Heather Neilson Photography

Session fee

My session fee is £300 for approximately 1 hour of photography time. Additional hours are charged at £150/hour. The session fee does not include any digital images, albums or luxury fine art prints. I aim to photograph a variety of different combinations of family members as well as a mix of semi-posed images, and modern lifestyle/candid images - all with beautiful light! 

Digital image pricing

A selection of at least 200 digital images from the session will be placed on a private online gallery within a few days of your session from which you can view and choose the images you wish to purchase. There is no obligation to purchase any of the images (and you are welcome to purchase prints instead of digital images if you prefer).

There are the following digital collections available:

Collection 1: A set of 10 edited digital images from your gallery ~ £350

Collection 2: A set of 20 edited digital images from your gallery ~ £475

Collection 3: A set of 50 edited digital images from your gallery ~ £625

Collection 4: A Set of 100 edited digital images from your gallery ~ £950

The images that you select will each be individually edited and beautifully retouched before being provided by digital download directly to your computer (once purchased). The images are yours to print, share and duplicate as you wish for non-commercial purposes. My ethos is that quality is better than quantity and I will therefore only provide beautifully retouched finished images that are ready for printing and framing. For that reason no unedited images (or RAW files) will be available to purchase, or otherwise.

Black & whites

A duplicate black and white set of any digital collection purchased ~ £100 (in addition to the cost of the digital collection).

My black and white images are deep, rich and high-contrast, with a very soft matte tone. Each colour photo is duplicated and then separately hand-edited and adjusted so as to create the perfect black and white according to the particular light and the colour found in that image.

Luxury prints

It can be difficult to find fine art printers that can do professional photographs justice and capture the full richness and detail in their images. For that reason I now offer a selection of beautiful mounted luxury prints on museum-grade fine art papers from leading boutique print company, Folio Albums. Their prints are exquisite and a world away from the prints generally available to consumers rather than professionals. All my prints arrive beautifully packaged and mounted ready to frame and display at home. More information about the quality of these prints is here and my detailed print pricing is set out here.

Fine art albums

My beautiful, elegant albums are also from Folio Albums and include a choice of leather or fabric covers. Like Folio's prints, their albums are printed using the latest pigment inks onto heavyweight and durable fine art paper and will not fade. The albums are handmade and open out flat with an almost invisible crease. Albums are custom-designed and are sized either 8x8" (£550), 10x10" (£700) or 12x12" (£990) and all come with a 15 page spread which can include all of the images in your gallery. You can see more information about my albums here.
