Visiting Tips

Posted on December 15th, 2008 by William Dunning

We listen to you!


Whether you are thinking about or have already chosen our facility for your photographs, we can assure you of a friendly welcome and our best professional efforts.
We offer a competitive service and take great personal pride in giving you the very best service. Portraits need to say something about you as an individual or about your family. We are creative, but we balance this with simplicity, making our style communicate your story.
It is important to give consideration to how your portraits are going to be viewed. Most of the family portraits we produce are informal and relaxed.
Have you seen a picture that you like? We have a selection of ideas to suit most requirements. As we go through the session we will be able to tailor make the photoshoot to your requirements.

Presentation tips


Clothing
We shoot against a white background, so often predominantly white clothing does not produce the best results.
As a rule complementary non-patterned colours give the best results, but as long as you are comfortable with what you are wearing. If you look at the group and your eye is drawn to one particular clothing colour which stands out, then this is not a complementary colour and will detract from the composition.
Our customers often choose to be photographed with bare feet as shoes often detract from the composition.

Hair & Makeup
Feel free to bring combs and brushes for that last minute tidy.
Keep any makeup light and fresh, but most of all make sure you are happy with the result.

The images you finally choose will be individually cropped and enhanced. This is a time-consuming and skilled process which makes our portraits look better and different to any other. Images can either be written to CD in high resolution or printed to the highest standard.
After you have collected your portraits we ask for your help in improving our service, and our customers have come up with some great ideas. We really do listen.
