Session Guide & Headshots Price List

Professional Headshot & Portrait Session

Session Guide For Individual Photoshoots

I design my photoshoots around your requirements, no 2 shoots are the same. I only run 2 headshot sessions per day, in the morning, the afternoon or in the evening, I am totally flexible

This allows you as much time as you need. The sessions are not time-limited and you can relax and take your time. That said, I won’t keep you any longer than needed as I know your time is precious.

Atherton Photo Studio is a private studio. there will be me and you. Occasionally I may have an assistant with me. I would never stop you from bringing one person with you, especially ladies, but the best results are usually obtained when you’re on your own with no distractions. (Under 18’s must have an adult with them.)

The studio is clean and tidy and disinfected between shoots.

Headshot & Portrait Coaching

I will coach you every step.

Because I don’t have 30 min sessions or 60 min sessions, we are not restricted. I will have the time to show you how to get the best images of yourself you have ever had! How to stand and ‘pose’.

Once I know what you’re going to use your headshots or images for, I will perfect the lighting then discuss the composition and expressions with you.

My aim is quality, not quantity, I don’t cram people through the doors or take hundreds of meaningless photos.

Quality over quantity, every time!

You have never had a headshot before

I don't know how to pose for portraits

I hear this all the time so don’t worry. This is what I do, trust me, we will get there.

It should not surprise you that no one is an expert in having a headshot or portrait taken, we will work together.

Getting you a fabulous portrait headshot is just as important to me as it is to you. We will be looking to obtain that stunning image that captures confidence and approachability. It may happen straight away, it may take time, it does not matter, were not clock watching. I want you to look confident and relaxed and in control, which you are. If you don’t like the look of anything, just say so.

We will still have plenty of time to go through all your costume changes.

I will coach you on everything you will need to know from expressions, angles, hair, best costume colour and style.

Bring your sense of humour!

Having fun is serious business and serious business, can be fun!

I love taking headshots, the interaction, the banter so I hope you relax and enjoy the experience.

Checking as we go.

There will be time for a sneaky peak. All the images are transferred to my laptop as we work through. I will show you a couple of the pictures as we go to help your confidence but we will save the best to the end.

The session doesn't finish until you've selected your favourites.

At the end of the photoshoot its time to sit down and have a coffee. We can then view all the images and pick out your favourite shots.

I can help you if you want or I can keep quiet. It is up to you if you want my input.

Once you have picked and paid for all your favourite images they will be sent for professional editing, retouching and cropping. This process will be explained to you on the day.

Your images will be uploaded to my gallery for you to download. You will be able to download high-resolution Jpegs suitable for posters and low-resolution images suitable for social media. That will save you the trouble of re-sizing and cropping the shots after you receive them.

I’m so happy with my photos, thank you! I’d absolutely recommend Steve with no hesitation. I needed professional headshots for work but I’m not that comfortable getting my photo taken or posing. Steve made me feel really at ease and got some gorgeous photos if I do say so myself. Really professional, fun and relaxed atmosphere in the studio. One very happy customer here.

From the moment of contacting Steve Lowrey Photography the process was easy. We discussed what I needed from the photo shoot and how he would be able to help. The email communication before the shoot that had helpful advice and set out what to expect helped immensely. In the studio Steve makes you feel extremely relaxed and is an absolute professional at his job. He knows how to get the best out of you and is a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend him highly enough so if you are looking for a photographer who knows his stuff and will get the shots you need STOP LOOKING AND BOOK STEVE LOWREY.

Booking the session was easy and Steve was really great to work with – he understood exactly what sort of photo i was looking for. He was very patient and offered great advice on what i was looking for for my business photo. Choosing the photos was easy and they came back within a week which i was very impressed with. My family and friends are so impressed with his work they are booking a session to update their photos too. I would highly recommend Steve if you are looking for a quality and professional photo shoot.
