How long should I allow for the session?
We always allow from 1 to 2 hours for your session. It is essential that enough time is available even though the session itself may only last 30 minutes. This gives enough time to discuss your requirements, and get everybody relaxed before turning on the camera!

Do you use digital cameras?
Yes. We use state-of-the-art professional Canon digital cameras and a range of high quality lenses. The image quality is outstanding.

Can I buy only prints?
Yes. We offer two sizes unframed. These are supplied in a presentation folder and are suitable for frames that stand.

How many pictures are taken during the session?
This varies depending on the number of people in the shoot. After editing we will show you the best pictures. Individuals and couples should expect around 30-40 images. Families about 60.

Who has copyright of the images?
The copyright remains with Mark Ashworth.

When do we see the pictures?
The pictures are normally ready about a week later. However if you are coming a long way or have family members that are not local, it may be possible to view the same day. Please ask for more details.

What should I/we wear?
Clothing is really important for good portraits. When you arrange your appointment we will send you a detailed guide.

Do you keep the pictures on file?
Of course. We suggest that your order what you really want at your viewing session as anything ordered later may incur a set up fee.

Do you offer a product that is a bit different?
Yes. We have some really fantastic modern products, from Canvas Wraps, to Acrylic blocks. If you prefer we can frame your images traditionally using a complimentary range of frames. Check out our products gallery.

When and how can I pay for my order?
As your order is bespoke and the pictures printed especially for you, we request that payment is made with your order. We accept payment by most major credit and bank cards.
