&

~ Preparing for your grouped One to One Photoshoot

 

Date ~ Thursday 6th February 2025

At ~ The Blue Anchor pub/restaurant in Tadworth - (Dorking Rd, Tadworth KT20 5SL)

At ~ 11am

 

​

What will you receive?

 

  • A 2-3 hour grouped photoshoot session

  • A pre shoot consultation (approx. one week before your photo shoot experience)

  • A location of your choice from a selection of x20 different locations across the year.

  • 10 fully edited high resolution digital files (post production retouching included)

  • An opportunity to view your gallery of beautiful images via jothorpe.com

  • A BONUS Set of images

 

Extra’s

  • At the Blue Anchor, you will receive x1 coffee, latte, cappuccino or tea free of charge

  • You will receive a BONUS set of images from each session.  These images will showcase the ‘active environment’ that we are shooting in as well as images showing pairs of women chatting, sharing a coffee etc. These images will be great for EVERYONE to use for their businesses as useful stock library imagery for content creation and more.  

 

 

What to expect:

We will meet at the Blue Anchor Tadworth at 11am sharp. Official opening time for The Blue Anchor is

12 noon so for the first hour we will be located in the areas that we cannot use once the restaurant is open. At 12 noon we will relocate to one final area of the restaurant where we will remain until we have finished. There are five main areas that I plan to use:

 

  1. The bar area ~ 

  2. The fire place ~

  3. The orange ‘booth’ style sofas ~

  4. Oval table with gorgeous window ~

  5. Brick wall and green leaf wall ~ 

 

 

Your grouped photoshoot session:

The Blue Anchor is a charming countryside pub and restaurant, providing the perfect setting for capturing a wide range of unique and diverse photographs during the photoshoot. The warm tones create a classy, timeless ambiance. My  aim is to make full use of the areas that we have within the restaurant and capture a variety of images; whether you're working or socialising with a coffee on the luxurious sofas, setting up your laptop at a table, or enjoying an elegant cocktail at the bar.

 

What to wear:

Choose an outfit that you love and that you feel GREAT in. Your clothes should encourage you to feel confident and be sure to select items that represent you and who you are as a person and/or as a business woman. Consider the kind of shots that we will be looking to achieve, (see some examples below) and plan your outfit/s accordingly. I would recommend one main outfit with perhaps a second top that you can change into. Feel free to bring a second jacket and pair of shoes if you'd like to switch up your look. 

​

What to bring:

Please feel free to bring along to the photoshoot any props that you would like to include in your photographs. You may wish to bring your laptop, pad, pen or a specific mug or any other prop that you feel is relevant.

~ Top tips on outfit choice ~

 

~ Be aware of how your chosen clothes fit your body. Put your clothes on and then look in the mirror and watch your body as you move, making sure to observe yourself when you sit down. Take a moment to ensure you're happy with your look. The way you feel, along with the camera lens and lighting, will play a big role in shaping the final images but you must also be content with your chosen outfit.

~ Be aware of your bra straps ensuring they are not on show

~ Avoid wearing tops that show a bit too much cleavage (unless this is a specific need for your image of course). 

~ Avoid wearing clothes that are heavily patterned or that show a logo

~ Opt for solid colours instead of patterned as they will highlight your face and will be less distracting

~ Avoid bright colours that absorb all of the attention 

~ Triple check that your chosen outfit is wrinkle and stain FREE

 

Hair/Makeup/Jewellery:

If you’re hiring a professional to perfect your hair and makeup, be sure to schedule a trial run with your artist before the photoshoot. This will give you a chance to make sure you're happy with the look ahead of time. Feel free to wear your favourite jewellery, but aim for a natural, understated style unless your outfit calls for something bolder or more noticeable.

 

Outcomes and timeline:

You WILL enjoy this experience and together we WILL achieve GREAT results. You’ll receive at least 10 stunning photographs that you can use to promote yourself and your business or simply keep as cherished memories. You will receive these images with 7-10 days of your grouped photoshoot experience. 

 

I look forward to photographing you soon
