FaceTime Portrait Sessions
FaceTime Portrait Sessions
I initially started doing virtual portrait sessions as a way to stay creative during lockdown. It was a really fun way to connect with people and take some beautiful portraits without ever leaving the comfort of my bedroom! I also got to travel all over the country/world and have a nosey at people’s houses, which, judging by the number of interior inspiration accounts I follow on Instagram, is clearly one of my fave things to do!
“But what do I get out of it?” I hear you cry! You get to spend 30 mins in one of your fave outfits, having your photos taken in all of the cool spots of your home, while talking to a disembodied voice and looking at the back of your phone! It’s a surreal experience, but it’s also loads of fun, and the final result is great. Basically, you get a bunch of lovely photos of yourself looking awesome, taken by a professional photographer without ever having to leave your house!
And these photos can be used for anything: a way to celebrate a milestone birthday, some new portraits for your small business, or just to get creative.
I’ve previously worked with brands like Amex, Pets at Home and Natwest, photographing their clients/customers as part of capturing their story.

*If you’d like to use the power of FaceTime for a commercial/corporate shoot, please send me an email via hello@marnivphotography.co.uk for a bespoke quote.
How does it work?
What you’ll need
– A smartphone with some memory left (if your phone is full of pics you never got round to deleting then nows a pretty good time clear some space).
– You’ll need to download Shutter.
– A decent wifi/4g connection.
Thats it!
You can get dressed up or keep it casual, your choice.
What happens during the shoot
Just before the shot, I’ll ask you to email me your Shutter app model ID number so that I can start the shoot. This will allow me to use your phone camera for the duration of the shoot. We’ll have a chat before I start taking photos, and I’ll also get you to give me a tour of your space so that I can find the best light/background. I’ll get you to put your phone in a few different places and direct you throughout the shoot. If you have a tripod for your phone, great! If not, then a tin of soup (or any tinned goods) and an elastic band are a good substitute.
What you’ll receive
2 images that you’ll be able to select and download from an online gallery full of photos of you looking lovely in your home (or wherever you decide to go).
You’ll also have the option to purchase additional image files and prints.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are available, just let me know that’s what you’d like when you get in touch.
