    By road the portrait studios are a little over 20 miles distant from Prestatyn, Rhyl and Colwyn Bay Llandudno and other towns such as Conwy on the north Wales coast.

    From Rhyl and Prestatyn take the A525.  From Colwyn Bay Conwy and Llandudno, take the A55 eastbound until St Asaph, the northern "Gateway to the Vale of Clwyd".

    Follow the A525 south through Trefnant, by-passing Denbigh.

    The Clwydian range above Ruthin has recently been designated "an area of outstanding beauty" and enjoy magnificent views from the southern "Gateway to the Vale of Clwyd".

    Beauty Portraits

    Beauty portraits, cover shots, Hollywood portraits, million dollar makeovers - call them what you will - Jayne and Chris Birchall's photography and make-up brings out the very best in each and every client.

    Please read this carefully before attending your Makeover Photo Session.
    This information will help you prepare for your photo shoot, and contains helpful advice about hairstyles, clothes and accessories

    Anyone who has experienced a portrait sitting at our studio will know just how much time, effort and skill Jayne and Chris put in to creating the beautiful portraits for which they are renowned.

    Hair Styles

    Before arriving, wash and style your hair just as you would before going on an evening out. This will give us an indication of your usual hairstyle and how you would like to look in your portraits. We will adjust it for the camera, and during the course of the photo session it can be combed, brushed, and otherwise coaxed into any alternative hairstyles you would like to try.
    Clients who are particularly specific about their hairstyle may find it beneficial to visit their usual salon prior to their appointment at the studio.
    We do not cut hair, and our water-based sprays brush out easily - so you can go home looking no different to when you arrived!

    Make-up

    Photographic makeup is much heavier than normal - even for that `natural' look. Please arrive wearing little or no makeup as problems can arise when reapplying fresh cosmetics after removing yours. If you usually shape your eyebrows, please do so a day or two before your appointment. It is well worth considering having this done professionally. The few pounds spent will make a tremendous difference. And if you colour your hair, please make sure it is freshly done, not more than ten days prior to your appointment.

    Beauty Tips

    Most of your shots will be head and shoulders, but as hands can often be featured too, it is preferable that your nails (real or false) are clean and well shaped. If you usually wear nail polish please ensure it is not chipped. A natural polish or French Manicure is best, as strong colours may clash with some of the many fabrics we utilize during the photo shoot. 

    Posing

    And finally: don't worry about not being able to pose. Drawing upon a wealth of experience gained working with professional models, Jayne and Chris will coax and encourage you into exactly the right angles to bring out your most photogenic features.
