School's almost out for summer! ☀️

Here's how you can capture some beautiful family memories this summer...

☀️ Twilight Sessions – £125
Available every evening at 7:00pm at a variety of local locations, or 7:30pm at the beach.

These sessions last up to 45 minutes and are perfect for families, couples or even your pets!

📸 Mondays are available for:
Let's Stay Home Sessions – £145
Early Days (Newborn) Sessions – £175

More information on these packages is pinned to the top of my Facebook and Instagram pages, or just drop me a message if you're unsure which session would suit you best.

⭐ Can I gift someone a photoshoot?
Absolutely! I offer gift vouchers for any of my packages, or for any monetary amount that the recipient can put towards a session.
They're especially popular for baby showers, christenings and milestone birthdays.

🌧️ What if it rains?
No problem! If the weather (or illness) means we need to postpone, there's no extra charge. We'll simply find another date that works for you.

✨ Summer evenings don't last forever, and my availability is limited, so if you've been thinking about booking a session, now's the perfect time to get in touch. I'd love to capture some beautiful memories for you.

📍 Ribble Valley and Preston

An honest post from a self-employed business owner with three young children... because the summer holidays are no joke!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love having the kids at home. I genuinely believe children spend far too much time at school, so having the chance to slow down, learn together, explore new places, and make memories is something I never take for granted. I'm so grateful that my job allows me to do this.

The flip side is that running a business doesn't stop for the summer. Finding time for shoots, advertising, editing, and everything else that happens behind the scenes suddenly becomes much harder.

So if you happen to see one of my posts over the summer, I'd be forever grateful if you could take a second to like, comment, or share, it would make the world of difference in helping more people see my work. 🙏🏼

And just know that there's a good chance that each post was put together in one of those little pockets of peace, after finally getting three kids strapped into the fully loaded car, while sitting beside an overtired six-year-olds bed while they drift off to sleep, or during those precious couple of minutes before the little people climb into my bed for morning cuddles.

Thank you for supporting my little business, especially during this wonderfully chaotic season 🌞

They never work with children to animals, I say do both, at the same time! ❤️

Another gorgeous twilight shoot in the world's coolest playground for the luckiest girls. Don't forget Twilight Storyteller shoots are just £99 for fellow farming families within a 30 minute drive from Longridge at the moment.

I wanted to let you know about a change to my Storyteller photoshoots. From now on, these sessions will be offered exclusively as twilight shoots 🌞

There are several reasons behind this decision. The soft, golden evening light gives me much more creative freedom and allows us to make the most of any location. The evening light is also super flattering, creating the beautiful, timeless feel that Storyteller sessions are known for.

On a personal note, being married to a farmer means family time can be quite rare. I’ve often been using the precious hours when my husband is home to fit in shoots, and that isn’t fair on our children or on our family as a whole.

Twilight sessions can still be booked well in advance. I’ll keep you updated throughout the year on the best session times as the seasons change, and if I spot a particularly beautiful evening forecast, I may also offer some last minute availability via my stories.

The price will remain the same at £125, which includes your session and a full gallery of professionally edited images for you to download and keep.

Thanks to the Procter family (Ssoph Procter) for modelling for me and helping me persuade you all that's it most definitely worth keeping the kids up late for one night!

I have very few weekend slots left for the Summer, I'm very grateful to everyone that is already booked in!

My remaining dates are 21st June or 16th August, please message to let me know if you would like either of these dates 😊

Alternatively I have lots of availability for sunset shoots! Why are sunset shoots my favourite? Firstly, golden hour, need I say more. Secondly, the low sun means the shoot can run more freely, I don't need to position you out of the harsh sun or worry about squinting eyes. I can simply follow your family as you play, explore or even enjoy a picnic!
