FAQ

Your special offer sitting fee is amazing value; how can you do it so cheaply?

I am very confident you’ll love the portraits that I take. I make my living from families purchasing either the prints or the high resolution CD of the photographs.

How do we book a portrait sitting?

You can either email or ring me, I will try my best to offer a date that suits you. The £20 sitting fee is payable in advance; you can pay by credit / debit card.

What should we wear for the portrait session?

I usually recommend you avoid heavily patterned or very dark clothing. Strong patterns clash with our bright colourful backdrops and dark colours make portraits look too flat.

When do you take your portraits?

Anytime that suits you! Most people prefer weekends, Sundays are always our most popular portrait days.

What are the ideal conditions for your outdoor portraits?

Perfect conditions would be blue skys or light overcast; any other conditions we would offer to re-schedule.

As standard, we contact you the day before the session to either confirm or reschedule. If the forecast is not good, we’ll offer you another date in our diary.

All year round we take portraits, from snow scenes in the winter through to capturing pictures in our wildflower meadow during the summer. The most popular times are spring, summer and autumn for the stunning colours.

There is no limit; my biggest family group to date is 80 people! There's even up to 60 parking spaces!
