2. Pregnancy and Newborn

At about 34 weeks we will come to your home to take pregnancy shots. With our portable back drop and lights any room can be transformed into a studio. Fully clothed or more revealed - the choice is yours.

We return when baby is less than 2 weeks old for the newborn session. This is run entirely at the pace of the new baby.

Feel free to include older siblings and other important members of the family at any of the sessions.

Approximately 2 weeks after the newborn session come to our viewing studio to chose your pictures.

3. Family Days

An innovative fund raising event making use of schools, church halls or care homes. Bring along your favourite possessions and have fun creating some great images.

Customers pay £5 to book a 20 minute session. The organisers nominated charity receives each £5 booking fee and 10% of all sales.

On the day, we set up our portable studio and mobile mini lab. Families can view and purchase images up to 6" x 9" on the day. Large images and specialised finishes can be ordered for later delivery.

By photographing several families consecutively we keep our costs down and can pass these savings on to you. The studio is set up to ensure that each family has privacy and exclusive use during their session.

8. Toddler Groups

We set up our portable studio and mobile mini lab in an area that won't interfere with the normal running of your group.

As parents arrive they take the next numbered queue ticket and wait to be called. After their session they can relax with a drink and choose images from the thumbnail copies that are printed out immediately. Full sized images are printed and purchased on the day. Mini albums and CDs are posted on afterwards.

With our instant printing and payment, there is no more waiting for prints to arrive, chasing orders or lost payments so you and your customers can relax and enjoy the session.

9. School Days

On  "wear what you like" days students are photographed in our portable studio in fun, relaxed poses. Siblings and parents are also welcome to join in. This approach is more time consuming that traditional school photography, typically 2-3 minutes per child. At school pick-up time, viewing stations and prints are on display in the main hall where parents can view and purchase photographs on the day. Depending on the size of school, extra assistance will be brought in to ensure that queuing is kept to a minimum.

10. Leavers' Photos year 6 and 11

Using our portable studio, year 6 and 11 students can be photographed at school in uniform or casual dress. For that extra element of fun, students can be photographed in our 1m square "box" that allows us to combine any number of individual images to create an exciting composite of friends.

Year 6 students will receive proofs a few days after the session. Year 11 students will have the opportunity to choose, order and purchase their photographs prints on the day.
