Having your portrait taken in a professional photography studio is a fun and enjoyable experience. You get the opportunity to capture a moment in time, record a special event, or capture the joy of your children to keep or share with family and friends.

Perhaps you want a studio portrait photograph to adorn your Myspace page or to increase your responses on an online dating service. It doesn’t matter why you want to have a studio portrait photograph done, what matters is understanding why will help you to decide on the mood of the photograph, the clothes you should wear or how you do your hair.

Studio portraits don’t have to be formal affairs. Perhaps you wish to appear differently from all your regular photographs. Have you thought of being a supermodel or perhaps dressing up as 007? The beauty of doing this is that it can be exciting and fun to dress up as someone else. It may even lead to a new career as an actor or model if your picture gets spotted.

Once you have decided on what you want to achieve in terms of the type and mood of your photographic portrait, you need to make a booking to for the actual photographic session (refered to as a ’sittiing’).

You can pay by cheque or by credit card via Paypal secure online payment gateway. If paying by cheque please allow at least 5 days before the session date for your cheque to clear.

At the session

In our discussions, we will have already decided on the length of session you require and the type of photoshoot you want to have. At the session is the time to have some fun and get the actual images done.

We will spend some time going through what you want to achieve with your look or looks and you’ll be encouraged to be as creative as you like with the poses.

Session times are not unlimited so it is important that you come ready to go to work. There is a hair and make up area and communal bathroom facilities at the studio, however unless you have booked a full 3 hour session make-over session, you will find time will run out if not prepared beforehand.

After the Session

Once the photography session has been completed, there will be the opportunity to go through all the photographs taken and for you to pick the studio portraits that you would like to purchase.

We offer a number of different sizes from A4 to A2, and formats. You can even get your studio portrait printed on Canvas if desired at very reasonable rates.

Fees start at £125 which includes the sitting fee. A 25% deposit is payable up front. This deposit will be deducted from the total price once you have decided on the number of studio portraits you wish to order. If you do not order any portraits at the end of the session, the deposit will not be refunded.
