How far ahead should I book?
Portrait and family sessions usually book up three to four weeks ahead, and Saturdays sooner. Newborn sessions should be reserved during pregnancy so we can hold a place around your due date.

FAQ
Questions we hear every day.
Quick answers about our services, pricing and booking at Kettle & Lens. Can't find yours? Just ask.
02
Do I need to pay a deposit?
A £50 session fee secures your date and is part of the session price. It's transferable if you need to move your session with 48 hours' notice.
03
What should we wear?
Solid colours and soft textures work best; avoid big logos and neon. Coordinate rather than match, and bring a couple of options. We'll send a style guide with ideas when you book.
04
What if my children won't cooperate?
They rarely do at first, and that's fine. We build breaks into every family session, use games rather than poses, and the best photos often come when everyone stops trying.
05
Is newborn photography safe?
Yes. Our newborn photographer is safety trained, every pose is supported, composite shots are made from separate safe frames, and the session is always led by your baby's needs.
06
When will I get my photos?
Portrait clients choose favourites at a viewing about a week after the shoot, with retouched images delivered within two weeks. Commercial galleries arrive within five working days.
Still unsure? Our team can talk it through with you.
