Portraits at our studio or at your home — professional headshots, and the portraits of older relatives that families keep meaning to arrange.
The portrait that does not exist yet
Most families here have no proper photograph of their oldest member.
There are wedding photographs from fifty years ago and phone pictures from last week, and almost nothing considered in between.
It is the request we get most often after a bereavement and the one that is easiest to satisfy beforehand. A single sitting, twenty minutes, someone photographed properly and looking like themselves — and it becomes the photograph the family uses for the rest of its life.
Older subjects need the session brought to them more often than not. Home is easier, warmer and far less intimidating than a studio, and the results are better for it because nobody is braced.
The same session covers the ordinary professional work too — headshots, profile photographs, anything with a specific job to do. The brief is different but the process is the same, and it is worth saying which you want before we start.

The portrait that does not exist yet is almost always of the oldest person in the house. It is the most requested photograph after a bereavement and the easiest to arrange beforehand.
Home suits older subjects far better than a studio. Warmer, less intimidating, and the results look more like them because nobody is braced.
The same session covers professional work perfectly well. The brief differs; the process does not.
Getting ready
For a relative who has never done this
Keep it short and keep it near them. Older subjects do far better at home than in a studio, and the results are better because nobody is braced.
Have them wear something they would normally wear rather than something formal bought for the occasion. The photograph should look like them.
Choose the room with the best daylight and clear a small area. That is genuinely the whole preparation.
Planning it
What we ask first
Who the portrait is of and whether they have been photographed properly before. Most have not, and it changes how the session is run.
Whether it is at home or the studio, since for older subjects home is almost always the better answer.
And what it is for — a wall, a record, or something practical. Each leads somewhere slightly different.

Can you photograph an elderly relative at home?
Yes, and it is usually the better option. Home is warmer and less intimidating than a studio, and people look more like themselves in it.
How long does a portrait session take?
Short. The photography is quick; the useful part is a few minutes at the start working out what the photograph should say.
What should they wear?
Something they would normally wear and feel comfortable in. Solid colours sit better than busy patterns.
Do you do professional headshots as well?
Yes — profile photographs, company pages, anything with a specific use. Tell us what it is for and we will shoot for that.
How long does it take?
Short. The photography is quick; the useful part is deciding what the portrait should say.
Can we photograph several relatives in one visit?
Yes, and it is efficient. Tell us how many and allow a little more time.
Can the photographs be printed large?
Yes. Tell us that is the plan and we will shoot for it.
Do you retouch portraits?
Lightly by default. Tell us your preference.
How soon do we receive them?
Quickly for a portrait session. Tell us if there is a deadline.
Do you photograph headshots for work as well?
Yes. Tell us what the photograph is for and we will shoot for that.
Can you photograph a portrait for a memorial?
Yes, and it is a common and important request. Tell us what you need and we will handle it carefully.
Do you photograph groups of relatives?
Yes, and it is efficient to do individuals and a group in one visit.
Can we have prints made?
Tell us at booking and we will confirm what is available.
We want one of each grandparent on their own.
Worth asking for specifically. Individual portraits of the older generation are used far more than group frames and are the ones families wish they had.
Can this happen at the family house?
Yes, and it is usually more comfortable for an older subject than travelling to a studio.
They are not comfortable being photographed.
Very common. A short session, somewhere familiar, with no expectation of a smile works better than persuasion.
Who has never been photographed properly?
It is usually the person everyone assumes there is a photograph of. Twenty minutes fixes it.
