Prices & information
Studio Portraits
All portraits are bespoke and one of a kind.
I have tried to price my family photography and non commercial studio portrait time as affordable as possible.
All shoots take time, from setting up the lighting all the way to the finished edited photograph.
I want to take beautiful photographs of people who are looking for them.
Every time I try to take the best photograph I possibly can at that moment,
trying to make it better than all the ones I've taken before it
It's not about placing someone in front of the same basic background & lights every time,
tell them to smile & take the same photograph over & over again.
It's about capturing a moment.
From the first enquiry, customers are invited to come to the studio for a quick chat.
Here we will discuss what type of portrait you are looking for, who the person is, and how you want them to look.
We will talk about different background options, and the type of lighting you would like.
So when you arrive for your shoot, we all know the style and feel of the portrait you are looking for.
From then, we will book a time slot which is convenient.
A deposit is required at the time of booking.
This is because I have to prepare the lighting and backgrounds for every shoot in advance, as each one is unique.
And also because there are a limited amount of sessions available each week.

All studio time booked is private, and you and your family wont be getting their photograph taken whilst anybody else is waiting on their turn.
This is art, not a production line.
At home / on location
​
​
Family photography in the comfort of your own home or location of your choice.
Half day - up to 4 hours:
£300
Full day - up to 7 hours:
£500
You will get as many fully edited photos as the time allows us to manage set-ups / compositions.
We will have a quick chat to discuss how you want the photographs to look, and talk about possible different set-ups and locations.
I have many years of experience from my time working on lifestyle / at home shoots for Hello and OK magazines where we would use the home as a location, showing off both your family and home to it's best potential.
Or these shoots can be done at home, or at any location of your choosing, maximising the potential of the shoot in some of the wonderful landscapes in south west Scotland. Using natural light or exterior studio flash, to create that magazine editorial look.
Product / still life

background removal.
Whether you want multiple basic photos with simple lighting against the same background.
Or a complex lighting set-up with art direction and design - I charge the same amount per hour.
Key Factors in determining costs:
Project Complexity

(e.g., white background, minimal editing): Lower end of the range.
Complex set-ups
(e.g., custom lighting, props, 360-degree shots): Higher rates.

Commercial / corporate / advertising
Social Enterprise
& Third sector

These reduced rates are dependant on
the clients ability to prove that they are actually
working in the third sector and contributing to
the community.
​All of my photographs will be edited in Photoshop to a standard which I am happy to put my name on it / present it as one of my own.
This includes removing any light blemishes the middle my have the misfortune to have occurred that day, as we all need a little tidy up at times, and I want people to get the best photograph they can.
I will also spend some time enhancing the colours etc, to make the best possible image.
​
If there is the likelihood that you may require any further editing this can be arranged at the time of booking the session, and charged at editing rates listed below.
All photographic rates include a selection of the usable - edited images.
These are supplied digitally in whatever format the client wishes: emailed in a link, or supplied on a memory stick etc.
All images will be edited images in Photoshop, and can be organised into a book or framed prints if required.
This would only be charged as an editing fee (£30 p/h), as my primary objective is that my clients have the photographs displayed for them to enjoy.
​
Travel anywhere required. Free for the first 50 miles, then charged at 45p per/mile. 50% deposit is due when booking the shoot,
and the rest made payable before the transfer of the finished photographs.
Arrangements can be made too help with pick-up & delivery of items to be photographed.
