It's mini session time, now what?

How to Find Me.


I have a new studio situated at:

Yacht Haven Quay

Breakwater Road

Plymouth

PL9 7FE


Google maps will bring you to Yacht Haven Quay.

Once you get to the boatyard, you'll go through the main gates (they will be already open), my little studio is soon after on the right. You can park directly outside of the studio. If you see the Mess Room, you've gone too far!


What to Wear and Bring?


I get asked this a lot, and it's actually surprisingly important what you wear for your session. My studio is light, airy and natural, and for the best portraits: I advise you to opt for a similar style in your wardrobe. Whilst many clients choose to wear whites, this isn't essential: but plain, neutral clothing will really help in create uncomplicated, impactful images. Whites, beiges, muted pinks, stone and browny colours are some of my favourite choices for photoshoots, as they mean that your outfits work with my studio and don't stand out too much against it: meaning that it's you and your family that we're focussing on.


For any Christmassy images, sparkles are of course encouraged ! This year's Christmas sessions are quite natural and I add glitter and snow after the session, so wintery colours: greens, burgundies, reds and whites will all look perfect. I still highly recommend to keep your outfits nice and simple (see below for some inspiration)


IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!


My studio is pretty small, and I shoot on both sides of the studio. Therefore, please try to bring in only your family and anything you need in your images. You can park right outside, so there's no problem with going out and grabbing anything you need if required!


I also have lots of little hands touching the floor, and the studio is very white and clean, so I also ask you to please leave you shoes outside the studio (there is a box provided).

Just Bring in Yourselves!

Please leave as much as you can in the car, my studio is small and I shoot from all angles, so the less stuff, the better! I also ask you to remove your shoes before you come in, white floors are tricky to keep clean!

Some FAQs

Eek, we're running late, what shall I do?


If you're running more than 5-10 minutes late for a mini session, please send me a text or call just to let me know. As mini session days are quite full, I may have a family straight after you, so we may be required to reschedule.

Can I bring props?



Your session is exactly that: yours. So if you want to bring along something for your session that has significance to your family, please bring it along. Special toys, blankets, etc, I love seeing them and using them in sessions.

What do I do if I get lost?


Just give me a call. I often recommend popping in 'The Mess Room' cafe in your satnav, if you head there, then you're very very close to me! Also very near my studio is: The Royal Mail Sorting Office, Morrisons Plymstock, and Super Tramp!
