The cheapest quote for a portrait session is rarely the cheapest outcome once everything is accounted for.
A lower price usually means less time on the ground, fewer retouched images, or a slower delivery timeline, any of which can mean paying again later for a reshoot, extra retouching, or a rush fee to hit a deadline the original booking didn’t account for. None of that shows up in the initial quote.
The better question isn’t which quote is lowest, but which one includes everything you’ll actually need, priced honestly from the start.

FAQs
Some quick answers here.
What does the £400 studio session include?
An hour and a half in the studio, up to three outfit changes and five fully retouched images chosen by the client. Extra retouched images can be added after the shoot.
I hate having my photo taken. Will this work?
That is the rule, not the exception. Sessions are directed from start to finish, so nobody stands there wondering what to do with their hands. Most people relax inside ten minutes.
