Question 1

What makes Duo's portrait service different?

Accepted Answer

We are parent friendly. We come to your home and take family portraits, then return to show them to you. You don’t have to leave home, so there is no packing the kids up in the car etc. It's completely hassle-free! We make it entertaining and fun for both parents and kids.

Question 2

How long do you take on a shoot?

Accepted Answer

It takes us 15-20 min to set up our mobile studio and then we normally allow for around 2 hours to do the shoot itself.

Question 3

What should we wear for our family photographs and what props do you bring?

Accepted Answer

​Wear whatever you are most comfortable in, but it is best to be in un-patterned simple clothing that will not date too easily. The more colour the better, as our background is white. For the kids? Whatever they love the most!

As for props we bring little tricks of the trade, but by far the best are the children's own toys as they are more personal, rather than some stranger’s wicker basket!

Question 4

My family are coming from overseas – How will they choose and view the photos?

Accepted Answer

We often recommend a Skype video during the show and tell evening. That way, we can share the screen with them and discuss options live. Unfortunately, we are unable to put selections online for viewing.

Question 5

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Call, email or book here to make a family portrait booking. We then come to your home and do your personal family photoshoot. After the shoot, we spend time selecting, sorting and editing your images. Once your images have been carefully edited, your photographer will return to your home for your personal viewing. This is a relaxed showing of all the images from your family's shoot on your TV. You are welcome to make an evening of it and invite extended family if you wish! At this time, you will choose three images which we will supply as 5x7 or 6x6 inch complimentary* print enlargements as part of your family portrait shoot experience. You will also have the opportunity to purchase other products from your shoot. We have many exciting packages available and will bring samples of canvases, books, etc. Your photographer will walk you through all the options. Our exciting products are designed for the modern family offering choice and flexibility. But don't worry - there is no "high pressure" selling and no obligation to buy.
