When You Arrive at the Studio

⏰
Punctuality
I recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment. This gives you time to relax, settle in and soak up the festive atmosphere before we start shooting.
πŸ‘Ÿ
Footwear
To keep the studio clean and safe please remove your shoes at the entrance. If you would like to be photographed wearing shoes simply bring a clean pair with you to change into.
πŸ‘—
Outfits
Bring one outfit per theme, for everyone in the session. Plain and simple, without prints or logos works best. Bring clothes on hangers and change at the studio to keep them wrinkle free.

For the Elegance theme go for classic warm tones: white, cream, red, burgundy, blue, gold, brown and green. Elegant dresses, tailored suits and crisp shirts work beautifully.

For the Winter theme go for cosy festive colours: red, burgundy, green, white and brown. Outdoor coats and cosy jumpers are welcome and add to the magic on this set.

Payment
The remaining balance is payable on the day of your session in cash or by bank transfer.
