Photographer in Temple Fortune

Getting started is simple. Ring 07956 505383 or send a message through the website with a rough idea of the shoot and the dates you have in mind. We then recommend a session, confirm the details in writing and secure the date with a small deposit. After that we plan the day together at an easy pace.

Yes, in your own office, which for a Finchley Road business saves everyone the journey. Every person is shot against the same background with matching light, so the set looks uniform, and we keep people moving so the working day carries on. When someone joins later, we can recreate the same set-up so their headshot matches.

Around a first birthday, your child is given a cake to demolish while we photograph the mess and the delight. The backdrop is ready before they arrive, and they explore it however they like. Pack spare clothes, because it gets sticky.

It depends on the session. A headshot for a Finchley Road business or a family portrait in Big Wood comes back as a tight edit of the best frames, while a full wedding day, perhaps with a civil ceremony at Hendon Town Hall, runs to several hundred finished images. We would rather finish fewer pictures properly than hand over every frame. When you enquire, we will tell you what to expect for your booking.

Yes, albums are one of the things we most enjoy making. Each one is hand-finished, made to last and laid out so the pages tell the story of the day. You help choose the images, and we arrange them so the book reads in order. An album is something you can hand to grandparents or take off the shelf years later, without needing a screen.

Absolutely, and we encourage it. Yes, three-generation photographs are worth arranging while everyone is in one place. Tell us how many are coming when you book, and for a large group we would suggest open space such as Lyttelton Playing Fields, a 9-hectare Barnet park with Mutton Brook running along its northern edge. We will work through every grouping you want, from the whole family to each grandparent with the grandchildren.

Yes, and a maternity shoot works well with a newborn session a few weeks after the birth. Between about thirty and thirty four weeks usually suits best, when the bump shows clearly but you are still comfortable.
