FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PARTICIPATE?
The session fee is £299 to reserve your date and secure your hair and makeup artists.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
It includes a personal styling consultation, a ready mounted print for you to put in your own frame, a £200 credit towards our specially priced Collections and Wall Art. It also includes complimentary professional makeup and hair styling, to make sure you are feeling your best.
You will be able to try 3-5 different outfits at your 1.5 hour fully guided photo session.
You will also receive an invitation for 2 to our private celebration party when all participants have been photographed. Your favourite images from your session will be displayed at this fun event.
CAN I CHOOSE BOUDOIR OR PORTRAITS?
Your session is completely custom designed. It can be entirely boudoir, a mix of boudoir and portraits or just portraits. You can even update your headshot while you are with us. You are not "expected" to do anything you are uncomfortable with. At your phone consultation we go over everything including finding out how YOU want to be photographed.
IS THIS JUST FOR WOMEN?
No. Everyone deserves to have amazing images of themselves, so any age/gender/race/size are welcome. This is all about celebrating YOU.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE BLACK AND WHITE?
These sessions have been designed specifically with black and white in mind to create timeless, artistic images. However, if you need one or two in colour, perhaps for your headshot or profile image, we can of course do that for you.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BUY MORE IMAGES?
You are more than welcome to purchase more images from our specially priced Collections, but it is certainly not a requirement. You have a £200* credit towards our Collections when you view your images. Of course, the more images you purchase the more you save. Collections are from £950, products from £600. No hard sell - guaranteed.
*Not available to use against single images or products, valid towards Collections only. Only 1 voucher per session, no cash alternative.
I'M WORRIED I WON'T LIKE ANY IMAGES!
I completely understand. But our luxury experience and process is different. How often have you been photographed by a professional, who understands lighting, how to guide you in front of the camera so you don't feel awkward, who guides you in what to wear and bring with you, who has studied composition and posing for decades, who is experienced in working with all body shapes and sizes and who is passionate about helping you see your own unique beauty and strength? Plus we are an all female team.
And did I mention I am one of only a handful of Master Photographers with the Portrait Masters in the whole of the UK? You are in safe hands.
I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC - CAN YOU HELP?
Yes of course! You are our favourite client! We specialise in photographing real, everyday people of every age, gender, size who aren't models and think they can't be photographed. We want you to feel more confident in your own skin and celebrate your uniqueness.
We will take good care of you, guide you throughout and make sure you have not only a great time, but images you can be proud of.
All our clients are amazed that they actually like more images of themselves than they thought possible! You can see some of our reviews below.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU SELL?
We have a range of luxury, hand crafted items for your images. Choose from a black velvet or black vegan leather album, black velvet portrait box with your mounted images inside or (our favourite) a piece of wall art.
Our most popular product is our Folio Box, in black or walnut wood, where your favourite image is displayed in the lid as a frame, the rest of your image collection safely nestled below. Change the image in the lid as often as you like. Handmade in Ireland.
CAN I BUY THE DIGITALS?
All our Collections include the matching digital files (web size) of any image you buy, perfect for you to keep on your digital devices.
