Portrait Photography Pricing
Bump, baby & family portraits are an investment, and here I’d like to give you an idea of the costs, and walk you through the options for preserving your memories in print too.
So when you first when you sign up for a portrait experience, I charge a photoshoot booking fee of £125, and then you pay for your chosen collection AFTER you have viewed your photographs.
Around a week after your photoshoot, you’ll receive an email from me letting you know that your finished photos are ready to view.
It’s worth pointing out that other than the portrait photography experience, everything else happens remotely via your computer for your convenience. Most people opt to view when the children are asleep!
I will still walk you through every step, and explain your options, both when we are together, and with a quick video guide too.
Examples of all the print products will be displayed at the studio when you come in for your portrait photography experience, plus your private gallery will have photos of each item too. It’s just nice to see things in real life!
Once you’ve had the chance to see your photographs and marvel for a bit, you’ll let me know which of the collections (of three) you want to purchase.
Once you have decided, you’ll make your payment, and then have a full month to select the specific digital files and print items you want to use to fill that collection. All delivered directly to your door.

THE COLLECTIONS
My goal is to create photographs you are proud to display, not leave unseen in a drawer.
I believe having family photos around the house, makes it a home.
What you are planning to do with your photographs is perhaps the most important aspect to consider when you are planning for your photoshoot, but it’s all too often the aspect that’s overlooked … all the time and money invested deserve a better return than photos gathering dust on your hard drive somewhere.
You’ll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on screen as you will seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album, hence why I include a substantial print credit with every collection.
All my collections include a mix of digital files and print credit, enabling you to print the ones you love – it’s the BEST way to keep your memories safe, but I understand you still want to have a digital copy too.
My collections start at £799.

You can. Although I would highly recommend that you use your included print credit towards either prints, wall art, or an album as printing is the best way to preserve your memories.
You are under no obligation to use it, it is complimentary and therefore has no cash value. There is no obligation to redeem.
