Frequently asked questions
You can order prints in colour or black & white
“Thank you for the beautiful photographs – they are stunning and I am really pleased”
—Head, Lathom School
Even an old shed can create a dramatic picture
“I can't believe the beautiful picture of my daughter was taken in the dirty old outhouse!”
—Samantha Sunderland
How long does a session last?
Photography sessions last anything from an hour to two hours – long enough for Ken to get the results he needs.
What should we wear on the day?
Ken leaves the choice up to parents but he does recommend clothing without strong design or patterns so as not to detract from the face. Above all, the children must feel comfortable and if Ken thinks that something definitely will not work, he can always ask for a change – another advantage of taking pictures in your home.
How long until we see our pictures?
Usually we will be able to show you your pictures within two weeks of your session.
Can we order in colour as well?
All pictures are available in colour and black & white. Ken will help you with your choice if you find it difficult to decide.
Is there an ideal age for photographing babies?
It's nice to capture all the stages of your child's development and Ken has photographed babies as young as three days old.
Is my home suitable for the photo session?
Children tend to be more relaxed and natural in their own home and Ken also believes that the pictures are as much for them when they grow up as for the parents – even the tiniest details in the background of a picture can bring childhood memories flooding back.
Sometimes what parents think of as the most unpromising rooms can create striking and dramatic photographs; they can be dismayed to see Ken taking pictures in disused attics or garden sheds, but are often astounded by the results.
