THE FINE ART FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER FOR SUSSEX, KENT AND SURREY
Crafting the love for your family into art for your space
FACILITATING HEARTFELT MEMORIES FOR BUSY FAMILIES THROUGH CONNECTION, patience and compassion
I IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE TO BE IN THEM
This is for the families who never have a moment to breathe, let alone contemplate a photography session. It’s for those who may have had a newborn shoot, but since then it’s just felt too much to organise anything. Nursery or school send home a few little white background headshots, they’re not great, but they’ve become the only printed photos you and the Grandparents really have on their shelves.
This is for the families whose only really nice photos are holiday snaps and they’re on your phone waiting to be lost when you lose or break it! You’re certainly not all in any one image altogether unless the waiter took it peeping over empty glssses and crumpled serviettes.
This is for the families who have suddenley realised your youngest is soon leaving the nest to go to University and you have nothing wall worthy to remind you of your family as it was before it everything moved on to the next phase again. Only this phase is the biggest of all and they may never be back properly.
Life feels far from perfect, but you love your family more than anything in the world and its you guys, your little unit and you’re Goddam proud of them.
When I see your images
WHY CHOOSE NIC AS YOUR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER?
I work with families who want images worthy of display in your home. Pictures all the family will love when they grow up or return to the family nest from Uni, a year down the line. Images that are styled, but relaxed. No silly angles, no selfie pouts, not caught unprepared with a skirt flying or hair covering half your faces. Happy, laughing, thoughtful or warm eyes – I’ll take them all. I aim for connection, not just between you guys, but with me so that when you look back at those images you’ll see right into your souls and be taken instantly back to that moment when you were together.
I have over ten years of experience photographing your family together with a level of perfection in my images and guidance for a finished product that is pretty unique locally.
Have an anxious, SEN, or resistant family member but still want superior images?
This is absolutely my mission! I have an affinity with anxious parents with tricky toddlers and and moody teens. I’ve been there myself and I’ve worked with countless personalities over the years so you can be assured you will be put at ease; your little ones will feel special and your big ones cool and grown up.
This is a moment to stop, to breath, to take in your surroundings and and each other and be proud of all you’ve achieved and who you guys really are. You’ll be well looked after and I bet you find yourself actually looking back on the experience with a warm glow inside.
Nic is a great professional and we now have a treasure chest of glorious images to savour over the years.

I’d love a session for my family!
The portrait session with Nic was fantastic! She made everything relaxing and enjoyable. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire process. The photos are of very high quality. We especially like the brilliant composition and color palette.

TESTIMONIALS
Nic is amazing, she was so patient with my 2year old son who just loves to run about and explore. She managed to capture the most stunning photos of him and myself which will be treasured forever. I highly recommend her.
I was more than delighted with the photos that Nic took of my daughter and two dogs. Nic was unbelievably patient and took some wonderful photos. The big canvas that she had made up for me looks stunning at the top of our stairs. If you are looking for some good photographs I cannot recommend Nic highly enough.
Thank you again to Nic for taking some beautiful pictures of our girls. She even managed to capture some of my Mum who dislikes having her photograph taken! It is evident how much work she puts into her shoots, from the planning and preparation to the editing afterwards. Thank you again for producing photographs which we will treasure forever.
Nic is amazing! Our photos are absolutely stunning, so much so that I cried when I saw them. I will treasure them forever. Amazing to find a photographer who is equally wonderful with human and animal subjects! Thank you Nic! xxx
Nic has once again given us some beautiful images – she managed to create magic from a walk that we do often, but never looks as beautiful in my photos – and all with an ageing, less pliant retriever, a jetlagged teenager and my husband who doesn’t really like having his photo taken! Highly recommend her for her professionalism and dedication to making the whole process enjoyable.
Aww lovely photos. Especially of the girls together! We’ll have all the digitals please!
DOG AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY GIFT VOUCHERS
The most precious gift a dog lover could receive
F.A.Qs
Pre-photoshoot
Does my dog need to be well trained for the photoshoot to work?
I have many years of experience photographing dogs and puppies. In an ideal world your dog would be able to sit and stay to your command. This of course helps a lot. However it certainly does not prevent me from still creating some beautiful images even if they do not listen as well as you would like. I am extremely patient and I can photograph dogs on a lead and later remove this in post production ( in most circumstances.) I know the tricks of the trade to get their attention or to capture those moments of stillness. If your dog is particularly active it is advisable to book a full 2 hour session with me so that we can spend more time on action shots. Please call me on 07879 840171 to chat or drop me a line on my email with any worries you may have and I can advise.
Can you help me choose the right photoshoot?
Absolutely! Please call me on 07879 840171 to chat or drop me a line on my email.
How does the booking process work?
Once you have decided that you would like to book a session with me, we first agree a mutually convenient date.
I will then send you a session contract that can be completed electronically and an invoice that can be settled via bank transfer which acts a retainer to secure your session. Once the contract is returned and payment complete your date is secured.
I will send you a link to a Pinterest board in advance of the session so that you have some ideas or what to bring and/or what to wear for you and/or those also taking part in the photoshoot.
How do you take payment? Do you take card payments?
An initial payment is made via bank transfer in advance in order to secure your agreed photoshoot session date.
I can take card transactions in person when you place your order at my studio
What shall I wear?
I encourage owners to be in the photography session with their dog and as with all my sessions clothing choices really make a difference to the finished look of your images. I will send you a Pinterest board with advice regarding clothing specifically for dog outdoor photoshoots.
Generally I advise no logos, bold patterns or stripes. Try to avoid bright coats or wellies – it’s better to blend with your surroundings and allow your dog to be the star of the show!
Do I need to bring anything with me to the photoshoot?
I send plenty of advice in the run up to your photoshoot. This includes old towels, dog biscuits, squeaky toys and a slip lead.
The photoshoot
What if it rains on my photoshoot?
I always book a back up date with you in the case of inclement weather.
I will stay in touch with you in the run up to the photoshoot session and, depending on the forecast, can change the time slightly if it will help with light and weather conditions. If it does end up raining heavily and it doesn’t look as though it will stop we will halt the session and reschedule to complete. This does not happen very often!!
Post-photoshoot
When and where can I see the images from my photoshoot?
Unless otherwise specified, images will be ready for viewing about 2-3 weeks after your shoot. I prefer to invite you to a post-shoot viewing session at my home studio so you get to see your images in a video on a large screen without watermarks. This also gives you the opportunity to view samples of my prints and framed products before placing an order. This is not a hard sell, simply a great chance to choose what will work best for your home and allow me to sort everything for you.
If it is not possible for you to visit me I now do Zoom Viewing Sessions where you can see your slideshow of images and we can discuss options for your home. In advance of the session I will have created some examples of the types of wall art that suit your home via a selection of digital mock-ups.
My prints and frames product guide can also be seen here.
Will I get to see all of the images you took on my photoshoot?
No you won’t see all the raw images. I take many, many images over the session and will choose the best to edit and then present to you at our Viewing Session. This varies depending upon the length of the photoshoot. The one hour Owner and Me Photoshoot will have 5 -10 edited images to view, whereas a full 2 hour shoot will likely have approximately 15-20 edited images.
Further final edits are carried out once you have chosen your favourite images, however you may purchase all the images in your gallery should you so wish.
Can I print the images myself?
I only work with the best professional photographic laboratories in the UK and can therefore ensure perfect colour and excellent quality should you wish to order prints with me.
However if you choose to purchase the rights to the image in for form of the full resolution digital files from your photoshoot, you can print the images yourself. Full details of my pricing for digital images can be found here.
I only work with the best professional photographic laboratories in the UK and can therefore ensure perfect colour and excellent quality should you wish to order prints with me.
Most of my photoshoot sessions come with a complimentary 6 x 8″ mounted print so you can see exactly how the images should look before choosing to order any further prints.
Can you get the images framed for me?
Yes of course!
I want you to have an opportunity to leave with finished artwork ready to hang and start enjoying as soon as possible. I also take away the worry of having to find a supplier that will print your images beautifully or finding a suitable framer.
All my photographic equipment is calibrated to ensure accurate colour representation and I only use professional, UK based print laboratories and wall art manufacturers who have the highest standards in production quality.
My prints and frame product guide can be found here or please contact me for a full price guide.
How many photos will I get from my photoshoot?
You only order what you like after the shoot. There is no obligation to purchase anything after your session should you not wish to. I offer a wide variety of frames and other wall art, along with print boxes so once you have seen your images you can choose how to display them.
