FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The membership lasts 12 months and is on a rolling basis. Once you have had 12 months of shoots you can cancel your membership at any time.
You can obviously cancel your membership at any point, however as this is a 12 month contract and you will still be required to make 12 monthly payments.
Each shoot lasts one hour and 4/5 business owners share the shoot. For instance the last shoot at Leeds Town Hall, I met the first four ladies on the steps of the Town Hall and we did a loop around the area taking photos at different spots along the way.
For the shoot at the co-working space, we moved from room to room, taking photos of each person individually and then on to the next room
It allows you to get a real variety of photos and have time to interact with the other members.
You will be able to book all 12 of your shoots as soon as you join. I use an online booking system to ensure you can book all of them straightaway (so you have some control over your own schedule) or up to 48 hours before the shoot.

The locations are announced on the Facebook page 1 month before the shoot (if not sooner), with full details of location, parking and anything else you need to know.
You don’t have to bring anything other than yourself, but if you want to bring props along that’s fine too.
Some of the shoot days will be themed, for instance we used an office set up for one shoot, and everyone brought along their own laptops, notebooks etc. For another shoot we used a luxury house that saw people bringing along food to have photos taken in the kitchen.
The Visibility school shoots only take place on two days a month, so I cannot change to a different day.
However if you need to change your shoot time or to the other day, let me know as soon as possible.
During the summer months we do lots of shoots outside to take advantage of the weather. Unless the weather is really terrible the shoot will go ahead (so sometimes advisable to bring a brolly) but if there is heavy snow, strong winds or torrential rain we may have to change the day. But I will give you notice of the new date, and if you cannot attend you’ll be able to take 5 images from a previous or future shoot.
Due to the nature of the shoots, as mentioned previously it isn’t possible to do the shoots on a different day.
You would be given the option of taking 5 images from a previous or future shoot. Missed shoot’s are not rolled over unless I cancel the shoot (or we can’t do it because of something like Covid).
You can expect to get a choice of 5 photos from a gallery of at least 25 images. However often we’ll get many more than that. And if you want to purchase the whole gallery it starts at just £35.
Yes you can buy images on an individual basis at £10 per photo and the whole gallery is just £35 (retouching is charged extra per photo if required on the whole gallery)
There is no set time, but usually within a week of the shoot (and more often within a couple of days) you will receive access to your gallery.
You get your own gallery which is added to as the year goes on. If you’re looking for more images, they are available throughout the year and can be purchased directly through the gallery.
If you need an image editing quickly after the shoot, just drop me a line.
This is a tough one! I’m probably not the best person to tell you what to wear from a style perspective, but I will share what doesn’t work. And you can ask in the private Facebook group if you need any help (at present we have a personal stylist in the group!!).
I’m pretty flexible with the shoots, and leave 15 minutes between each shoot in case we need more time. Usually I suggest you just let me know you’re running late and I’ll let you know where we are if we’ve already set off.
