Most problems with a portrait session trace back to a small number of avoidable mistakes, usually made before the session even happens.
Booking on price alone, without checking what’s actually included, is the most common one. Leaving the brief vague and assuming the photographer will simply know what’s wanted is another. So is booking too close to a deadline and leaving no room for a reshoot if something goes wrong on the day.
Every one of these is fixable with a five-minute conversation before booking, which is exactly why that conversation is worth having.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Portraits page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.
FAQs
Two common questions, answered.
Where do portrait sessions happen?
Most sessions run at LemonShark Studio, 769 Fulham Road SW6, five minutes from Parsons Green. On request sessions run on location anywhere in London: an office, a street, a park that means something.
What is a branding session?
A longer session, from £1,000, built for founders and small teams needing more than one look. Multiple setups and locations feed a full image library for a site and social channels.
