WE PROVIDE CREATIVE FAMILY PORTRAITS, ENSURING YOU'LL HAVE MEMORIES TO HANG ON THE WALL FOR YEARS TO COME.
OUR SERVICES
Our family photography focuses on making you comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Whether it’s a studio shoot or going out on location, booking with us ensures you will get some wonderful images to preserve those family memories. We’ve spent many years working with all types of families and know how to make the shoot right for you.
With many years working in schools, we know how to work with both children and adults, and are normally able coax a smile out of just about anyone. We have also worked with families with Special Needs over the years, and are sensitive to some of the difficulties that can be faced. We will also always build in allowances for family shoots to run over, as we know working with children or animals can always surprise you.
WHAT OUR SERVICE INCLUDES
BEFORE THE SHOOT
Once your session is booked, we will make contact with you to discuss the different aspects of the shoot.
First off we will arrange the arrival and setup times and process. We want to make sure that everyone involved in the shoot is as comfortable in front of the lens as possible, so we normally arrive a bit early to have a chat while we are setting up.
We will then discuss the style of shoot you are looking for. This may include questions about the colour or texture of backgrounds, what clothes to wear on the day, different props that may be needed in the shoot.
If we are dealing with a lot of people, we may also need to do a site visit to inspect the shoot location to make sure we can fit everyone in, as well as establishing someone to be in charge of the running order and making sure people turn up when they are meant to – in which case this will also be arranged with you at this time.
ON THE DAY
We turn up as agreed, and we set up the shoot location for you. If we are bringing our studio equipment to you, this involves some paper backgrounds or cloths depending on whats been arranged, as well as putting some lights in the right places where needed. If we are meeting at an external location – park or the woods etc, then we will meet you there at the pre-arranged time.
During this setup time we like to chat and make small talk – the purpose of this is to put you at ease. There is nothing harder to photograph that someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera. Our goal is to help you forget its even there.
Once we get going thats it – there’s nothing else to worry about. You’ll be given direction as needed regarding how to pose etc – or you may just be a natural and dive straight in!
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
Once the shoot is complete, we go away and edit. This process is generally done in two stages. The first stage is to remove any photos that are not up to our standards. While we aim to provide you with as many images as possible from your shoot with us, we will not pad it out with bad quality imagery.
This could include a shadow in the wrong place, awkward stance etc. Small details that make images less than excellent.
Once we have screened the images, we begin the editing. Sometimes it’s a couple of touch ups, other times it can involve a lot of airbrushing and compositing. The general goal here is to get images to the same excellent standard from the same shoot (ie colour matching/shadows the same).
Once the edit stage is complete, we will email you a Google Link for you to download your images from. We normally keep these links active for 60 days, but all work is archived on our external servers for safe keeping.
