Small Group Photo Shoots - As Simple as 1, 2, 3! 

No previous experience necessary

Buy your loved one (or yourself!) the gift of a shoot!  Gift certificates can be redeemed against any shoot run by Joe Houghton Photography!  Just click on the button and you can email or print out your certificate - a great last minute present!

The idea is to come out and spend time with an experienced photographer in a relaxed setting where you can ask questions and be shown what to do, then and there, with your camera!   And whatever your camera, compact or SLR, Nikon, Canon, Sony or any other, come along - these shoots are for everyone!  

You go home with lovely shots in your camera, knowing how to get them again in future!  Why not do them up as framed prints or canvases - your own art is great to have hanging on the wall.  For great value prints or canvases, we partner with The Canvas Works who offer great discounts to anyone ordering from one of these shoots.

If you don't have a credit card, no problem - just pay at the shoot!  Please call and book with Joe by phone and confirm that we have places available on the shoot you want to come on.

  • Maximum of 12 participants on any session
  • Free tip cards for everyone!
  • Only €40 per session - why not bring a friend?
  • Not got a credit card?  No problem - drop me an email and we can take a cheque, or call me to pay on the shoot.
  • Come on 4 shoots and you get the 5th one free!
