The following information is for those people thinking of booking a portfolio shoot, or indeed for those that have already booked. Please ensure you read all of the information on the page, as it may be very relevant to your shoot, and can help you prepare correctly, and get the most from the shoot. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Portfolios are an individual service, and the requirements can vary greatly from case to case. Please contact us with details of what you need, we can then put a guide price together for you. We can assure you however, that our prices will probably be far lower than competitors, and our service far better. We do not require you to sign a contract to buy prints. Try to find that anywhere else!

In the first instance, please contact us with your requirements. We can then let you know what the costs will be, and the length of shoot required. We can then book a mutually agreeable shoot day / time. Please note we may require a deposit of £50 to confirm the booking. The remainder of the sitting fee is payable at the shoot. The deposit is refundable if you cancel at least 48hrs before the shoot.

We work hard to ensure that you are 100% delighted with your images. When you view your proof images, if you are not happy, we will refund 50% of the sitting fee paid, and not require you to purchase any prints. Please note, we cannot refund against prints already ordered. We can only refund the sitting fee if you do not order any prints. We check all prints when they come back from the printers, and any that have defects will be reprinted at no cost to yourself, before they are sent onto you.

This depends entirely on your requirements. We can offer advice to ensure you get the results you need, be it to reinforce a current portfolio, or start a new one from nothing. Generally a portfolio will have a range of different shots and styles, in a range of different outfits. We will also apply digital techniques to the images to achieve different results. Some examples of our portfolios shots can be found in the gallery.

Full address details will be sent when you book, as well as contact telephone numbers. We are just a couple of miles outside of Leicester, and on main bus routes. We have off street parking if you are driving.

Obviously, ensure you bring the changes of clothes you wish for you photographs! Please don't bring too much, as each change of clothes eats into your available time. Clothing choices will usually have been discussed ahead of the shoot, but you can of course bring what you want - think your choices out well though, to make the most of your shoot. Try to ensure you bring a couple of plain items such as T-shirt (without motifs) and Jeans. Bring any make up you may need, and equipment for hair / make up, as this wont be provided beyond mirrors and washing facilities. Don't turn up in heavy makeup - it is better to apply it as needed in subtle amounts. Try to ensure your nails either have no coloured varnish on, or if they are coloured, ensure they are in good order and not half finished!

Unfortunately, we do not have the space in the studio for people not being photographed, or facilities for them to wait. For our own security, cannot allow people to go unsupervised in the house, and so we cannot allow people other than the model to be in the house once the shoot starts. There are facilities in the village for people to get a coffee / bite to eat whilst the shoot takes place, or there is plenty of shopping available in Leicester. You can then give them a call when you need picking up, or we can arrange a taxi for you.

The photographs taken are generally not reviewed on the day of the shoot. After the shoot, we carefully select the best images, and apply enhancements as required to get the best results. Once ready, the proof images are displayed securely on the website, for you to view at your convenience. To view your proofs, please click here...

We do not clock watch. We would rather take a little longer and get the best results. That said, we do obviously have a rough guide time for the shoot (this will have been agreed in advance), and cannot over-run this by too much. Please help us to get the best results for you, by keeping the shoot as efficient as possible. Try to keep any time taken for clothing changes to a minimum.

All of our prints are covered by copyright. Even the ones you purchase. This is standard practice. Details on what you can and cannot do with the images will be supplied at the time of ordering. In summary though, the things you would normally need to use your portfolio prints for will be ok. You cannot however copy, sell or publish the images. We can transfer the copyright to you, at an additional cost, if you wish. You can then do what you please with the images.
