Here is a helpful guide to ensure you are prepared for your shoot.

​

Where is the studio located?

My Studio is based in Kirkby-in Ashfield, very close to M1 junction 27 and around 3 miles from Junction 28 of the A38/M1.

I also take enquiries for outdoor on location shoots

Where should I park?

Upon receipt of your deposit you will receive an email from me which will provide you with the address of my studio in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

There is free on street parking directly outside my studio and there is always plenty of space.

What happens first?

If you're interested in me being your photographer, please send me an email or a message on social media (@flowersandhatsphotography) During this conversation we will talk about what I offer and how we can shape that to fit your specific needs.

How long will it last?

Sessions can be as short as 30 minutes or be up to 3 hours depending on what it is you would like me to capture. Newborn portraits take longer because we are working by baby’s schedule. Take a look at my packages for timings and price guidelines. Remember I am flexible and can adjust my packages to suit your needs.

What should I wear?

Wear something you feel comfortable in so you can relax and focus on your shoot. I highly recommended natural colours to maintain focus on the subjects face. Avoid big logos, patterns. Complimentary colours are whites, earth tones, greys and blacks. Team plain tops with jeans or chinos or wear a dress that matches colours.

I am running late for my session or I need to rearrange, what should I do? 

Things don’t always go to plan, I have two children so I totally understand! However, If you’re running late for your session please let me know as soon as you possibly can. I sometimes have session’s booked in one after another so there may not be time to extend your slot. Wherever possible I will try to add extra time on to the end of your session to make up for any time we lost. If I can’t do this I will condense your session to try to get the most out of your booked time in the studio. I cannot be held responsible for loss of time due to lateness.

If you are unable to attend your photoshoot for any reason, please let me know as soon as you can and I will do my best to rearrange to another convenient time. If you fail to turn up and do not give me notice I will not offer a refund.

Please note that deposits are non-refundable.

What happens after the shoot?

I sometimes upload a sneak peek photo for you to view and share with friends and family within 24 hours of the shoot if you give consent. You will receive an online gallery with the allotted images from your photoshoot within 3 weeks of the shoot and and from there you can choose which images to show off on your walls at home! At busy times this timescale may change.

What will I receive?

Each package is different. When you book your session I will confirm what you will receive when your session has taken place. Within 3 weeks you will receive an email invitation to your private online gallery where you can view your images. From there, you can choose your images you would like to keep and you can purchase more if you would like to. Extra digital images are charged at the digital bundle price and paid for on confirmation you would like extra from your session. Photos will be watermarked and will not be made available for download until payment has been received.

Editing

All images are edited using my own styling and sent directly to you usually within 3 weeks as “1st edits”. Once you have chosen which images you would like to purchase I will tweak the image further*, if required, and send you the “Final Edits” to download.

*Please note that only a small amount of retouching (sometimes called photoshopping) is included in the price of each photo shoot. Small details such as bumps or scratches on faces can be edited for you.

​

 Sick Policy

The health and safety of all of my clients is a top priority whether it be at a location or

studio session.

My studio has a strict no-sick policy. Clients are required to disclose and reschedule the session if their child or anyone coming to the studio/session is unwell. Symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose or vomiting in the last 24 hours prior to your session. To reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible. There will be no fee to change your session.

 

Text on 07821 417622 if you can't make your session.

I will try and get back to you as quickly as I can.
