The portrait photography is Free.



BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Prior to the photos being taken I like to agree with you what you are looking for and discuss ideas.

I will also need to establish whether you prefer colour / black & white / sepia or a mixture.

The sitting usually lasts around 1 hour or less.


AFTER YOUR SESSION

Within a week of the sitting we will arrange to meet up for the viewing. Orders will be placed and paid for at this time. There will usually be upwards of 20 images to choose from, often many more.

I can advise about different print sizes and also the different paper finishes available.

I will then deliver the chosen prints within 1 to 2 weeks from the viewing.



TIPS FOR YOUR SESSION


These hints are to help ensure you get the best results from your session. Follow this advice and you will get much more memorable, natural portrait photographs.

1 Wear clothing that is neutral. Simple clothing always looks best on photographs. Bright colours, patterns, checks and logos tend to dominate the photograph and distract from the face. There are exceptions to this rule however. For example, in winter outdoor portraits of children, bright coats and hats can look wonderful.

2 If the photograph is of more than one person please dress in colours that blend together so that nobody stands out. Clothing should be of a similar type e.g. all casual in jeans or all dressed more formally.

3 Some people are lucky enough to be able to wear any colour, but most of us have either a warm or a cool undertone to our skin. If you have a warm tone wear clothes with a warm hue (e.g. autumn colours, orange, beige) and for cool skin wear cool colours (e.g. blue, pink, purple). Wearing colours that compliment your skin tone will make your skin appear clearer and brighter on the photographs.


4 Accessories look great in photos with children and babies - , if you wish bring, toys, hats, teddies at the ready!

5 Bring a change of clothes to get a couple of different looks for your session.

6 Relax and enjoy the session.
