How do I order photographs online?
Photos from events, weddings etc will be on a partner site, linked from this website under the appropriate section - weddings, portraits etc. You can pay by PayPal or debit/credit card.
Can I buy gift certificates?
Yes. Great for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, or even a wedding gift, a gift certificate can be redeemed as a photoshoot or maybe to buy some extra photo gifts such as canvases or a favourite framed prints for someone who has already had a photoshoot or wedding with me.

Where is your studio?
My studio is part of The Hull Microfirms Centre, Wincolmlee, Hull. Details on finding it are on the contacts page
Do you do airbrushing?
Well, okay, if you insist! Read any magazines and you know that the celeb in the photoshoot doesn't look exactly that perfect in real life. Photoshop is a wonderful thing, but we still want to be able to recognise that it is you! All images will get a small amount of adjustment for colour and brightness. Your private online gallery will show all of the basic, unedited images, plus a selection of my favourites, showing them fully retouched (airbrushed) to give you an idea of what the finished product will look like. All your final chosen images will then be carefully edited, with a small amount of things like removing that spot that just appeared that morning, removing flyaway hair and smoothing your skin so you will look your best ever before presenting your product to you. I will also do a small amount of extra work if you specifically ask for it (remove birthmarks/scars, smooth any lumps and bumps, slightly smaller nose, etc). Of course, if you would prefer absolutely no airbrushing, I can do that too - just let me know
Do I need to pay a deposit to book a photoshoot?
I do take a non-refundable £20 deposit to book a studio photoshoot, and maybe more if you would like to book a hair and makeup artist as part of the package. You can reschedule for free if you give 48 hours' notice or more.
How much is wedding photography?
This is a very typical question that I get asked a lot, and it is a bit like asking about that piece of string! People have very different ideas of what they want photographing on their special day, so wedding coverage can vary from a just an hour or so, up to the whole thing - getting ready, through to the evening partying - so if you need to know how much wedding photography costs, you can drop me a message with the details like, when it is, and how long you want me around for, and where it is. I am based in Kingston Upon Hull, but I do travel. From there I can give you a price and some options on how I will present your photos (digital only, or an album, prints etc). On my wedding page you can find how much it would would cost for some typical packages for local (Hull area) weddings or you can send me a message from my Contact page
Can I have something different to the packages on offer on the website?
Absolutely! The packages are just examples of what I think people might want for their photography - you tell me what you want and we'll arrange a package together that suits you.
Will my images be available for everyone to look at on the internet?
This is entirely up to you. Your photographs would normally be uploaded to a server and password-protected for your privacy, giving you, your friends and family the chance to see them via this website, and even order prints directly if they so wish if you share the password.
If I book a photo shoot, will I get the hard-sell treatment when I want to buy photographs?
Definitely not! If you choose the portrait session you will have access to the online proofs to choose from and you will be left in peace to make your decisions. If you only want your free print that comes with the package, then that's fine!
Do you have any reviews?
Yes! There are some old snippets of reviews on my website here, or you can Google me or look me up on Facebook to see the most up-to-date ones.
