BOOKING PAGE

 

What’s Included?

One networking meet up a month (two dates to choose from)

Tea, Coffee and something delicious to snack on

10min micro shoot

Three digital files (sent as a coupon code, these roll over if you cant make it one month)

 

How does it all work?

We start with chatting and connecting with the other members over refreshments. Once a month (usually a Thursday but this can change) we hear from a guest expert.

During the meetup you will get around 10mins for photos – you can choose to have headshots, shots with a client or working at your laptop… or shots of you with the group – whatever you want! Remember to bring along props such as your diary or laptop!

After the meet up, all the images will be uploaded to an online gallery and the link will be shared with you via the FB group and on the monthly round up email. It will also appear as a clickable image below…

Once you have clicked into your gallery – make sure you sign in to your member portal (log in details will be emailed to you, so let me know if you don’t have these yet)

To download your images each month, click the wee shopping cart icon on one that you want, this will add it as a single jpeg to your cart, then add your coupon code at the check out. You can use the code for as many credits as you have accrued, but it can only be used for one image at a time – so if you want to download more than one image, you will need to check out each time (for more clarity on this, just message me) I can also amend the coupon to allow you to download multiple images at a time, just let me know.

A pop up message will appear to say that your image is ready for download, click this and it should then appear in your Downloads folder on your computer or device, as a high res jpeg. If this message doesn’t appear, a link will also be emailed to you with your receipt.

If you need the image in a different size, in black & white or edited in any way, let me know and I can do this for you.

If you need more images, you can buy extra jpegs… for even better value you can buy them in bundles – to view these options, click to view shop in the top corner. All the digital bundle options should appear!
