Family & Couples

Family & Couples Sessions

These sessions are built for real life: muddy knees, toddler meltdowns, the dog photobombing every other shot. We find a location that works for your family, and I always build in proper time: these sessions are never rushed. Everyone gets a chance to settle in, relax and forget the camera's even there. That's when the good stuff happens.

Young families Couples Multi-generational Outdoor sessions Surrey & South London Caterham · Reigate · Redhill · Croydon

How it works

First, we have a quick planning call. We talk through where we might go, who's coming along, anything you're hoping for and any ideas either of us is sitting on. Maybe you've got a spot in mind. Maybe you want me to bring a few gentle prompts for the little ones, or you'd rather we just see what happens. We sort all of it before the day, so when it comes round you can turn up and be present, and leave the rest to me.

★★★★★

We did a family photoshoot in our garden with Elena and she did such a wonderful job with our pictures. They have turned out absolutely stunning and we could not be happier. Elena really put us all at ease during the shoot and made it a fun experience, which in turn resulted in some beautiful pictures that feel really natural and timeless. We'll definitely be staying in touch for future photography needs!

Maternity & Newborn

Maternity & Newborn

Gentle sessions for the newest chapter. No props, no posed wraps, no studio. Newborn sessions happen at home, around feeds and naps and cuddles. Maternity can be at home too, or outdoors in the Surrey hills if you would rather have the light and the space, and that costs the same either way.

Brand & Content

Brand & Content

Launching a shop. Putting out a book. A new collection that needs shooting. A tired feed that needs filling. You've got a brief, and you need images that do the job. So the only real question is how much of me you need. However long we've got, you get the whole collection: every shot worth keeping, all colour-corrected and finished in my style, not a handful I picked for you.

★★★★★

We did an amazing shoot with Elena in the streets of London — the photos are superb, I am very happy with them. Elena really took the time to show me poses so we could get the best pictures and really paid attention to detail. Would recommend 100%!

I hate having my photo taken but Elena made me feel totally at ease and we had so much fun! Now I have some great professional pictures for my website, LinkedIn and presentations. Excellent value for money and would definitely recommend.

Albums, prints & keepsakes

Something to hold, not just a folder on a laptop

Every session comes with the whole gallery, and that never changes. If you want the photographs off the screen and into the room, these are made to order once you have seen them. Nothing is chosen on the day, and nothing is pushed.

A stack of linen and leather fine art albums on a side table beside a houseplant

A unique album or book

from £400

Designed by me, printed and delivered to you. Fine art album or coffee table book, your choice of cover. Design, print and delivery are all in the price.

Two cream keepsake print boxes with gold lettering resting on linen

Print box

£195

Ten fine art prints in a keepsake box. The nicest way to hand photographs to grandparents, and the easiest to frame later.

Hands holding a fine art print above more prints spread across a wooden floor

Fine art prints and gift vouchers

£35 · £150 · £299

Single prints at £35 each. Gift vouchers at £150 or £299, or any amount you like, emailed as a PDF and valid for twelve months.

All of it is offered after your gallery lands, never at booking. If you would rather just have the photographs, that is completely fine and always has been.

Common questions

The stuff worth knowing before you book.

How many photos will I get?

The Story gives you 30–40 photos, colour-corrected and finished in my style: the whole story of the afternoon. The Whole Day gives you 60–80, start to finish.

For Brand & Content and Events, you get the whole collection: every shot worth keeping from our time together, all colour-corrected and finished in my style. Finished in my style means the light and colour are balanced and the look is mine; it is not retouching, so faces and bodies stay exactly as they are. If you'd like a few shots properly retouched, that can be requested and priced separately, from £15 a photo. I'm not there to hit a number, and I won't cherry-pick a handful and hold the rest back.

How do I book?

There's nothing to pay to enquire, and no payment links on this page. It runs in four steps.

1. We chat. Book an intro chat or send me a message, and we talk through what you're after, with no commitment.

2. You get the terms. Your date, price and what we're photographing, written down in plain English. You can read an example of those terms before you commit to anything.

3. Your session is getting underway. A 50% deposit holds your date, the balance is due five days before, and we have a planning call.

4. You get your photos. A sneak peek within 48 hours and the full gallery within 7 days.

What if I need to cancel or move the date?

More than 14 days before, you get everything back including the deposit. Between 5 and 14 days before, I refund half. Inside 5 days there's no refund, because at that point the date realistically cannot be filled.

You also have 14 days from signing to change your mind for any reason at all, and I refund everything. If you're unwell or something serious happens, talk to me. I would far rather move your session than keep your money.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Cloud and light rain are usually fine, and often better than glaring sun. If it's genuinely unsuitable, heavy rain or high wind or anything unsafe, I make that call on the day and we move the session at no extra charge. If you'd rather go ahead anyway that's your choice, though I can't be responsible for what the weather does to the photos.

How long do I have to download my photos?

Your gallery stays live for 3 months, so download everything before it closes. I keep a backup for a year from your session date.

I don't supply RAW or unedited files: everything comes to you finished, in the style you booked. You get a permanent personal licence covering every photo, so print them, frame them and share them for as long as you like.

How far in advance should I book?

Sooner is better, especially for weekends and the warmer months from May to September, which fill up fast. A few weeks' notice is usually plenty for a weekday session. If you've got a date in mind, message me anyway. I sometimes have a last-minute slot, and I'd rather you asked than assumed it was gone.

Where are you based, and how far do you travel?

I'm based in Surrey and work regularly across Caterham, Reigate, Redhill, Oxted, Purley, Croydon and South London. Travel within 30 miles is included in all session prices. Beyond that, we agree a travel supplement in advance, and it's never a nasty surprise.

Can I get prints or an album?

Yes, and only if you want them. A unique album or coffee table book starts at £400, designed by me and delivered to you, with the design, printing and postage all in that price. A print box of ten fine art prints is £195, and single prints are £35 each.

I offer all of it after your gallery lands, never while you are booking. Gift vouchers work the same way: £150 or £299, or any amount you like, emailed as a PDF and valid for twelve months.

How to book

No payment to enquire, and no checkout to rush through. We sort it together, in four steps. I carry £2 million public and professional liability insurance, with ten years of shooting behind me.

We chat. Tell me what you're after and we talk it through. No commitment, and nothing to pay.

I reply within 24 hours.

You get the terms. Your date, price and what we're photographing, written down in plain English. Read them in your own time. Here's the same document, so you know now what lands later.

PDF, opens in a new tab.

Your session is getting underway. A 50% deposit holds your date, the balance is due five days before, and we have a planning call so the day itself is easy.
You get your photos. A sneak peek within 48 hours and your full gallery within 7 days. Then I'll ask for a review, which is how most people find me.

For clients who've already had their photos.

Ready when you are.

I'll reply within 24 hours.
