How long does a portrait photography shoot last?

Ultimately, it’s completely up to you how long you’d like to book me for. Depending on your budget and requirements, a portrait photography session could last anywhere from 1 hour to a few hours.

What should I wear for a portrait photoshoot?

In order to capture shots you're happy with, it's important you wear something you're comfortable in for your portrait photoshoot. Of course, your clothing depends largely on the brief and your requirements. At the end of the day, this is your portrait shoot, so it's entirely up to you, or your stylist, what you choose to wear.

Where can we hold the portrait photography shoot?

Depending on your requirements, we can hold the shoot indoors at your home, place of work or another hired location, or we can shoot outdoors at a local beauty spot, such as a beach or park. If you have some ideas in mind, I’d be happy to discuss this with you when you book your portrait shoot with me.

Can we choose a location?

Absolutely. If you have a favourite location, such as a beach, park, or a beautiful view, I’d be happy to discuss locations with you in order to choose the best location for you shoot.

Do you have a photography studio we can come to?

While I don’t have a permanent studio space for you to come to, I do have a portable mobile studio that I can easily transport to your home, or place of business.

Will my portrait be retouched, or edited?

I edit all images using professional editing software.

How many images will I get from my portrait photoshoot?

It really depends on your needs and the project brief. Sometimes, it's possible to get the perfect shots really quickly. Whereas, other times it requires a little more persistence to get shots you're satisfied with. We'll discuss your needs before and during the portrait shoot to ensure we hit the nail on the head and deliver photographs you love.

How will my photos be delivered?

I will provide your photos via a downloadable online album, for which I will email you the link. If required, I can provide a USB stick containing the files, at extra cost. If you require physical prints, I am happy to discuss this further.

When will our photos be ready?

Images will be edited and delivered to you within 7 days of your photoshoot. I am able to provide images within 24 hours, or on the same day, for an additional cost, if required.

How much does a portrait photoshoot cost?

Portrait photography prices start from £50. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs and budget, and I’d be happy to work out a package and price that suits you.

How far do you travel for portrait photography and headshots?

I regularly work with clients on portrait photography projects and business headshots in Devon, Dorset and Somerset, as well as throughout the UK. Please get in touch to check if I can cover your location.

Do you have insurance?

I am fully insured with public liability and indemnity insurance specifically for professional photographers.

What sets you apart from other portrait photographers?

My style is ‘relaxed’ where I do my best to put you at your ease and capture the images that truly reflect you; even if you hate having your photo taken!

Can you come to my home, or place of work?

Absolutely. If you have a space in your home or workplace, you’d be happy to use, I’d be happy to travel to you. I also have a mobile, portable studio I can easily transport if needed.

What file sizes do you provide?

Files provided via an online album will be delivered at up to 2 MB and 300dpi. However, the pixel size remains the same so these files are adequate for printing. If different dimensions are required, i.e. 72dpi, please let me know.

Do you provide prints?

A full range of professional printing is available with prints onto a variety of paper or different mediums. I am happy to discuss a variety of options to meet your needs.
