Book a doorstep portrait this Autumn for Christmas Gifts

Following the popularity of my Howfen doorstep portrait series during the Spring, I’m offering a limited number of Autumn doorstep portrait mini-shoots here in Bolton. These are specially discounted for 2020, as I think we all could do with a little bit of festive cheer at the moment.

What’s included?

15 minute shoot with a professional award-winning photographer (that’s me!) on your doorstep / in front of your home (dress up, dress down, dress Christmassy, bring props, fairy lights, decs or just be yourself with no Christmas bells and baubles at all!)
A private online gallery to view and select images from your session (this will include a small number of images from your shoot in my house style, please note these are watermarked)
Five hi-resolution digital images to download and use as you wish, with an accompanying print license
Five 7 x 5” greeting cards on satin with UV Gloss Coating (using your selected five images), left plain for you to write your own Christmas or New Year message
Option to buy additional prints / cards / Christmas-related gifts from your private gallery (a price list of these can be provided at point of booking e.g. jigsaws, photo baubles, framed photographs etc)
Gift voucher to put towards a 2021 family documentary session with me (which you can use or pass onto someone else!)

When are the shoots / how they will work?

All shoots need to be booked in advance and will take place from 30 October - 15 November, with all photographs and gifts delivered by 15 December.

As with my spring lockdown doorstep portraits, I’ll arrange a time with you for the shoot and the photographs will be taken using long lenses - this means there’s no contact, we’ll be more than two metres apart. I’m not inside your home or in your garden.

Please note that at the moment, and in direct consultation with Bolton Council, your session can include a maximum 6 human beings but they must be from the same household/bubble (I’m excluded from the group of 6 because I’m working, so there will be seven of us in total). Feel free to involve pets!

All families are welcome - whatever ‘family’ means to you. And as a step-mum to a little autistic boy, I’m an ASD-friendly photographer too.

how much do they cost?

£99, payable in advance to guarantee your booking.

Ts and Cs apply at point of booking. Note that no other promotional offers can be applied to this fee as these sessions are already heavily discounted.

Please note this price includes my travel to BL5 and BL6 postcodes only. A small additional charge will apply for shoots booked beyond these postal sectors.

Limited availability, first come first served. Please note my mini-shoots usually book up fast - when they’re gone they’re gone!

Why should i book A DOORSTEP SESSION?

Get to work with an award-winning creative professional photographer (I’ve previously exhibited at the Science Museum, London and most recently I’ve had my work featured in Vogue Italia)
There’s no need to go anywhere for a shoot experience, you can keep safe at home
Covid-19 safe approach, all photographs are taken from the road/path in front of your door
Have fun and capture a truly unique (ahem!) year
Record memories to share with those who you’ve been separated from
Access gifts and prints that you can’t get elsewhere through my professional suppliers
Support a local independent business. Many professional artists and creatives living here in Bolton like me usually work in events and weddings and we’ve seen our industry fall off a cliff.
