Northamptonshire Family Photography

by Karl Drage

The more weddings I photograph, the more I am asked to take family photographs for people afterwards. Sometimes that means parents looking for pictures of just their children or alternatively, they may be wanting to feature in the images, too, possibly with grandparents and even pets!

How I Work

I do have a small studio at my home in Woodford, Northants (NN14 4HY), which may or may not be suitable for whatever you have planned for your family photo shoot!

I love to get family groups outside, playing and having fun, interacting with one another – doing REAL family things. That, therefore, would always be my preferred approach for a family photo shoot. We’re blessed in Northamptonshire to have access to a fantastic range of country parks and open expanses that are just perfect locations for pictures.

The below assumes the family photo-shoot will take place at a venue of your choosing within 30 miles on NN14 4HY. I am willing to travel beyond that, but I may ask you to make a contribution towards my costs. I do have a small home studio, but it is very space restricted. My preference, therefore, is to conduct family photoshoots outdoors.

Family Photography Package PRICES

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY BASIC PACKAGE – £200

I require a non-refundable (the only exception to that is if we have to cancel the original date due to adverse weather conditions and we are unable to find another date that works for both parties within one calendar month of the original date) booking fee of £200 to secure a slot in my diary .

After the photo shoot, I will process the images and make watermarked low-resolution copies available for you to view on a password-protected web gallery. The deal then is really simple: You choose how many of the images you would like printing and pay the difference (if indeed there is one). I then get your prints printed and make your digital files available for download. The digital files are supplied with a licence allowing you to print them yourself and share them with family and friends! I retain the copyright over the images, though, so you cannot sell them to a third party.

Family photo shoots should be fun, IMHO! – By Northants Family Photographer Karl Drage

This package includes:
  • A 1-hour location photo shoot
  • 5x prints of your choice at up to 18″x12″;
  • Fully-edited, high-resolution digital image files of the images you select for printing in both colour and black & white provided on a password-protected download link, which are licensed to you (I retain the copyright, so you cannot sell them to a third party), allowing you to send them to friends and family or print them however you wish;
  • 30 miles of travel in each direction from NN14 4HY;
  • An album on my Facebook business page featuring up to 5 low-resolution images from our shoot;

Additional prints at up to 18″x12″, plus their associated high-resolution digital files (supplied in both colour and black & white), can be provided at an additional cost of £12.50 per image.

If you spend an extra £200 on additional images, I’ll throw in all of the edited high-resolution digital images from the session. This often amounts to around 50 shots!

Additionally, you will receive a £50 credit towards a future booking with me! You will also qualify for a 25% discount on my new range of stunning heirloom print products.

(*NB this only applies to clients spending the full £400)

    Hello

    I am looking at purchasing a family photo shoot for a relative who’s just had her first child, we are a large family of nearly 40+ with many children between ages 0 and 18, ideally we would like to have a full group shot and a few individual pictures with various family members with the baby, preferably in Abington Park Northampton if possible.

    Could you let me know if possible what weekend dates you have free for September and October

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Regards James
