Capturing spontaneity through creative photography

Local business FX Photography believes the best way to capture a portrait of a family through photography is to spend all day with them.

‘A Day in Your Life’ is a new photographic package from FX Photography documenting your life style presented in a beautifully designed contemporary album, similar to a story book.  Imagine owning a hardback book which catalogues a whole day in your life; from the early hours of the morning, through to the kids’ bedtime – ‘A day in your life’ does just that. FX Photography will spend the whole day with your family capturing spontaneous moments that you will be able to cherish for a lifetime. FX Photography will arrange a free meeting to discuss your preferred day and location. It might be a visit to the zoo, fun park or beach; whatever your choice, FX Photography will ensure that there is a planned approach giving a beginning, middle and end to the day so that the resulting book has substance, through creative photography. All the images from the day will be presented to you on a CD slide show and you can choose the photographs which will make up the ‘Day in Your Life’ album. Once the images are selected FX Photography will design your book and show you proofs; only when you are completely satisfied with the designed pages will your book be printed.
