You are not alone there are so many people out there who feel exactly the same. All photos are retouched as soon as you come off set and during viewing. More specific changes to the image - such as removing a tattoo or slimming a tummy – can also be done by our in-house professionals if required. SSupermodels and celebrities are regularly retouched in photographs and we provide exactly the same service to give you that perfect look.Will you be cutting my hair?
No, we do not cut or colour hair.Can I bring my boyfriend / girlfriend?

Our team is committed to providing you with a photo shoot which delivers exactly what you want. We welcome double bookings, too, where you and a special friend or partner share the day, experiencing our fantastic make-over and photo shoot together.Can I bring a friend to keep me company?
Yes of course. We have a relaxing reception area with a large projector and plenty of glossy magazines to read to keep them busy, plus they can happily chat to our friendly staff to keep them company.What clothing should I bring in with me?
Your photo shoot is about your individual style and tastes. It will include up to 6 different outfit changes but you don’t have to stop there, we encourage you to bring around 6-10 different outfits or as much as you can bring! J You can always make your final selection once in the studio, and of course we’re here to help.
Examples include: casual, evening, smart dress, sexy lingerie, swim wear, accessories ideally whatever you feel most comfortable in. The more variety of outfits you bring, the more fun we can have creating unique styles and the better your photo shoot will turn out.
Can I bring a scrap book of ideas to the photo shoot?
Yes. It’s a great idea and we love it when clients do. It gives us a great opportunity to talk you through any ideas and styles you may be wishing to emulate. Just show them to your stylist and photographer before beginning the shoot so we can ensure you leave with a set of images that were exactly what you wanted to achieve.Can I wear Fake Tan prior to the photo shoot?
Yes you can, but while some fake tans can look great we recommend against applying any specifically for your photo shoot. Remember, we can retouch away any streaks or blotchy skin but it’s much easier to add a glow to even skin than it is to remove it.I have special requirements - will Pierre Lemond Photography be able to meet these?

Keeping your images on CD is the most popular option for keeping your shots. With the CD, you have lifelong rights to use the images for whatever you want, from screensavers to profile pages - it really is up to you! You can take the CD in to any shop which offers a photo printing service and can purchase as many copies as you please.Is it cheaper to just have the images on CD?
Unfortunately, in photography, the art is in the production of the image itself - the print out of it is simply the end product. It is for this reason that we do not differentiate between CD images and printed images in terms of price.I have ordered retouching and prints, how long will it take for them to arrive?
We aim to deliver all prints and post production orders between 4-6 weeks. From time to time we may experience delays in production, but if this happens we will do our best to keep you informed of the progress of your order.
