Not happy with your portrait session images? What actually happens.

The proofing gallery is a genuine review stage, not a formality. Feedback at that point shapes what gets retouched, and any real concerns are worked through before final delivery.

This comes up often enough with portrait session bookings that it’s worth answering properly rather than in a single line on a FAQ list. Every portrait session booking (from £400 for a studio session, or from £1,000 for a branding session) covers the full process end to end, so there’s no separate charge for the kind of ordinary back-and-forth this question usually leads to.

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.
