Please note that the session fee does not include any digital files. After the session, you will be invited back to choose your favourite portraits.

YOUR PLANNING CONSULTATION

Planning your journey is for us to understand what kind of special life event we are celebrating. We hear the story you would like to capture and remember. We learn what is unique about your family and the personalities you would love us to capture.

We discuss where you would like to display your wall art, so we can better understand your needs, quote prices, and suggest appropriate display products. We can do a planning consultation via phone or at our Edinburgh photo studio.

We take all this information and plan your photography experience around your individual requirements. Planning also gives us an opportunity to map out how we can get the best out of your family on the day of your studio photo session. 

STEP FOUR


YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION

Your photography session is all about creating a nice and relaxing environment in which your family can create special moments you would love to remember. The studio is very much family orientated and even your fur babies will be welcome. 

The length of the photo session is entirely customisable to give plenty of time to capture beautiful portraits. We find it’s important to give time for kids to get familiar with the space and photographer.

Your session is all about capturing your personalities. Whatever best describes your family, maybe mischievous, quiet, or playful, the focus is on capturing these moments. We are experts at knowing how to bring out the best in you all, and at ensuring that everyone enjoys their studio experience!

STEP FIVE


YOUR ORDERING AND DESIGN CONSULTATION

Around a week after your photography session, you will be invited back to A-Fotografy studio to order your portraits. This is when it all comes together!

We select favourite portraits, display different designs, and even create mock-ups to show how it will look in your home, using photos of spaces you were planning to use.

It is important that all decision-makers attend this session as your order will be placed and paid for.

During the ordering appointment, we work with you to create the best collection of your favourite portraits.

Depending on what is the product choice, families invest anywhere from £400 and up for their artwork.

STEP SIX


COLLECT YOUR ARTWORK

Probably one of the most exciting parts of the process is when you finally see your portrait printed. So many families get really emotional at this part as finally, they can see how their vision has come to the realisation.

You get to hold your portraits and really soak in your family. This is a celebration moment and appreciation of what you have. Enjoy and cherish these memories every day.

As time goes on and your life journey continues, we hope your photographic wall art will always be there to reconnect you with precious memories. Many of our clients return to us as their journeys bring wonderful new occasions to be captured. We hope to be part of more of your life celebrations no matter how small or significant they are – every milestone is special. Keep in touch.
