Questions
What should we wear for a family portrait session?
We recommend coordinating colours and styles that reflect your family's personality. Avoid matching outfits exactly - opt for complementary tones and textures that work well together.
How long does a typical photoshoot last?
Sessions usually take 60-90 minutes depending on the number of people and outfit changes. We allow flexible timing to ensure everyone feels comfortable throughout the shoot.
Do you offer outdoor photography options?
While we specialise in studio work, we can discuss location shoots for specific requirements. Our garden studio provides a semi-outdoor setting with controlled lighting conditions.
What's included in the viewing session?
Your private viewing includes a slideshow presentation of edited images, with guidance on selecting prints and display options that complement your home decor and personal preferences.
Can we bring pets to portrait sessions?
Yes, we welcome pets in family portraits. Our experience with animal subjects ensures safe, stress-free sessions that capture your pet's unique character alongside your family.
What print sizes and formats are available?
We offer wall art from 190, framed prints, montages, and folio boxes. Digital collections start at £595. Custom framing options include modern, classic, and ornate styles.

We had a very pleasurable experience with Hoss. It was my partner and I and my 1yr son and 4yr daughter. Hoss was very professional with the kids and able to take amazing pictures of the kids too. It was a fun and enjoyable experience and would highly recommend him.
