Yes, you do need to make a booking. There are a number of ways you can book in with us. You can call the studio on 01202 432234 or 07572 447 643 or email info@studioshotz.co.uk , to make your booking. You will be required to pay a deposit, to make a studio shoot booking.

Once you have made your booking, you will be given a unique access code which will give you access to a secure online album that only you will be able to view. This will allow you to take your time to look through the images, choosing the ones you really want with no pressure, and allowing you to order them online in the comfort of your own home. We do also offer an in-house portrait viewing session, available on request, if you’re struggling with your order.

Try and be comfortable, wear your favourite clothes or clothes that have sentimental value or mean something to you. Bright colours work really well, especially against a white or a black background but remember to make sure that you are comfortable in what you are wearing. You will be asked to take your shoes off for the photo shoot. For family photo shoots, we highly recommend not to ‘match’, which can look quite dated, however to opt for a similar colour palette for example white, bieges, greys & creams or blues & greens. Please avoid busy patterns & brand logos.

You can either wear the clothes you want to wear when you arrive for your photo shoot, or change once you’re here. We recommend that for young children to bring their own toys; you know which ones they love and what will make them smile and laugh. If there is anything else at all, bring it with you! For example musicians – why not bring your instruments, microphone and stand along? If you’re not sure, discuss this with us when booking your photo shoot. We’re more than happy to give advice on what we think would make a great image for you.
