So, are you camera shy?

You don’t have to be the most confident person in the world to get through life without a hitch, but to have that little bit more confidence is always a plus.  As photographers we meet so many people some love the camera and are a natural and some well… are just plain scared.
Below are 3 tips which will help you achieve better photos from your shoot.
1)  Preparation & Planning....  Soon as you have booked your shoot speak with the photographer and let them know your fears, being scared is natural so make sure you let us know your fears, I’m sure we’ve heard them all before.  The photographer will talk you through step by step exactly what is going to happen at the shoot and give you loads of creative options so you can decide what’s right for you and prepare yourself 


“Planning & Preparation = Success”

2)  Want to take a risk....  You may be a really confident person but would love a photoshoot that pushes your boundaries ie: boudoir or lingerie, we have a female photographer on site should you feel more comfortable.  Don’t ever be embarrassed or scared to ask, photography is our art and we take it very seriously, some of the most valuable paintings and photographs in the world are those of natural beauty.
3)  What if my kids don’t like it….   They say never work with Children or Animals – we work with both so hopefully that sums it upJ.   We always recommend that families attend a 15-20 minute consultation at the studio a minimum of 1 week before your actual shoot.  That way you can talk through ideas with the photographer and leave with a clear vision for your family shoot, it’s also a chance for the children to have a look round so on the day it’s not a strange environment.  We occupy the 1st floor of a Mill; it’s very spacious and ideal for families.

Do we judge a book by its cover?

Take poor Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) currently going through a really hard time in Emmerdale, he's been accused of burning down the village!! when we all know it was that nasty detective.  

Our photographers have had the pleasure in meeting Kelvin first in person at Michelle Marsh's wedding where we took this picture of him enjoying the night. 

He is was a very pleasant and down to earth person - question: have any of you thought to yourself.. I don't like him because you don't like his character?... well your not the only one.. and boy were we surprised, he's a really really nice man and likes a good party :-)

Have you ever met an actor or actress who you thought was a really nice person, yet their character is a nasty piece of work.
