Black and white family portraits
Every look, without colour. Black and white takes away the clothes and the backdrop and leaves the faces and the gestures. Every edited photo is delivered in both colour and black and white.
Most families in these photographs are wearing their own clothes. The studio wardrobe holds gowns and dresses for mothers only, so if you see a gown you love, send us a screenshot on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether it is ours.
Why families choose black and white
It removes the dating. Clothes, colours and backdrops date; a black and white family portrait does not. It is the version many families choose for the wall.
Gesture becomes the picture. Without colour, the eye goes to who is holding whom, a laugh, a hand on a shoulder. The frames that work best in black and white are the ones with the strongest moment in them.
All black, all white. Families dressed in black, white, or both convert most cleanly, which is why the minimalist and dark looks appear here so often.
Both versions, always. You do not have to choose at booking. Every edited photo comes in colour and in black and white.
Will we get black and white versions?
Yes. Every edited photo is delivered in both colour and black and white.
What should we wear?
Pick one palette, not one colour: neutrals with one accent, or tones of the same family. Solid colours photograph better than prints, and logos are best left at home. During onboarding we look at what everyone has and suggest combinations.
How long does a session take?
One dress, meaning one outfit for the family against one backdrop, takes about 35 to 45 minutes. Two dresses take about two hours and three take about three, including outfit changes and breaks for the children.
