So, I’m sitting here thinking, – what can I do to make my lovely customers even happier? Then this brilliant idea occurred to me. I’ll UPGRADE THEIR CANVAS! Just for you. So I’ve negotiated a deal with my canvas supplier to help me give everyone who buys the Platinum Package a great big 30 x 30* inch canvas – but I’ve had to agree a quantity, and when that quantity is used, it’s back to normal.
So BOOK NOW to get this unrepeatable, once in a studio visit offer!
Children of a certain age can suddenly lose the power to grin without looking like some weird gargoyle off a church! (In fact some parents do too!) The tip to getting a genuine grin is to give them something they really giggle at.
Here are some things you can do:-
Be prepared to giggle yourself – and if needs be to wholly act the idiot.
Remember what TV programs really make them smile.
It’s surprising how frequently Daddy doing something unfortunate works!
If they are old enough, do they tell jokes? Do they laugh at jokes?
For young children, if they have a favorite toy the photographer can use it that in all sorts of ways to make them look and giggle.
If they like a special song or rhyme, then either bring it on your smartphone or be ready to sing it with them
Make a checklist of funny things and send it to us before the experience, that way we can be armed and prepared.
We like to keep things fun and simple with youngsters. We understand they trade moods from moment to moment. We will treat them with respect and generally mess around with them to help everyone get the final photograph.

Introducing the beautiful Arlow the Collie, he’s just a big puppy, with a lively personality. He bounced into the studio this afternoon with his master and his ‘Granny!’ Here’s a sample from his photoshoot…
…baby Zach got into the car with his mummy and daddy, and they drove all the way to Dundonald – where Zach fell asleep. When he woke up he was out of the car and in a photography studio, and guess who was standing next to him? Here’s a clue…
Zach was so excited and he smiled and waved his arms around for the nice photographer. And they all lived happily ever after!
Brrrrrrrrr… It’s freezing outside, but in our Dundonald studio, it’s a WINTER WONDERLAND!
10 month-old Autumn came into the studio today with her mummy and daddy to meet Santa and pose for her special ‘Winter Wonderland’ Photoshoot, and what a great model she was.
She was so good that Santa gave her a special cuddly toy for Christmas! Book YOUR special themed Photoshoot today. See
Not all children can sit still and pose. Here at Portraits2Go.co.uk we don’t think that is a problem. In fact most of the time we prefer the images of the little tear-aways playing and having fun.
Those candid moments when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves are often the ones that really capture their personality.
So, don’t worry if you think your child won’t have the patience, we do! We’ll take the time to set them up to enjoy themselves. You will have pictures of your children as they are and as you will remember them.

Someone recently asked me, “Why are your prints so much more expensive than Tesco?” After the choking and spluttering had subsided I gave my standard answer…
“You only get what you pay for!”
After all, I had once heard a woman telling her friend that you could get a canvas for £10 on eBay. I couldn’t help butting in, with the comment, “Great value, it’ll match the rest of your furniture that you bought on eBay!” (I knew that the house in question was very comfortably furnished and that they would never have dreamed of buying their furniture in anywhere but the best shops) Continue reading You Get What You Pay For!→
Glen and Abigail, their two beautiful twin girls and ‘bump’ visited the studio on Monday afternoon for a family photoshoot. I seriously couldn’t resist sharing some preview images of this lovely family…
