Photography Prices

A family photoshoot or portrait fixed package studio (and outside if requested) 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 photographs at a later date.
