If the thought of having lifestyle headshots taken for your business fills you with dread, then why not consider a smartphone shoot instead. The smartphone is more discrete when you are out and about, so less chance of anyone noticing what you are doing, you can choose which photos you would like over a coffee at the end of the shoot, and have the edited images sent over to you while you wait. If you are worried about the quality of the photos, then please don't worry as the image size is compatible to a DSLR camera.

The shoot is 1 hour long
Shoot can take place either at your home, place of work or out on location.
2-3 changes of outfit
Price includes 5 edited images, chosen by you, usually sent over while you wait (or within a few hours if necessary)
Soft refreshments included (if on location)
Travel expenses may be added.

Great idea for a baby shower gift or for antenatal classes.

With the new arrivals gift voucher, you can choose what you would like to focus on.
Options include:-

How to document your own 'birth' story photos. The first photos of your little one's arrival are the most important. Learn how to create your own birth story images that you can easily make into an album or book. Look at the best angles to shoot from - the close up shots - the expressions, the room (whether it's a home birth or hospital), name tags, time on the clock (really important in a sequence of events), and then when the baby is just born - the first cuddle, mum's elation, etc.

Next, there is a newborn session, showing the new parents how to get the newborn photos - the close ups of the feet, hands, beautiful black and white timeless photos that you can see being taken at home (holding baby, with the family dog, etc).

Alternatively, mum may just want some 'me' time, and time away from the baby learning a new skill that she can then replicate in taking photos of the baby.

This also works well for antenatal classes. I come to your antenatal class, and show you how to document the birth, first days and all the little details in between. A nice treat at the end of the course.

You don't have to make the decision as to what you would like focus on when you buy the voucher - this can be made when booking.
