Everything you need to know

Quality photography is an investment, one that your whole family will enjoy for generations to come. When it comes to paying for your portrait session and images, I believe in transparency.

All the following prices include VAT and are valid for three months from the date of your photoshoot. A 10% discount applies to orders placed at your viewing session.

Family portrait session fees

These prices refer to on-location shoots in London. I’m happy to travel anywhere in the UK when an extra charge to cover my expenses and travel costs will be added. This fee doesn’t include any prints or products, which are purchased separately at your viewing session.

 

  • Monday-Friday £495
  • Weekends/Bank Holidays £595

Print-ready digital files

Most clients choose to buy beautiful albums and amazing framed images for their homes, enjoying their pictures every day. They also love to have digital copies of each image to preserve them for the future.

Each digital image is processed to our same exacting high standards and, for your convenience, resized to our usual print dimensions. This allows you to upload them to your lab’s website with ease and confidence.

  • I want you to have the best of both worlds, so all the processed digital files are included free in orders over £1995.
  • If you’d prefer to purchase the digital files on their own and make your own prints, the complete set is £1750.
  • Single images as a digital file are £250 each (subject to a minimum spend of £1000), perfect for Christmas cards.

Albums

When it comes to telling your family story, albums are unparalleled. The most popular way to display images, they showcase the majority of the photos from your shoot.

At your viewing session, we’ll suggest an album layout for your consideration, designed to reflect your pictures at their absolute best. You’re also welcome to adapt how the images are combined.

Beautifully made, all albums are durable enough to stand the test of time. Photographic prints are heat-sealed onto thick card pages to give a truly luxurious feel.

Mini-albums are made to the same exacting standards. When ordered alongside a 12″ x 12″ feature album, these scaled-down versions are the perfect gift for grandparents, godparents and extended family.

 

  • 12″ x 12″ feature album from £1250
  • 6″ x 6″ mini-album from £825*

Framed fine art prints

Choose from three elegant ‘house’ frames: fine-grained tulip wood finished in black, white or natural oak complemented with a white window mount. Printed using the highest quality fine art papers, prints are heat-sealed onto a backing board to preserve their integrity.

If you require a particular type of frame moulding to complement your home’s interior decor, we’ll work closely with our framers to create the perfect style for you.

Unframed fine art prints

Unframed prints are a cost-effective way to buy a wide selection of images and the perfect option if you’d prefer to use your own frames or photo albums.

All images are printed on fine art papers of the quality usually found in art galleries and museums. The papers also comply with the highest archival standards, guaranteeing that your prints will look great for years to come.

 

  • Unframed prints are subject to a minimum order of 10.
  • 6″ X 4″, 7.5″ X 5″, 9″ X 6″ or 12″ X 8″ £85

Aluminium floating mount

For a highly contemporary style ideally suited to modern homes, aluminium floating mounts are simply stunning. Designed to create the appearance of a floating image, your chosen print is mounted onto a sheet of polished aluminium. The metal is visible around the edge of the image, which is mounted onto a sub-frame or wooden baton that secures the picture to the wall.

 

  • 18″ X 12″ £595
  • 24″ X 16″ £695
  • 30″ X 20″ £855
  • 60″ X 40″ £1750

Tray frame

Another contemporary option, tray frames have no glass or window mount, offering a combination of a wooden frame with a modern finish. Your image is mounted onto a lightweight composite of aluminium and PVC, which is incredibly strong but also lightweight. The narrow edge of the wooden frame is visible when viewed from the front, with a deeper edge around the sides.

 

  • 18″ X 12″ £595
  • 24″ X 16″ £695
  • 30″ X 20″ £855
  • 60″ X 40″ £1750

Acrylic reverse

Your photograph is backed with black or white acrylic before clear acrylic is mounted onto the surface of the print. This technique extends the archival life of the image. The edges are also diamond polished for a smooth, glossy finish. The acrylic reserve is hung using a metal sub frame or wooden baton, giving it the appearance of floating on the wall.

 

  • 18″ X 12″ £595
  • 24″ X 16″ £695
  • 30″ X 20″ £855
  • 60″ X 40″ £1750
