That is how most people open, so a sitting gets designed around it. You are handed a task instead of a pose: a jacket to pull on, somewhere to walk towards, a question to answer. The opening frames count as warming up and seldom end up among the ones you keep, which takes the weight off the part everybody dreads.

Two hours suits Cassiobury, because it is a large park and a decent share of that goes on covering the distance between one sort of ground and the next. An hour is plenty in the Northwood studio, since everything needed already stands in the room and no walking is involved. Both allow room to change what you are wearing.

Bring several options and something warm to go over them. The park is open ground with water running through it and holds the cold long after the streets have let it go, and nobody looks at ease while shivering. Mid tones and plain fabric hold up well against grass and water, while bright white and bold pattern both argue with that background instead of working alongside it.

Yes, and the park suits them. The towpath gives two people somewhere narrow to walk side by side, which achieves far more with a self conscious couple than any request to look natural. Walking together also answers the question of where to put your hands, and that question is what makes most couples seize up on an open lawn.

An edited online gallery comes first, and you choose your favourites from it. Prints, framed pieces, canvases and hand-finished albums can be ordered from it, or you can simply keep the digital files. Retouching stays light, so the person in the picture still looks like you.
