Your Investment: Sessions, Prints and Digital Images
I’m often asked for a price list, especially when it comes to the cost of prints and digital images. I completely understand the concern, some photographers offer reasonable session fees but then mark up product prices or try to sell through high-pressure “viewing meetings” run by trained salespeople offering finance deals. Even if you love the photos, that experience can leave a bad taste.
I don’t believe in making my clients uncomfortable with hard sells. It’s not my style, so the whole process is kept simple and pressure-free.”
For session pricing, full details are available on their dedicated pages, but if you’d like a quick overview, feel free to scroll down for a summary.
Still on the fence? It might not be the price – here are the real worries most parents have before they book.
When it comes to ordering the images that you’d like, there are no secrets here. First and foremost, all your images are proofed online – no sales process to sit through. You can view and order your images at 2am whilst in your pyjamas with no fear of judgement here.
Outside of my baby photography club, most other portrait sessions that I offer either include your favourite image to download (in the case of the mini sessions) or your choice of your three favourite digital images at high resolution for you (when it comes to the full sessions). The cost for each type of session is listed out below.
My Baby Photography Club gives you the option of either taking a free digital from each session or choosing your favourite image from each to receive in a triple aperture wall frame at the end of the year. Pricing for any additional images that you’d like to order from each session are the same for the Joey Club as for any other type of session.
Then if you’d like to order extra prints, canvases or digital images then just see below for a list of the most commonly requested prices.

Digital Images
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| A single digital image | £15 |
| Pack of Five Digital Images | £50 |
| All of the Digital Images from your Session | £195 |
| All of the Digital Images from your session in extra large file sizes and delivered on USB (if you know you’d like to print significantly larger than 10×8″) | £230 |
With all digital images though – however you choose to receive them – please back them up somewhere safe, or ideally in a few different places. I don’t keep files beyond 12 months, so once they’re gone, they’re gone, and that would be heartbreaking
Prints
If you would prefer to order additional hard copy prints, I have these produced to the highest quality at our professional photographic lab. See below for a list of the most commonly requested sizes.
Canvas Wraps
When it comes to hanging your photographs on your walls, the canvas wrap is by far and away my best seller! Your image is printed on high quality canvas fabric and then stretched over a wooden frame to create a fabulously simple way to display your favourite photographs. Their clean lines and lack of frame mean that they suit any room in the house, and are easy to rehang if you move house or change decor.
| Print Size | Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 10×8” | £15 |
| 15×10” | £25 |
| 16×20” | £35 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Session fees and deposits are non-refundable, as they secure your booking in my diary. That said, I understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need to reschedule and give me notice, your payment can be transferred to a new date rather than being lost.
If a session is missed without any notice, the session fee isn’t refundable. You’re still welcome to rebook, but this would be subject to a £30 rebooking fee to cover the lost session time.
If you’re ever unsure or something unexpected crops up, the best thing to do is get in touch as soon as you can and we’ll take it from there.
I accept a variety of payment options, including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and PayPal. Please contact me if you need assistance with payment.
Yes. If your session is more than two weeks away, you can choose to pay a £20 deposit, with the remaining balance due closer to your session.
If your session is within two weeks, the full amount is payable at the time of booking.
The only exception is mini sessions, which require full payment at the time of booking to secure your slot.
Payment is due when you booked your photo shoot but if it is more than two weeks away, you can choose to pay a deposit of £20. The balance is due the week before your booking.
When you buy a digital file from me, the copyright stays with me, as it would with pretty much all other photographers. However, that’s just a legal term I retain as the creator of the image. You’re able to print and share the image as much as you’d like, the only thing you can’t do is sell the images or claim that you took them. Other than that, they’re yours to do as you wish with.
PS, back them up!
This is a question I get asked a lot, and it’s a tricky one to answer as it depends on so many things. If your baby’s in a great mood, you’ll have lots of photos to choose from, but if they’re finding the session a little harder going, you’ll naturally have fewer. If I had to give an average, I’d say you can expect around forty fully edited images in your finished gallery, but that can vary quite a bit, so it’s not always the most useful number to go on.
The Baby Photography Club includes four studio sessions to use across your baby’s first and second year.
You’ll have three sessions during your baby’s first year, plus a fourth bonus session that can be used at any point during their second year – perfect for capturing that slightly older, more confident stage.
From each session, you can choose either:
a complimentary digital image, or
a frame with your favourite image.
If you’d like to purchase additional images from any session, you can do so easily via your private online gallery.
Absolutely! Photography gift certificates make a lovely, thoughtful present, ideal for birthdays, baby showers, new arrivals, or just because.
You can choose any session type (newborn, family, maternity, baby club, cake smash, or even seasonal minis), and I’ll create a nicely designed certificate for you to give.
Gift certificates can be supplied as a printed version, ready to wrap and hand over, or a digital version, ideal for last-minute gifting. Each one comes with full details on how to book, and the recipient is free to choose a date that suits them.
If you’d like to order one, just click the button below. It’s a lovely way to give someone the gift of lasting memories.
I keep your images for 18 months following your session date, and after this point they’re permanently deleted, so if you’re purchasing digital copies, please back them up safely, I really can’t stress this enough.
When they go online following your session, they’ll be there for a month for you to order from (although I can extend that if you need a bit more time to choose, just ask!)
I present all your images in colour, then add in black and white copies of some that I think particularly suit it. Of course, if you’d rather have an image in black and white, just ask and I’m happy to switch it over for you.
Each of your images is professionally edited, so there’ll be a bit of a delay before you can see them while I get everything ready for you. This can vary according to a number of factors, but generally it’s about a two week wait before your images are uploaded to your private online gallery. I’ll be able to advise you better on exact waiting times at your session.
I believe in complete transparency when it comes to pricing, so you won’t get any nasty surprises. You’ll already know what your session fee includes in terms of images, and you can simply order more from your online gallery if you’d like to, there’s no sales or viewing session to attend.
Here are the prices for additional digital images and prints.
About two weeks after your session, I’ll have your images edited and uploaded to your private online gallery. There’s no sales or viewing session to attend. I’ll email you a link and a password, and that will take you straight to your finished images.
Any digital images you purchase will be sized at 10×8″ at 300ppi in JPEG format as standard. This is ideal for printing up to this size or slightly larger (you have more flexibility on size when it comes to canvases, as they’re printed at a lower resolution).
If you know you want to print significantly larger than this, you can upgrade your digital images to larger file sizes, and they’ll be sent to you on a USB drive, just check your gallery pricing for the options here.
One little note though: always back up your USBs, they aren’t the most reliable technology for long-term storage.
