Family stories.
In their own words.
“Jasper and Hilary did a family photo shoot with us on the farm. We had such a fun afternoon with them taking photos! They were so easy going and captured everything we were looking for and more.”
Amber
“Having them come to our home for our newborn and family shots was perfect as it can be tricky getting out in the early days of parenthood in awful weather! Very friendly, professional and patient...”
Priscilla
“Jasper & Hilary are an awesome couple with great patience! They were so relaxed and really allowed the time for our little one to settle in order to get some great shots. Couldn't be happier. Thanks guys!”
Sophie
“The children absolutely loved the shoot! They are usually very shy with strangers but warmed to Jasper immediately. We couldn't be happier with the photos. They express our personalities so beautifully!”

FAQ
-
Why choose us?
We've been doing this for a while! We started the business together and have since photographed over 200 weddings and many family lifestyle sessions and newborn shoots, learning and improving along the way.
We'll always go above and beyond to make everyone feel natural in front of our cameras. Just have a look through the 100+ real and raving reviews on our Facebook page to see why our clients picked us.
-
Who edits the photos?
With our backgrounds in design, we take pride in carefully selecting and editing all photos ourselves, with a timeless feel and without heavy filters which can date. We prefer to show natural colours, to tell a story that is true to the feeling of the day.
We don't leave your photos in the hands of popular AI services, a growing trend that has taken the industry by storm! It would sure be a great way for us to cut costs, free up our valuable time, or shoot more weddings - like so many other photographers out there - but we have looked into this and have personally found this to be beneath our usual standards!
-
How do we receive our photos?
We will provide you with an online password-protected gallery and email you a download link to your photos in full resolution, without watermarks. You'll be free to print your images and share them around as much as you wish.
-
How long does it take you to deliver everything?
We understand that you're excited to see the results! Sometimes we'll upload a little sneak-peek to our social channels - often within just a few days! Some highlights of your shoot that you'll no doubt be proud to share!
We promise you all results within 4 weeks from your shoot, but in reality this is a wait time of around 1 to 2 weeks on average.
-
Do you include any prints?
Our packages do not include prints. In this digital age not everyone is after printed images. However, you and everyone you share your link and password with, are able to order beautiful framed, unframed or matted prints straight from your gallery, hosted by Queensberry.
We also offer a premium photo album option, designed by us, from your selection of favourite images. You can see what that could look like in this video.
-
What happens if the weather is bad?
If you're considering to have your shoot outdoors, we'd prefer to avoid rainy days and make use of the most flattering light, to get you those stand-out shots. Ideally closer to sunset, during what is called the "golden hour".
For this reason we're happy to offer you a second date option as a wet weather alternative. Closer to your scheduled shoot we'll be able to check the forecast and make a decision to go ahead, or to postpone to your backup option.
As much as we'd love the sun to beam out, this is not always the case. We also take great photos when it's overcast, so as long as it's not likely to rain we'll go for it.
Also, we totally understand that scheduling a session around the sunset time is not always easy with young children, so we can make any time work - mornings are also great! Just let us know your preference and we'll make the most of it!

Payment and booking
To secure your session you will sign our agreement and pay a 50% non-refundable retainer fee. The full balance is due on the shoot date, via bank transfer or credit card payment.
