast feeding, it is best to keep a bottle of expressed milk on hand for use during the session. Pacifiers are also extremely helpful for allowing me to calm your baby during the session.

 

Do you include family photos with a newborn session?

Yes, unless you request otherwise, I always aim to capture images of newborns with their parents and siblings. However, please keep in mind that young siblings (under 4) may not want to be photographed with their new brother or sister. I will do my best to capture images of your newborn with their toddler or pre-school aged sibling.

 

What should we wear?

Simple is best. I photograph newborns wearing nothing at all or with minimal clothing. If you have special outfits you would like your newborn to wear, I am happy to accommodate, but keep in mind that numerous clothing changes can be disruptive to newborns. I recommend that the rest of the family wear clothing that coordinates without matching exactly. Children should wear clothes that they like and in which they are comfortable, although it is generally best to avoid busy patterns and logos. I’m happy to work with you to select clothing for your session, and will also accommodate clothing changes if you’d like a variety of looks.

 

Do you bring props to the session?

I photograph newborns with minimal props, and I prefer any props to be objects that have special meaning to you. Please let me know if you have any personal items you’d like to incorporate. Safety always comes first, so I don’t photograph babies in glass bowls or in positions that could be harmful. That said, I do bring a selection of blankets, knit hats, and headbands.

 

How many proofs can I expect to receive, and when will I receive my proofs?

You will receive at least 20 images in your gallery, often more. It will take me between 7-10 days to edit your images after your session date.

 

Do you photograph in both colour and black and white?

Yes. However, unless you request otherwise, the proofs in your gallery will be shown in a variety of styles but can be altered to you taste.

 

Do you sell printed photos?

No, I currently offer only digital packages, which may be printed by you at your local superstore or online as you are purchasing the 'full rights' to your images.

 

How long do you retain the digital negatives for my images?

Any unordered images will be deleted 3 months after your order is finalised.
