Maternity

Capturing the beauty

Maternity portraits can be a lot of things – an opportunity to capture the beginning of an adventure, for example, or a chance to celebrate your changing body. Together, we can create a session that reflects you – on location and in the studio.

Family and Children

Celebrating the love

Family and Children

Celebrating the love

Life passes by so quickly. Family portraits are a way to freeze time with your loved ones and create beautiful artwork for your home. In studio and on location sessions available.

Boudoir

Boudoir

Be Empowered

Boudoir sessions are about you – to empower yourself, to celebrate achievements in your life and to create images that make you feel special. These sessions are not just about the final image – it is about the experience.

Weddings

with The Foxcroft Collective

Your wedding is about you – your tastes, your dreams, your love. This is the biggest party you will ever have, so let's make sure your images reflect that. The Foxcroft Collective is a partnership to ensure you have two photographers capturing your day.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

The Process

FROM START TO FINISH

01/03

Initial Contact

Getting in touch can be daunting. But I am here to help! You can get in touch via the contact form or you can book a complementary consultation chat. On the phone we will discuss the process from booking through to product delivery. I will be able to answer any questions you may have (including products and pricing) and we can book you in for your session!

Planning and Wardrobe Consultation

The planning session and wardrobe consultation is your chance to meet me and to share your vision for your shoot. We will go through the design options and, where applicable, we will also go through and select your outfits from the client wardrobe.
We will also book in your ordering session

Shoot Day

Shoot Day! I will check in with you 24-48 hours ahead of your session to see whether there are any remaining questions. Once you arrive at the studio or on location, we will have a quick chat to confirm the plan for the day and to answer any final questions. And then we will get into it. You should expect a lot of chatter, a few dad jokes and an overall joyful and empowering experience.

Ordering Session

Ahead of your session, we will also book in an ordering session. We can do your ordering session in person or via Zoom. During the ordering session we will select and design your artwork.

Artwork delivery

Once your beautiful artwork arrives, we will arrange a time for me to deliver it to you. I prefer to do this in person so that I can ensure it reaches you safely.

Just received my boudoir album amd will honestly say it was the most incredible experience I have ever had. I'm a low confidence woman but Debrin made the whole thing so enjoyable and the results are incredible. Loved the whole thing from booking to receiving my album. Thank you for giving me the boost I didn't know I needed.
