Where we are
Our studio is based in Church Row Chambers in the heart of Longton, Preston with access via the door to the right of ‘The Lounge’ on Franklands. Turn left when you reach the top of the stairs and we’re the second door on the left.
Our post code for sat nav is PR4 5PD.
Parking
There are a few options for parking:
- There is a car park behind Church Row Chambers with no time limit but this can often be fully occupied by the staff of the businesses.
- Parking is available directly outside the studio but is limited to 1 hour
- There is a car park opposite the studio which usually has good availability with a 2 hour limit.
When to arrive
You are welcome to head up when you arrive. We will always allow an amount of time in between shoots to reset the studio for our next session so you’re welcome to come on in and get settled when you are ready.
The shoot itself
The shoot will last around 1 hour as we find this is the right amount of time before kids get a little restless. We mix up a lot of poses as well as playing games to get some more natural shots as well as the posed ones.
You are more than welcome to bring a couple of changes of clothes to swap into mid way through the shoot to allow a mixture of looks and photos. We find clothing that are block colours work best without a lot of branding on them which can detract from the subject.
If you are looking to have full family/sibling shots look to dress in matching or similar colour palette clothing as this works best on camera.
We welcome pets in the studio! If you’re bringing a dog, please make sure they have been on a walk before your shoot to relieve themselves!
Feel free to bring anything to get the attention of your kids (or dogs!) - we may pinch them to get them to look at the camera.
That’s it, just come, have some fun and get some gorgeous photos!
After the shoot
After the shoot we’ll get you images edited and invite you back to the studio for a viewing. Here you can take a look through all the images and decide on your final product.
Artwork is available to view on at the studio if you would like a piece of art ready to hang at home. Digital images will be hosted in your own private dropbox folder to download and use as you wish.
