Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you require deposits?

To confirm your booking and secure your preferred date, a non-refundable retainer fee of £100 is required. This advance payment facilitates the initial planning stages of your unforgettable experience, including reserving outfits tailored to your sizes and securing tickets, if applicable, for Midhope Castle. Additionally, it covers administrative expenses incurred in arranging your personalized session. The remaining balance of your fee is due either on the day of the shoot or within one day thereafter. We accept payments via bank transfer or PayPal for your convenience. In the event that we must cancel your shoot due to circumstances beyond our control, such as inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, we will provide options for rescheduling to an alternative date or selecting a different package. Alternatively, we will refund any unused portion of your retainer fee promptly. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our utmost priorities, and we are committed to ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for you.

• Will there be time for lunch?

Following your "Sassenach" or "Dragonfly in Amber" experience, you have the option to indulge in refreshments at a nearby café in Falkland, offering a selection of food and snacks. Additionally, during the "Through the Stones" and “Take Me Home To Lallybroch” adventures, there will be opportunities for breaks. However, we recommend bringing your own snacks and water to ensure you remain comfortable throughout your photography session.

• Do the shoots require long walks?

• Please be advised that some of the paths used during our photography sessions may be muddy, uneven, or slippery, depending on weather and ground conditions. By participating in the session, you acknowledge and accept that you are proceeding at your own risk. We are not responsible for any injuries, falls, or accidents that may occur.

• The "Through the Stones" experience encompasses quite a bit of walking, approximately 40 minutes each way within the glen, with an additional 10-minute stroll from the parking lot to the stones. Some people might find parts of the walk more challenging and we recommend bringing your own comfortable footwear to wear to and from the shooting locations.

• Our other packages entail minimal walking beyond the duration of the actual photoshoot, but you should still consider the ground conditions in some spots if there has been heavy rain in recent days prior to shooting.

• What if it rains?

Believe it or not, a few of the stunning shots you've seen were captured amidst gentle rain showers. While I'm more than happy to proceed with the photoshoot in light rain, your comfort and safety are my top priorities. My capable assistant, Anya, will be equipped with umbrellas to ensure we can still capture beautiful moments. However, if weather conditions escalate to stormy winds, l strongly advise postponing the shoot.

• Do you provide hair & makeup for the shoot?

We provide your complete outfit and accessories on the day of your shoot, but if you would like the full transformation into 1940s or 1740s Claire we suggest that you consider contacting the below professionals that we have worked with personally. We ask that you schedule your appointments for hair & makeup early in the day, with plenty of time to travel for your photoshoot.
