  • Your Portrait Experience starts with a relaxed and fun Portrait Session in one of our beautiful studios. Our experienced photographers, all trained by founder Mark Strachan, will create stunning images of you and your loved ones.

We aim to create a timeless full family portrait that you’ll treasure forever, followed by additional compositions once the main portrait is created and everyone is settled into the space. Our photographers will guide you through a variety of poses with each composition, ensuring we capture the perfect representation of your family.

    Examples of our work can be found here.

  • Directly after your Portrait Session, you will be booking your Portrait Ordering Appointment.

    To save you having to come back through traffic on another day, your Portrait Ordering Appointment happens in the comfort of your very own home via Zoom. During this Appointment, we will provide you with valuable advice in selecting your family’s portraits and we will ensure that what you decide is right for you, your family and your home.

Our skilled team oversees every detail, ensuring that your portraits are crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, with multiple team members dedicated to maintaining exceptional quality throughout the process.

    Immediately following your Portrait Ordering Appointment, each chosen image is carefully assessed, with adjustments made to colour, the brightening of eyes, softening of skin and the removal of blemishes and flyaway hair to ensure everyone looks their best. We aim to enhance the natural beauty of each portrait while staying true to the essence of those we photograph.

  • Firstly, for the safety of our staff and other clients, pets must remains on lead at all times. Our photographer will let you know when is the right time to remove the lead. We only ask this as in our many years of experience, some pets can get a little excited/nervous when in a new environment or around new people. So for everyone’s sake, we ask that they remain on lead until instructed otherwise.

  • "Our first family photo shoot will be one to remember. Not only did the images turn out amazing, the whole experience was spectacular. Our photographer Natalia, was so wonderful and patient (with my 3 year old boy running a muck). She captured the most beautiful images and it was exactly what I envisioned our photos would be. After the shoot we met with Rebecca who went through the best photos and explained in detail all our options and showed us what they would look like framed and different sizes, coloured, black and white etc. She was so wonderful and also patient with us. Thank you ladies for an amazing experience. We can’t wait to receive our beautiful family art pieces!"
