FREE PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS - To help start up my photography business...

58 replies

TurkishDeelite · 14/09/2008 19:28

I had a lovely photography session today with a member of mumsnet and her family. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. They came with lots of props and change of clothes for their daughters and we had great fun, especially doing their pretty princess' photographs!

I am still doing some free sessions in September and October! I am especially keen to do weddings or events but happy to do family/baby photos as well. Even if you have a wedding and a photographer booked I can still do candid photos or act as a second photographer. I like to do more natural photos so you never know what gems you may get!

This is a genuine offer- NO CHARGE involved, all usable photos on a CD will be given to you.

I never thought I would say this but (ahem!) there are limited sessions left in my diary now so let me know if you are interested as soon as possible!!!

Lisad123- already getting a lot of opportunities for family photos in my neighbourhood (hope they will still keep on coming when I finally start charging!) So I am trying to stick to weddings/events to fill the gap in my portfolio, especially if I need to travel, as I am on a tight business budget. You are probably a good 2.5 hours from us so I can't justify the travel from a time and cost perspective... so sorry...

Hi Paws- would love to have you... perhaps at my house or even at the Brintons park with a lush green background? When can you make it??

Hi Masala... I want to come and see you but I am a bit embarrassed as I don't have much to show you in the way of examples! I am desperately looking to get a couple of weddings under my belt but no luck yet!

FAQ
I will start charging after October but will be quite reasonable. I can do you a good deal (my rates will be VERY reasonable), and if you don't like the photographs you don't need to pay! If you would like to discuss further please email me at pinarmullen at btopenworld dot com
Thank you very much for your interest!

Hi LyraSilvertoungue- thank you for your interest, but it's a long way away for my poor little budget and I already have a couple of birthdays (one 80 would you believe it!) organized in my area...

I am really after Weddings now, and happy to travel for the right wedding...

In my local area I am happy to do the lot!

I'm in London, and, I'd like some photos. I know you are after some wedding stuff. I have a strange proposal for you.....

Can I email you?

TinkerBellesMum · 15/09/2008 17:54

I'm in Birmingham CC, would love to arrange something with you if you still have space.

I was hoping you'd be near here or in London as that's where my stepsons live and we need to do something with them, but we want pictures of us and bump anyway.

My wedding won't be for a few years yet, we're having a medieval theme too.

I have a beautiful dd who photographs not well due to her genetic syndrome
I desperately would love a professional picture of her and know that it would do wonders for her self esteem too (she is 6)
I'm east midlands
If this sounds interesting please do let me know
