How will the session run on the day?
There’s not really much to prep - just come in and we’ll have a chat first and then take some pics! It’s a very chilled vibe - I get lots of people who don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera but we put your favourite music on and keep chatting throughout the session.
The studio is a cosy safe space with female photographer Colette.
Bring a range of colours/ textures/ neck lines that you like and I will help you choose 💖 -
What's the difference between the packages?
So the “digital” package is 1 hour, shooting on just the digital camera with 3 final edits.
The “film” package is also 1 hour, shooting on both digital and film cameras (you get to keep the unedited 10 shots on film) with 5 overall edits.
“The works” is longer - 1 hour 30 mins with 15 shots on film which you also get to keep unedited and 7 overall edited images.

How long is the session?
Your headshot session will last approximately one hour, during which we will capture numerous photos with a variety of coloured backgrounds and professional studio lighting.

What do I wear?
Please bring a selection of 3 outfits with a range of colours, textures, and necklines you love, and I’ll help you choose what works best!
I suggest keeping away from too many distracting patterns, to ensure the best results. The majority of actors I’ve shot bring 3 different vibes to represent a range of roles 1: Fun/young/cute/ bright 2: Neutral 3: Serious/ gritty/ darker -
What will I get/ when will I get it?
After the session, you will receive your online contact sheets. You will then have 2 weeks to select your favourite 3 edited images for me to edit (colour grade and retouch). You will receive your final edits within 2 weeks. If you would like to purchase the whole unedited gallery for £64.99 I will send you a download pin to download all the images and use as you wish.
-
Can I pay for extra edits?
You also have the option to add any extra edits for £34.99 before or after the session once you have received your contact sheets.
Looking forward to meeting you!

What if I need to reschedule?
A non-refundable payment is required up front to secure the booking. Please only book if you are 100% certain on your decision. We are a small business so we do ask you to keep this cancelation policy in mind before booking a session.
You can reschedule for free as long as we have 72 hours notice before the date and time of your original session. If the request is made within the 72-hour window, a reschedule will cost £50.We're on a tight schedule and want to ensure that everyone receives their full session. Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse time for late arrivals.

Help I'm Late!
If you are more than 30 minutes late we will have to rearrange the booking, resulting in a £50 rescheduling fee.
