My aim as a family and social portrait photographer is to give you a truly memorable experience. Whether it is your first time in a studio setting, or you have been to other studios, my approach is always to allow you to feel welcome, so you can relax and enjoy the session. You can bring just yourself, or if you like, anything that will help illustrate your personality. Maybe something from work, play, hobbies or interests.

The Families and Children and Personal portrait photography Galleries below show that my fully equipped studio, near Reading, Berkshire, allows me to capture many different types of portrait.

If you wish, I am happy to shoot at other locations of your choice – for example, if you have a favourite local place.

I charge only £50 for a shoot lasting around an hour.

This price includes £50 worth of photo credits, which can be put towards your choice of prints or frames.

Soon after your family or personal portrait photography session you will receive a CD presentation of around 30 digital images. In your own time you are then free to choose your favourite portraits and order your prints.

My single image print prices start at only £8 for a 6x4 inch (15x10cm).

I also offer Montage options with multiple images from the shoot presented on larger-scale prints, which helps reduce the need for you to choose as you can have a selection of your favourite images on the same print. There is an example of a Montage Portrait in the Families and Children Portrait Gallery. A typical large montage print will contain between 5-10 images.

I have been awarded Enhanced Clearance to work with children or vulnerable adults by the Government's Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), the agency which carries out checks on the suitability of teachers and carers.
