What happens on the day

01.

Meet your creative team

Your photographer, makeup artist, and stylist will greet you and discuss your shoot plan. This will give you the opportunity to decide what you would like included in your photo shoot and discuss any specific looks you may want to try.

02.

Hair and makeup

You’ll experience up to four distinct looks during your shoot. We begin with a natural makeup look, then gradually evolve your styling as the session progresses. Our specialised makeup artists will tailor each look to your outfit choices, capturing a diverse range of styles for you to choose from.

All makeup & hairstyles are carefully designed to be age appropriate. We provide high grade makeup and hair equipment, so there’s no need to bring anything. Everything is taken care of for your transformation.

Studio and on location shots

Our photographers will capture a wide range of looks and poses, both in our professional onset studio and outdoor locations around the studio for more natural shots.

Our experienced team will guide you through poses that work best for your shoot, while capturing a diverse selection of images for you to choose from. Whether you’re confident in front of the camera or stepping into a photo shoot for the first time, we tailor the experience to your needs, helping you achieve the strongest results.

After your shoot

At the end of your experience, our Image Consultant will guide you in selecting the strongest images to create your very first professional modelling portfolio. Professional portfolio packages start from £499 and include a minimum of 10 professionally presented images, carefully chosen with expert guidance to ensure you present yourself at the highest possible standard. This also includes 12 months of our support service.

Portfolio packages are only available on the day, so we recommend coming prepared. Images are supplied as part of a professional package and are not sold individually. Additional package options and presentation formats may also be available depending on the option selected.
