frequently asked questions

Have a question about our services that can’t be found within our pages? Browse some of our most frequently asked questions below.

We offer shoots Monday to Friday 9:30am-6:30pm and Saturday 9am – 4pm.

Our Indoor Studio options are available during all opening hours.

Our Outdoor Studio options are weather and daylight dependant and vary in availability according to time of year.

We are on hand to answer any questions, give us a call to discuss what the right options are for you.

Children and often adults get much better results in the morning, after a good nights sleep, having eaten and are feeling happy! Although this all depends on your usual routine.

There is no limit to the number of family members you can include. During the shoot we will photograph each person individually as well as combinations; ie: Mum and Dad, Mum and kids, Dad and kids, Siblings, the whole family.

We understand that each family is unique, and we will discuss the images and combinations you are wanting during our design session.

Absolutely! We understand that pets are a part of the family and have photographed everything from snakes to horses.

Photographing some animals requires special preparation so let us know who will be coming with you to the shoot.

If someone is not feeling well, we will simply re-schedule. We just ask that you let us know as soon as possible.

We style your session to suit your personality. We suggest you bring things that represent your style, personality and hobbies.

Do you or your family play any sport or musical instruments, what are your hobbies, do you collect anything? What is your favourite way to spend your spare time?

For young children, think of what you would bring along on a day out. Snacks, wipes, favourite toys, blankies. Steer clear of snacks like cheezles, that stain faces and fingers. Also hold back on the sweets, sugar highs can come crashing down mid-shoot.

These are all things we discuss during your design consultation.

We suggest bringing a few changes of clothes with you on the day to give you a few options. Natural, earthy tones are suggested; blues, greens, browns, creams all work well together. Steer clear of bold patterns and logos – you don’t want to distract from your faces.

Go for texture rather than pattern, and layering is a great way to add interest while giving you the ability to change the look of your outfit quickly by removing a layer or two.

Everybody wearing the same thing, such as blue jeans and white shirts, can sometimes resemble a uniform.

Of course these are all just suggestions, if bold patterns and bright colours are part of what make you wonderful, wear it!

Nope. Why? Everyone is different and we want to celebrate that!

We recommend that you do what makes you feel your best – after all, when you feel your best it really shines through in the photos.

If you get your hair coloured, do that before the shoot, if you like having your nails done, do that.

Make-up, we suggest doing the same as you would for a nice night out, although if you love to be pampered and made up by someone else and feel that this is what makes you shine, go right ahead!

Gents, have a shave before you come in – or don’t – it all depends on how you feel your best. Just remember the old rule… two weeks to a good haircut!

For the kiddies, full make-up on a child is unnecessary, hair out of eyes is suggested.

Pay special attention to nose, eyes and mouth, make sure there are no remnants of breakfast, snacks or the backyard 🙂 Wet wipes are always a great asset.

At the conclusion of the shoot we will make a sales appointment. This will generally be a week after the shoot date. This is where you will view your photographs from the session and decide which images and products you wish to purchase. For more information head to the General section on this FAQ page.

We include one viewing session per photographic session, therefore it is important for all decision-makers to be present at this time. As there are important decisions being made, we suggest that this is a child-free meeting to ensure you can concentrate on making the right decisions without distraction.

We offer you a selection of tried and tested premium products. Visit our products page to see all that we offer.
