Harvey-Rice Photography

My studio is based at Leegomery Community Centre, Leegate Avenue, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 6NA - What Three Words: magazines.overt.contents.

Once parked up, walk towards the woodland area and the Woodland Tearoom. The entrance is through the big red door opposite the woods. 

There is a free car park for the community centre with plenty of spaces, no parking stress here!

I have two studio spaces, one of which is fully accessible with access to disabled toilets. Both studios are on the first floor with a lift available. Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements prior to your session so I can book you in to the correct studio.

I have no set opening hours and work by appointment only so please get in touch to organise your session. 

I accept PayPal, Klarna and card payments via our booking site with deposits required on booking and the balance due 3 days prior to your session. 

Absolutely! I accept Klarna and PayPal Pay in 3 to help you spread the cost and you can pay towards your balance at any point through your booking link. Please get in touch if you would like to pay in instalments for us to arrange.

Deposits are non-refundable, however I will try and work with you to rearrange your session if required.

I understand illness, incidents or other reasons may mean that you need to reschedule a session, particularly where children are concerned! You can rearrange your session giving a minimum of 72 hours notice for up to two months of the original session date without penalty. Missed sessions or rescheduling within 72 hours will incur a £40 reschedule fee at the discretion of Harvey-Rice Photography.​

A considered vision is always appreciated. Drop me a message and we’ll plan with intention, shaping something that feels true to you.

Your gallery will be delivered typically within two weeks of your session however I do advise that it can take up to 14 working days. If you have a particular date you would like the pictures back for, then please get in touch so we can plan accordingly. ​

I will send you a link for you to access your private viewing gallery online which includes all edited photos. You can then choose your photos in the comfort of your home – no awkward viewing sessions! You will be able to purchase additional images if you desire.

No, sorry! The editing process is part of the service and integral to aligning the images with our style.  

Of course! Just get in touch and I will happily edit your booking. 

Please plan to arrive 5 minutes before your session to allow for finding our address, parking and getting yourself ready. Sessions will start and finish as per your booking even if you are late. Sessions CAN'T be extended on the day, so please be mindful of timing.

As a parent myself, I totally get that you may worry about your toddler's willingness to participate in photographs. Remember, toddlers are naturally spontaneous and curious, which often leads to some of the most genuine and heartwarming moments captured on camera. I like to embrace their unique personality and let them be themselves; you'll be pleasantly surprised by beautiful images that emerge from their playful antics. I have a few tricks up my sleeves too! 

When preparing for a studio photography session, it's important to choose outfits that complement your style while ensuring you feel comfortable. Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns, as they tend to photograph better than busy designs. Avoid clothing with logos or heavy graphics, which can be distracting. Some families like to wear outfits that are the same colour, or style, for example jeans and white t-shirts. Ultimately, wear something that makes you feel confident and reflects your personality. 

If you have any questions, please get in touch - I am more than happy to help with your wardrobe choices.

​

Of course. From a family heirloom, to a cherished gift, or something that holds personal significance, these items can tell a story and evoke emotions that enhance your photographs. I can work with you before your session to discuss the best ways to incorporate your item. 

It's a good idea to bring any outfits or props you want to use, as well as personal items that reflect your style.

For newborn sessions, bring anything you need to change and feed your baby, including extra nappies AND EXTRA MILK (if you are bottle feeding or expressing). Being kept awake before the session, followed by a mini workout of posing, can make baby extra hungry so please always bring twice the amount of milk your baby would usually have – just in case!  
If your baby uses a dummy, it’s great to help soothe them and keep them asleep in between poses, so please also bring it.

For Cake Smash sessions, please bring a towel and a change of clothes for your little one. You may want to bring a change of clothes for you as well if you think your bub is likely to cover you in cake too!

​

I take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow time, flexibility and care for every family. I recommend booking after your 20-week scan, at which point we’ll pencil in a provisional date for around a week after your due date. Once your little one arrives earthside, we’ll then confirm the session date together.

Not at all. Ideally our Newborn sessions take place between 5 and 10 days old, however as long as they are no older than 4 weeks we can still get some squishy photographs. This is because babies tend to be sleepier and more easily posed in the first few weeks, resulting in the adorable, curled-up images.

If your baby is older than 4 weeks, get in touch as we can organise a bespoke session for you that captures their emerging self.

These babies really do like to keep us on our toes! Please just reach out when your baby arrives and we will firm up your session. 

We have over 30 themes available and these can be found in our Stock Room. If you have an idea for a theme that you can't see on our website, please send us a message and we can work together to bring your vision to life.  

We recommend booking a Cake Smash a few months in advance. Some people prefer to have the photographs back in time for their little one's big day, whereas others prefer the session on their actual birthday. Totally up to you!

Absolutely, we work with a fantastic local baker who can make your cake vegan, dairy free or gluten free at no additional cost.

Of course! Our studio is a family-friendly setting, so your other children are welcome too. It is important to consider that they may get bored however... so please bring toys (and snacks!) to keep them entertained or consider a family member taking them to the park opposite our studio, 

Remember to check your package if you would like them included in photographs.

Yes and yes. There is a disabled friendly toilet on the same floor as the studio which also has baby changing facilities. Additionally you are welcome to change your child in our studio if you prefer.

We welcome well-behaved dogs, and assistance dogs, to sessions with prior agreement. We will, of course, make sure we have a water bowl available for them. 

Of course! All of our outfits are available to view in the Stock Room section of the website. We are really proud of our wardrobe and want you to feel excited and be able to plan for your session too. Drop us a message if you have any questions,

Absolutely! Please click here to purchase a digital Gift Card. If you would like a physical Gift Card or a custom amount not listed, please send me a message.

While many sessions take place in my studio, I also offer in-home and outdoor photography. If you have a specific event, location or one-off idea in mind, please get in touch to discuss availability. Seasonal outdoor mini sessions are released throughout the year.
If you are a playgroup, nursery or other early-years settings interested in my services, please send me a message to discuss.

I do both and am more than happy to discuss your requirements with you and plan a bespoke package.

Absolutely, I understand every family and individual is different and I love to celebrate these differences. I pride myself on being accessible and will do my utmost to accommodate your requirements. Please send me a message, I am more than happy to discuss what I can do to help the session run smoothly.
