Information for Models

A little bit about us…

Hello! We are Peter & Emily from Poppy & Sage Photography. You can read about us here.

What's important to us:

Your safety!

Safety is always Number One.

We welcome you bringing along a parent. Or a partner. Or a friend. Or a sibling. Someone you trust. This is a non-issue and something that you do not need to check with us.

Our Number Two priority:

Your comfort!

You should feel comfortable and relaxed at all times. If we have asked if you would like to participate in a bridal shoot, for example, that is exactly what we will be doing. We won't also ask you to do boudoir (or dudoir, as the case may be) when you turn up for your shoot.

We have a model release form that needs to be signed before the images can be released. If you would like a copy of the model release form before the day of the shoot (we typically provide a hardcopy on the day or at the first meeting), feel free to ask and we will email it to you.

We are happy to work with under 18s. We do require that a parent or guardian signs the model release form, however, and that contact details for a parent or guardian are provided to us. It is very important for us that a parent or guardian is aware of the shoot and has had the chance to have any concerns addressed. After all, we are parents ourselves and so we understand.

Finally, let us know if you need to stop for a break. A snack. Whatever. Don’t be shy!

P.S.

We work with and welcome all people from all heritages; racism of any kind has no place in our business (or personal life, for that matter).

We have been privileged to work with people with disabilities (to date, we have worked with a deaf model and quadriplegic); we would welcome the opportunity again - and again!

We value health over size.

“The Poppy and Sage Photography team has to be one of my all-time favourite photographers! They ensure to ask you every little detail to make sure they get the perfect shots that is unique to each session. I have worked with Emily for 3 years now on a range of shoots and have also been published with her twice. I joke around with her that I may not have a fiancé just yet, but she’s already booked to photograph my wedding! Forever and always 5/5 stars!” ~Lovely Hannah Sisson, model we have worked with previously and highly recommend ourselves
