The lifestyle family photoshoot lasts up to two hours; it’s relaxed and not time-pressured. You’ll get (non-awkward!) feedback reassuring you about your look and the best position for the light and composition. Beatrice’s aim is to ensure you enjoy your time together, in order to allow natural feelings and emotions to truly shine through in the images. After the shoot is over, she’ll keep in contact, dropping a few sneak peeks of photos your way until the gallery is completed.

Within a week of the session, you’ll get all high-resolution digital files (a minimum of 60); plus, you’ll get an app for your smartphone that gives you direct access to your images. And there are no hidden costs! You have the chance to choose from beautiful, high-quality, Italian-made products, from custom-made albums to wall art that will last for generations.

Shiwen’s top family photoshoot tip

“The truth about working with little people is that, despite our best intentions, they may not be in the mood for having their photo taken. They may be wary of the camera, or of strangers, or just reacting to a change in their routine. If this happens, as a professional family photographer, I’m presented with a unique opportunity to document the unconditional love, tenderness and grace that you give to your child. I only ask that you do the same with an honest, open heart and a willingness to let whatever happens during our time together happen with grace. This is a time for you to be fully present with your loved ones.”

Amy has two kids, one dog and one husband - although she'd love to have more than one (dog, that is). She's mad about F45 training, running and playing Gaelic football, when she isn't injured or drinking a little too much wine.
