Pricing.

Quality photography should be more than just a collection of photographs, The whole experience should (if done correctly) be easy, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. Images should convey emotion and connection. Many clients now want more than just posed images. Photographs of your family doing the things they love to do are becoming ever more popular and we love this. These images tell your story making everyone smile and are simply something that your whole family will enjoy for generations to come. Everything from walking the dog to running on the beach or even playing in the garden. images that remind you of days past. 

When it comes to paying for your portrait session and images, we believe in complete transparency.

We have always taken enormous pride in our work, producing beautiful imagery and delivering it using the finest materials to the highest standards. We look after you every step of the way, ensuring a peerless experience for each client. From pre-shoot advice to taking beautiful photographs and helping you decide how best to display your images, you’ll enjoy a truly bespoke and friendly service. 

To help you we have set out a comprehensive price list below, so you can at least make an informed choice of how you would like your portraits to be displayed.

There are a number of options open to you. A good starting point before you make a decision is to think carefully about where you would like your portraits to live. I personally love to see framed black and white family photographs on display around a home, but everyone is different and there is no right or wrong.

If you would like to see examples you are very welcome to book a consultation session where we can talk, go over the options and show you the products.                            

It is important to us that we provide you with all the information we can. We are fast approaching our 30th year selling high-quality imagery,  and whilst we acknowledge we are not the cheapest photographer in the highlands we do however believe we offer great value, excellent professional service and high-quality legacy products. 

We are very proud and delighted to have a high return rate from our clients, with many returning frequently to add to their story. There are no hidden costs, all our pricing includes VAT @ the current rate and is valid for three months from the date of your photoshoot. We offer A 10% discount on any published price if you purchase your images at your viewing session, this increases to 15% on any orders over 2k.

Loyalty rewards

We hate It when companies offer discounts to new clients only.  When existing clients (who often become friends) place their trust in us for a second or even a third time.
