Simple you can phone and get the gift presentation pack posted direct to the recipient or posted to yourself to hand deliver, alternatively you can click here to purchase a gift experience online, where the recipient can arrange their date to suit later.
Can I bring a friend to keep me company?
Of course! We understand that it’s often comforting to have a familiar face with you on the day, and if it will make you feel more at ease, we’d encourage you to do so. Of course, you could always make the day a little more interesting by involving them in the shoot as well - why not consider one of our shoots for two and make a day of it?
Do you photograph groups of people or just a maximum of Two?
While we specialise in individual portfolio shoots, we can of course cater for larger groups, this often requires special equipment & planning as well as extra effort for both you & us to organise everyone involved, as such, we offer this as a bespoke service. We’re happy to talk through your requirements to ensure you get exactly what you want out of your time with us, so give us a ring and to tell us what you want 01269 842 248.
Can I bring a scrap book of ideas to the photo shoot?
YES! We' actually encourage you to do so, it gives us a great opportunity to get inside you head and see exactly what you like and what you want to achieve. It's a good idea to bring a few image you don't like so we can see these too! Any specific hair & make up images are great too so you can show our stylist what you want. A great source for this scrapbook are fashion magazines as well as the Internet.
Can I mix and match styles on the day ?
Yes! We love mixing it up!
Groovy musician first then Burlesque Dancer next? Super Model then Super Hero? Glamour girl then Super Villain? You get the idea – we can mix and match as many styles as we can within the time available. Make sure you discuss your fantasy with us beforehand at your initial consultation.
I'm getting married how long before the wedding should I book my bridal boudior?
OK, to keep all your options open we recomend booking a session 9 weeks or more before the wedding, this means that we are able to offer you the full range of our products, some of which take a number of weeks to produce. Don't panic if you are already closer that that we can of course still provide many things on a tighter deadline, just call Lynne and tell how long you have! 01269 842248
Can I change my scheduled session time?
Yes so long as you give us more than
72 hours notice to alter your booking, we allow one free reschedule of an appointment time. In order to ensure we’re fair to all our customers, any further schedule changes may be subject to a cancelation fee. Less than 72 hours notice will result in loosing the scheduled session along with the session fee.
How should I prepare for my shoot?
Obviously we're here to make you look as good as possible, but you can help create a great foundation to work on quite simply:
Don't forget your hands & feet, a good exfoliation and moisturiser for them the day before will get them into good condition, and if you can fit a salon manicure & pedicure into your schedule the day before, do it.
We highly recommend getting a professional eyebrow shape - you won't believe what a difference this can make! (do this at least 24 hours before).
If you're booking a stylist to meet you at the studio, wash and dry your hair the night before but don’t style or put any product in it & wear as little make-up as possible if you can be bare faced, with a base of good moisturiser when you arrive that's perfect.
Stylists:

Should I get a fake tan prior to the photo shoot?
That depends?! If your very fair skinned the answer is probably not, play to your strengths and if you fair go with it – if you turn out orange the day of the shoot – look forward to a lot of black & white images!
If you're a die-hard fake tanner and are used to the look, or you regularly have a salon spray tan, having one done a few days prior is OK, just make sure you ex foliate well before the application.
Where can I go to get these pampering treatments?
If you don't have a regular salon for eyebrow shaping, manicures, pedicures, facials, & spray tans they can be booked in at these local salons:
Gemini Therapy - Cross Hands | Blue Lagoon - Swansea
What should I bring with me?
As we want to show your personality in the resulting images, you should bring clothes that represent your individual style and taste, including a selection of lingerie, jewellery & props. Don't be afraid of bringing too much, we have had ladies who arrive with suitcases and they tell us “weren't sure what to bring so we brought it all!” it's great, better to arrive with too much than too little. In case you don't know where to start here's a guide list to get you thinking, don't fret if you don't have everything on the list & feel free to add & improvised items with your own clothes.
- Fancy Pants! - It's highly recommended that you invest in a new set of matching underwear, unless you have a set you've recently bought.
- Basque;
- elegant blouse;
- a fun hat or hats
- your favorite jeans;
- a few pieces of your own jewellery;
- long boots if you have them;
- high heel shoes ( if you have a pair of pole dancesr heels you've been too afraid to wear out, now's the time to wear them!)

- suspender belt / stockings / tights
