NB - I would also encourage everyone if there is an activity that perhaps does not interest you , we have a studio for you to use and do your own still life or portraits, if you want to do this just ensure that your space is booked , I don’t want everyone turning up with 10 still life set ups
This is YOUR sessions , we are here to help YOU ,
