Mummy and Me Sessions in Gloucester

Let me guess – kids growing too fast?

Yup. Mine too.

I bet you’re always the one taking the photos too, right?

Trying to savour these moments before they’re gone, replaced by a new phase of milestones.

The problem is that us mums often end up being the ones taking the photos and never actually featuring in them.

But we deserve to be apart of our family’s memories too.

Mummy and Me photoshoots are all about making sure both you and your children have tangible memories of the special bond you share.

When they’re grown and have flown the nest, you will be so thankful to have those memories.

And when you’re not around any more, those memories will be utterly priceless to your kids.

Mummy and Me sessions are suitable for mums with babies and children over six months – up to any age!

 

Moments by Katie Mitchell - Breastfeeding Photos Cheltenham

Oh wow! That photograph has taken my breath away. Such a powerful image. Thank you.

Both pregnancies with my girls were scary and difficult. They truly are our little miracles! Seeing that image of strength and motherhood is very emotional and amazing. I never thought I’d get to that.

It’s brought me to tears, happy ones!

Before your photoshoot

When will my photos be ready?

After your photoshoot, your photographs will be edited to my highest standards before being presented to you. This process typically takes two weeks, however may take a little longer during busy periods. As soon as your photographs are ready, you’ll be invited back for your personal Reveal and Order session, where you’ll be able to view your photographs and choose the packages and products that you would like to purchase.

Please note that some mini sessions may not include a personal view and order session; in these cases you will be provided with an online gallery from which to download your photographs.

Can I pay for my session in instalments?

Yes! You are more than welcome to pay for your preferred photography package in monthly instalments in the run up to your session. Please let me know if you’d like to take advantage of this when booking your session.

ME/MY PARTNER/MY CHILD ARE POORLY, CAN WE STILL COME FOR OUR APPOINTMENT?

I have to be really careful not to pass on any nasty germs to the small babies that enter my studio so, please get in touch to reschedule. You won’t be charged and it’s much better to be safe rather than sorry.

CAN ALL MY CHILDREN GET INVOLVED?

Yes, absolutely!

On the day

Where is your studio?

My studio is located at my home in Longlevens, moments off the A40 and M5 motorway, making it ideally situated for clients in Gloucester, Cheltenham and further afield.

Can I have my hair and make-up done?

Yes absolutely! I work with a fabulous hair and make-up artist who specialises in beautiful, natural make-up. Simply let me know you’d like to book when you get in touch.

After your photoshoot

What happens after my photoshoot?

As your photoshoot draws to a close, we’ll arrange a convenient date and time for you to return to the studio for your Reveal and Order session. I don’t like to keep clients waiting too long, so I normally aim to get you back within a couple of weeks of your photo session.

If you can’t wait that long, you’ll be offered the opportunity of a sneak peek of one of your photographs on Facebook the evening of your photoshoot. Please note that I need your consent to use your images in this manner, so if you have not already opted into this within your contract, you may be asked to complete a model release form.

At your Reveal and Order appointment, you’ll be shown a beautiful slideshow of all of your photographs. You’ll be reminded of the packages available and shown the art of the possible when it comes to wall art. And then it’s up to you to choose how you’d like to proceed. There’s never any pressure and, of course, if you don’t fall in love with your photographs, I will happily refund your session fee. Thankfully I can report that 100% of my clients have loved their photographs!

Orders are to be made at the Reveal and Order session so please make sure all decision makers can attend. I accept cash or debit card and can also offer payment plans if necessary.

DO I HAVE TO BUY FROM ONE OF YOUR PACKAGES?

You are welcome to make a bespoke order, however there is a minimum spend equal to the package that you initially chose. 

Do I have to decide on my final order at the Reveal appointment?

Ideally, yes. The purpose of your Reveal Appointment is for you to sit back and enjoy your photographs and decide which collection is right for you. Additional ordering appointments may be requested, however a booking fee will apply.

What is the charity donation?
I am passionate about helping families across Gloucestershire to celebrate family life but I know that not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford a luxury such as professional photography to help them do this. From an early stage in my business, I decided that I would do my bit to support those who can’t, so I chose to donate a portion of all standard packages sold to three charities in Gloucestershire that resonated with my values, Gloucestershire Bundles, The Family Haven and Footsteps Counselling and Care.
Will you use my images?
I’d love to! But I will never show your photographs to anyone without your consent. When you sign your portrait photography contract, you’ll be asked permission to use photographs from your session for marketing purposes. I know that some people feel uneasy about this until they’ve seen their images and that’s fine. You’re welcome to make up your mind at your view and order session and, if you’re happy for me to share your beautiful images with the world, I’ll simply fill ask you to fill in a model release consent form. And of course, if you’d prefer they stayed private, then that’s absolutely fine as well.

I wrote a blog post which goes into a little more detail about this here.
