This would depend on the original image and the details of the crop you require, but will almost certainly incur additional costs.

We look at each request individually, so please provide details of either the gallery number, image and a description of your requirments and we will quote you accordingly.

Please be aware that major cropping can sometimes cause a loss of quality in the image, especially if the customers then requires a print enlargement to be made from that cropped area.

Having said that, we accept that the ‘little-one’ may have other ideas and we will have allowed additional time for feeds, nappy changes or any other little mishaps that may occur.

Newborn baby portraits are best captured within the first two weeks of babys life. This is the period in time where your baby is likely to be sleeping deeply and curling naturally.

We understand that emergencies can happen and they have to be dealt with. We will always work with our customers to find an solution, if we can.

Unfortunately though, if you have to cancel your session on the day then full payment will have to be made simply because we have pre-allocated your studio time in advance.

Our full cancellation policy is available on request.

This would depend on your exact requirements. Our photographers are skilled in most aspects of image editing, but please discuss the details with them beforehand.

While it is fairly simple, with modern sofware packages to remove ‘spots’ and minor ‘skin blemishes’, major edits such as ‘Head swaps’ and ‘skin softening techniques’ must be undertaken with care in order that the end result looks realistic. This obviously can add a fair amount of time to our standard editing procedures and therefore additional costs will apply.

Our standard packages do not include major editing but we will be happy to discuss your ideas and quote you accordingly.

Rest assured we will not release any images unless our team are happy with the standard of quality and realism of any edits.

If you have booked a Newborn photoshoot, we will concentrate on capturing the images we would have discussed at the start of your session or during any consultation.

If time permits, we will be happy to capture a couple of images with siblings or family but our ‘Family photoshoots’ are a seperate product and must be ordered independantly.

We offer a 10% discount off the second session when a Family photoshoot is ordered at the same time as a Newborn session.

Please contact us to discuss your ideas and we will be happy to quote you on any specific requirements that you have.

We ask that the £75 session fee be paid before the start of your photoshoot. 

On the day of your Photoshoot, the balance of any package costs will become payable (minus any fees already paid)

Any additional products must be paid for before we go to print.

We accept Cash, Credit Card or Paypal.
