FAQs

Q: Where are you based?

A: I am based in Blackpool. I cover the Fylde Coast and Lancashire.

Q: Where are the sessions held?

A: I offer a mobile photography service, therefore I can visit you at home to capture your images. However, if you have limited space, I can arrange an alternative venue.

Q: Do you provide outfits for clothing changes?

A: No. You will need to bring any clothing changes you require to the session. I normally suggest just a couple of changes due to timescales involved. TIP: Single colour clothing (light or dark) work well for black & white images.

Q: How many images are taken at each session?

A:I have no restriction on the number of images I take during a session, this is determined by the duration of your chosen package deal as I find this gives you a wider choice when placing your order.

Q: Can I buy additional prints even if I choose a package deal?

A: Yes. All of your images will be available for you to order, and can be printed in any of the sizes within the range detailed in the 'Image Prices' section. I can also provide additional prints at a later date, if you want them as gifts for family or friends.

Q: Can you provide a session for capturing product images?

A: Yes. I can provide product shots to assist in advertising your items, whether these are for use on E-Bay, leaflets or for display books to help promote your own business. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Q: What is your availability?

A: I generally conduct sessions at evenings and weekends depending upon your requirements. I have found that sessions involving young children are best suited to mornings in order to maximise their attention span and obtain the best results.

Q: I am 17 years old, can I attend a session alone?

A: No. Please be aware that I have a strict policy that any session involving a child or young person under the age of 18 years, must be accompanied by an adult.

Q: When will my images be ready?

A: Following your session, I will either provide you with an index sheet of thumbnail images or I will e-mail you a watermarked version of the images complete with an order form, for you to make your selections. I aim to have your images with you within 14 days.

Q: When and how do I pay for my images?

A: I require a £30 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance will be due on the day of your session. I accept all major credit and debit cards (via chip and pin), cash or cheque. Any additional prints must be fully paid for when your order is placed. Any payments by cheque should be made payable to James Stewart Photography.

Q: Can I leave my pets with you for their session?

A: No. Pets must be supervised at all times. This ensures the safety of everyone involved. I have found that pets respond better to the camera when in familiar surroundings and with their owner on hand.

Q: Do you take ‘Glamour’ shots?

A: Contrary to popular belief, ‘glamour’ shots do not necessarily mean ‘without clothing’. I do NOT take topless or nude images, but can produce tasteful sensual shots if required.

Q: Can I book you for my wedding photography?

A: Unfortunately, I do not provide a wedding photography service. However, if you are lucky enough to still get into your wedding outfits and wish to update your wedding photo, you are more than welcome to book a package deal, and wear your wedding outfits for the session.

Q: Who owns the copyright of the images?

A: All images will remain the property of James Stewart Photography. Selected images may be used for marketing purposes only.
