Hello!
Welcome..

If this sounds a bit of you. Keep reading to learn more about the style, vision, and how to apply to be our family models.
This session is completely free and includes a full gallery of digital images from myself (Tasha Dowse Photography) & Photos By Jodie Amelia (https://photosbyjodieamelia.mypixieset.com/home/) in exchange for signing a model release allowing the use of photos/videos for business promotion such as Socials, Advertising and Marketing.
The Details:
Session Date/Time: Thursday 6th August 5:30-7:00pm 2026
Where: Hartlebury Common in Worcestershire.
Applications Close: Thursday 9th July 2026
**We may close this early if a high volume of applications are received. **
What is the mood and vibe we are going for?
Think authentic, joyful, and deeply connected. The focus will be on genuine interactions, laughing, playing, walking together with a sprinkle of fun, such as piggyback rides, and magic carpet missions.
We are looking for energetic, expressive families who love to interact naturally and are comfortable playing around on camera. We really want to capture the deep connection within your family.
We need you to be affectionate, free-spirited and natural.
But what if I am not a professional model?
You absolutely do not need to be a professional model, have any modelling experience, or even have had a professional photoshoot before.
What we're looking for is a family who feels comfortable being themselves in front of the camera and is happy to interact naturally together throughout the session.
This is a shoot-along session, which means there will be two lead photographers directing and photographing the session, (myself and Jodie) along with four other talented photographers who will be observing and learning how we guide families to create beautiful, natural images.
As this is a portfolio-building and educational session, all participating family members must be happy to sign a model release allowing photographs and video content from the session to be used on social media, websites, and other marketing materials by the six photographers attending, as well as our content creator.
Where is it?
The location will be Hartlebury Common in Worcestershire.
Models must organise their own travel to/from the location.
What's in it for me?
As a thank you for being part of this special session, you'll receive a complimentary family photoshoot and a full gallery of professionally edited digital images from both Tasha Dowse Photography and Jodie Amelia Photography to keep, download share and treasure.
Who can apply?
We'd love to hear from families of all backgrounds, we are specifically looking for a family with slightly older children age 3-5 and a maximum family of 4. To be considered, you'll simply need to be available on the session date, happy to travel to the location, and comfortable taking part in a photographed and filmed model session.
Previous clients are more than welcome to apply. The only exception is families who already have a session booked with either photographer, as we want to offer this opportunity to a new family.
Remind me when it is again?
The session will be held on Thursday 6th August 5:30pm - 7:00pm.
The session will be approx 60 minutes long. It will be led by myself (Tasha Dowse Photography) and Photos By Jodie Amelia - 4 additional photographers will be taking images during the session but not giving you direction on the day.
Are we the right fit?
We are looking for a family with 1-2 children, with at least one toddler (approx. 3+ years old). You must be comfortable being photographed in a natural, unposed style and open to play, cuddles, and gentle direction.
Be open to styling guidance from the photography team and
coordinate outfits in soft, neutral, or muted tones where possible.
You will also work with us to create a simple, natural wardrobe that complements the location and light.
