Won Photoshoot experience - any advice?

Have won a prize in the Photoshoot experience competition / giveaway from the YOURS march 25th issue (only info i have)

The PR Company will contact me within 28 Days

Have looked back at the post and it is with new id

Has anybody had any experience with this company?

Don't want to spoil a good day/prize with a hard sell after the event.

A BIG thank you to Elverman either way :T for the post (I love Elverman's posts, they always seem so quick to enter :D )
Crossing off my Bucket List. Not going to wait for a nod from the Doctor!!

    Hi, I won one of these with Love It magazine a couple about a year ago.
    They said although I 'won' the prize, I still had to give a deposit...but it is refundable. They do this, so on the day you think you might as well spend the deposit you gave earlier on the photo's. The photos look amazing but are very expensive. does it say you get a few free images with the prize?

    ...I wouldnt say they try hard sell...but the photos look soooo goood you wont be able to resist!

    It's a fun day and they are one of the nicest makeover companies ( they use clean brushes etc)

    They will try to sell you very expensive pics- if you negotiate they will bring down the prices/throw more photos in.

    A huge thank you to all who post the comps and deals that make life so much fun!

    well done
    as it's from yours magazine, i expect it's okay
    but all companies like this will still try to sell to you, so just be prepared to say no if you dont want to buy anything!

    i won too (thank you OP),
    ..altho it says you have won a prize in the competition and doesnt state what you have actually won yet.

    having a look at the link of the actual comp its one of the following:
    100 Family Photoshoot Experiences
    50 Fashion Photoshoot Experiences
    25 Deluxe Fashion Photoshoot Experiences
    5 top prizes of Platinum Deluxe Experiences

    And also the studios are at:
    London
    Birmingham
    Manchester
    Cardiff
    Chester
    Newcastle

    so me will cost quite a lot in travel so will have to wait and see for this one
