Photography Prices
It's common to find studios charging quite a minimal fee for the initial family photography shoot but when you delve further into the costing's it becomes clear (or not in a lot of cases) that you don't really get much for that and the actual cost inflates, with prints and additional images. Our terms are very straight forward..
A family photoshoot or portrait session with a photographer lasts up to 2 hours, costs £150 and includes 10 digital, enhanced images. We take studio shots with various looks and props as requested. Generally we'll set up a white background to start, shooting group and single portraits, then go to grey and finally black backgrounds. At the end of the session more creative lighting is used with moody shadows, to capture something special for you. This can also include outside photographs if you wish, within the grounds of the studio complex, such as roof-top shots and various other points of interest. Expect this photoshoot to be be around 60-100+ pictures. ALL photographs are captured in full RAW format for maximum size and quality.
You can then choose the ten you would like to included in your package. Further images can be purchased at £10 each and added to the files to enhance. We will archive your original RAW files for a year in case you want to come back for other images at a later date.
You are then free to leave the studio and your pictures in our capable hands for completion. Included at this point is refinement to visual elements such as colour balance, saturation, curves, contrast, high and low shadow mod's (to RAW files) and also removing any unwanted spec's or stray hairs etc (Photoshop). Your finished images will then be exported at full quality as high resolution jpeg's and sent to you via a wetransfer download link.
