"You don't take a photograph, you make it."
Why not Let The Studio Come to You.
With our portable fully professional backdrops and lighting setup, we are able to come to our home or space of your choice.
The benefit of portraits taken at home is that the resulting images have a more relaxed look than a traditional studio sessions.
Children are more comfortable in their own environment, so it makes sense to have their portraits done at home. Getting those precious smiles from them is much easier in a their own environment.
The Session
Portrait sessions vary in length of time, based on the type of session you require and how many people are being photographed.
The Portrait Package include:
-
All images will have been post processed and a selection converted to black and white. This processing is time consuming work but you’re sure to have an amazing selection of images of your Session.
-
You will also get your very own password protected Portrait website for yourself, family and friends. This allows them to not only view the photos online but also to order prints, from the site directly.
