Location PortraitsAny ideas you may have as far as clothing, your own props, photos with friends, pets, or a location of your choosing. Our main goal is to portray you or your family in a meaningful and unique way, and hearing about your interests and likes helps us to accomplish that.You may bring whatever outfits you want to wear. However, there are some clothes that photograph better than others. Patterns and words tend to be distracting. The brighter the patterns, the more distracting they will be. This isn't to say that patterns or words are ALWAYS a bad idea - if you really like the outfit please bring it - but solids generally photograph better than bright patterns. Certain colors look better outside. We suggest mid-toned solids or darker color solids like black, any kind of blue, browns, reds (or burgundy), purples, or grey. Yellow can also work (but tighter fitting yellow outfits can accent weight). Young women may wear dresses or skirts outside, but pants allow a greater range of poses and are recommended. Orange, teal, any kind of green (except deep, forest green), and pink tend to clash with many park locations, especially areas with the green of trees or grass - but are fine in other locations. Keep in mind that lighter colors (especially white), tight fitting tops, and horizontal lines tend to accent weight (very loose fitting white will usually look fine). If you don't want your arms to be obvious, wear a long sleeve shirt instead of a short sleeve or a tank top. Darker colors (especially black), loose-fitting clothing, and vertical lines have a more slimming effect. You are more than welcome to bring your own props! These could include sports items like a football or surfboard, musical instruments, collections, classic cars, your favorite flower or rose petals, your Harley Davidson, blankets, hats, your horse or even your RAF Tornado fast jet fighter plane !!!!! or any other personal object that is meaningful or relates to your own personal interests or your child's. Use your imagination! We try to schedule location sessions to take advantage of the best times of day (and year). Outdoor light looks best earlier in the day and later. Sunrise and sunset are considered 'magic' times for many photographers and artists. The beginning and end of the day have the other advantage of being relatively cooler than the middle of the day in the summer. We can schedule studio portrait and headshot sessions at any time during daylight hours. If there is poor weather on the day of your scheduled portrait session, a re-scheduling will be arranged at no extra charge. A deposit of £50 is required when making your booking and an average 2hr shoot within 15 miles of Edinburgh costs £225 inclusive of a 10 x 8 hard back book of 10 of your images. Many other products are available, from bespoke wallpaper of your photographs to beautiful multi aperture frames, all at very reasonable prices. |
