Calling all Manchester Rugby Club families! 🏉
​I am so excited to be back at the club for our Fearless Faces portrait sessions! These aren’t your typical "sit still and smile" photos—I’m here to capture the grit, the determination, and the heart of the game.
​Muddy pictures make GREAT pictures! 🌧️
Whether they’ve just come off a tough match or a rainy training session, those muddy knees and "match-face" expressions make for the most authentic, timeless memories. We have pre-match slots for a clean look, but the post-match muddy slots are where the real magic happens!
​🎁 The Perfect Gift:
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, these portraits make a truly unique and meaningful present. Grandparents also love these snapshots of their favorite players in action!
​📅 Dates: 22nd February & 8th March
📍 Location: Manchester Rugby Club
💰 Special Price: £20 (includes the shoot and one high-res digital image)
​Slots are 5 minutes and strictly by appointment only. They fill up fast, so don’t miss out!
