Qs & As

Each time the service has been amazing and I'm always so impressed with the high standard of her work. I can't recommend her enough and just wish I had found her sooner!"
How good is the communication?
"All communication about arranging the session and choosing the photos afterwards was really easy and quick. And most importantly, we absolutely love the photos we received."
Do I get a selection of images to choose from?

Will I get help with poses and colours?
"We had the best time at this photoshoot, being guided on the shots as well as getting to select from the massive arrange of backdrops and accessories/props which we found useful as we could tailor the props to the colour scheme of our house for if we get photos printed."
Does Linda capture our personalities?
"If there were more stars I would add them, Woodard Photography does an amazing and professional job. We booked for our daughter's 1st Birthday Smash Cake and family photos and I can say Linda captured us so well, the pictures were amazing. I would definitely recommend Woodard Photography any of your photography needs."
Does Linda listen to her client's wishes?
"Linda understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding photos - natural, candid photos in daylight - and was a pleasure to work with. The photos are beautiful and capture the spirit and personalities of our guests, and she was so friendly and easy to communicate with. A very calming presence on what could have been a stressful day!"
What if I want a different crop?
"Very please with how my photos came out, I even asked for a little adjustment which Linda did quickly and communication throughout has been excellent"

What if I am flustered on the day?
"Linda is a true talented photographer. She is a pleasure to be around she's professional, personable and friendly too. I arrived flustered and overwhelmed with my daughter for her 13th bday surprise photoshoot. My daughter enjoyed the experience and absolutely loved the photos as do I."
How does Linda deal with children with additional needs?
"I honestly don’t know where to begin - I have three very gorgeous and very bubbly children , my eldest has additional needs and this can impact our experiences at things like this . Linda’s beautiful , calm and gentle way has meant we can get some stunning photos of our babies ! "
My baby is already 3 months, can I still have a newborn style shoot?

What if my baby isn't born on their due date?
"We booked a newborn session with Linda in advance and based on our baby’s due date - our baby girl ended up being a few days late and we didn’t feel ready in time for the date we had originally booked. Linda understands this is an occupational hazard and was super flexible rebooking with us."
Can I bring twin toddlers to a newborn session?
"Linda is amazing at what she does especially with children! I took my 2.5 year old twins to a newborn photo shoot for our newborn and she was fantastic with all 3, as you can imagine it wasn’t the easiest. We’re over the moon with the photos."
What happens if my newborn wants to feed?
"When I was flustered about A spending a lot of time feeding initially, she reassured me that we would still get some great photos, and she did! She was great with A and managed to soothe her to sleep even when A was determined to stay awake! The photos came out wonderfully, we are very happy with them and have already booked our next photo shoot "
Can I bring my toddler to our newborn session?
"We had our newborn photography with Linda and we had a great session with her. Linda never rushed us ,as being a mum of a toddler as well as a newborn now, I was truly worried if we would capture my babies."
How are Linda's newborn sessions?
"Cannot write enough about Linda, from start to finish her service was amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable the minute you walk into her studio, and being first time parents and tired from lack of sleep, she really does wake you up in awe of what she is doing. She has so many props for you to choose from so any kind of photos you like she will be able to do!"
Are there outfits for cake smashes?
"Linda has a huge choice of outfits and props and the pictures are so lovely, beautiful memory for the years to come."
Has Woodard Photography photographed twins?
"This was our 2nd time having a cake smash with Linda, and with twins we really were not sure how it would go, but I can honestly say this woman is an absolute magician. She took time to get to know the boys before settling them down to start the photoshoot. She let my boys lead her, and made sure that they were comfortable at all times, nothing was too much trouble for Linda."
Is Linda good with children?

What if my child is grumpy?
"Linda is a wonderful photographer, she is calm and relaxed and takes time to get beautiful photos. She even managed to coax a smile out of my 10 month old who was being a bit of a grump!"
I have several young children, will it be chaos?
"We went with our young family and had three children aged between 10 months and 4 years old and Linda was able to engage them, make them feel comfortable and captured some wonderful images."
My child has autism, how will this work?
"We have used Linda at woodard photography several times now and every photo session has been amazing.Linda was so good with our daughter who has Autism and struggles with anything like this but Linda was really patient and took the time to make sure we had brilliant photos."
What if my pre-teen doesn't like to pose?
"Linda has photographed my daughter multiple times and has always managed to get amazing shots. My daughter isn't a poser and Linda's ability to capture those natural, in between shots and her rapport with younger subjects makes for some beautiful shots. Highly recommended and we will continue to use Linda for future sessions!"
Can I have a SEN Christmas Mini?

How does Linda work with children with SEN?
