“Bobby immediately made us feel at ease and our wee one loved his energy too. We are so happy to have these moments captured in such a beautiful way, Thank you Bobby!” - Will and Morag

Family photography is where I first started out when I started charging for my services, and as such I feel it’s where my main passion lies. As with most of my photos I really love sitting back, letting everyone get as comfortable as possible and just letting a family be themselves. I strongly believe that the best family images happen when people forget there is a camera on them, as these are the photos that truly capture the unique interactions that define a family, and this is where I believe my skill as a photographer firmly lies.

Every family is different, and as such I do everything to accommodate whatever is going to make people the most comfortable, as that’s where the best photos lie.

However, after doing this for some time I’ve certainly found optimum ways of making shoots work. I generally stick to 1 hour shoots (with a little leeway either side) simply because I’ve found depending on their age the little ones can start getting a little tired after this and the quality of shots really drops off fast if they get a little grumpy!

As such pricing is as follows:

1 hour session: weekday: £400, weekend £450 - Includes 20 professionally edited photos you choose from an online gallery.

Extras are available at £15 per photo, or the whole gallery (roughly 100-150 photos) for an extra £200.
I usually do shoots in a park or garden of your choosing, purely because I often think these are the best looking locations, but can gladly accommodate anywhere within reason. If you feel you’d like longer than an hour for whatever reason I’m very happy to agree a price for this over the phone which will later be put in writing in an email.

Generally, I always think it’s best to have a chat to talk about how the shoot works and what to expect beforehand anyway so everyone is on the same page, so please let me know if you’d like to arrange a call.
