FAQs

How do I book a shoot?

To book a session, you can get in touch with me via the Contact page or by emailing me directly at peterflude@live.co.uk

What is your style?

My work is described as relaxed, authentic, and nostalgic, with a luxury fine art quality. I combine documentary photography with lifestyle, editorial, and traditional portraiture to create a collection of beautiful and unique images of your family that can be treasured for a lifetime. The photos from your session complement each other to tell a story and capture a cherished moment in time for your family.

How much do you charge?

My pricing is simple and all inclusive. You pay one price for ALL digital photos. The total cost for Family & Newborn sessions is £399. Prints and additional products are sold and priced separately. For events, I charge an hourly rate which you can see on my Session Info page, along with all other pricing information.

What is included?

All packages include the session itself plus a minimum of 50 images as high resolution digital photos. Often you will receive even more! Additionally, you will be given a link to a private online gallery where you can view and share your images with friends and family, and order additional fine art prints and physical products. Learn more about what's included on the Session Info page!

What is your turnaround time?

Your photos will be delivered via private online gallery as soon as they are ready within 4 weeks of your shoot.

Where are you based?

I am based in Chichester, West Sussex. But wherever you are in the Sussex or Hampshire region I would love to help you capture your family!

Where do sessions take place?

Family sessions usually take place at scenic outdoor locations around Sussex. It could be somewhere nearby that is special to you, but I also have a list of locations up my sleeve if you’re struggling to decide! Newborn sessions usually take place at home for a more intimate environment. For family events the sky is the limit!

How long do sessions last?

Family sessions typically last 1 hour, while newborn sessions can last up to 2 hours to allow time for comforting, feeding and taking breaks. However, I understand that every family and baby is unique, and I am happy to work at a pace that is comfortable for everyone. My goal is to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience. So whether your little one needs some extra time, or even if you just want a moment to enjoy the scenery, we will take the time we need to capture beautiful images.

How do you choose the photos?

After your shoot, I carefully review every image to select the best ones for your final gallery. I look for images that are technically strong, with good lighting, composition, and focus, but also those that capture the unique moments and emotions of your session. From there, I individually edit them in my signature style. I always aim to tell a story through your photos, so I select a variety of shots that paint a picture of your family and your time together, while giving you plenty of options.

What should we wear?

Choosing what to wear for a photo shoot can be a daunting task, but don't worry, I'm here to help! My style is natural and relaxed, so I recommend choosing comfortable clothing that you feel good in and that represents your family's personality. Neutral colors and simple patterns are a safe bet, but if you want to add a pop of color or wear something more bold, go for it! It's always nice to coordinate your outfits. But above all, wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, that you can move and play in.

Can we bring pets to our session?

Yes, I am happy to include pets in your session, as they are a part of your family too! Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

When should newborn sessions occur?

Typically within the first month of life when babies are still very sleepy and curly, making it easier to capture those precious early moments. However, I understand it can sometimes be difficult to arrange a photoshoot so soon after birth. That's why I offer some flexibility in scheduling, so shoots can be booked for a bit later within the first few months. My natural and relaxed style allows me to capture beautiful images of your little one at any age. It's never too late to record those special moments!

Can we print our photos?

Yes! Prints can be ordered directly through your online gallery.
