Iris Photography in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
Art that’s as unique as your eye, captured with care, in the heart of the East Midlands
Welcome to Iris Photography by Dawn Hilton Photography – where science and creativity come together to craft something truly breathtaking.
My cosy home studio is tucked away in beautiful Melton Mowbray, East Midlands. I’m proud to welcome clients from all over Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and far beyond! Many even make a day of it with a visit to grab one of our famous pork pies or a generous wedge of award-winning Stilton 🧀🥧
✨ Your iris is unique, just like you.
Using specialist equipment, I capture the incredible details of your eye and transform it into a striking, one-of-a-kind piece of art. Whether you come along on your own, bring a partner, your children, family or a friend, this session is beautifully personal and suitable for all ages (as long as they can follow simple instructions – more on that in the FAQs further down the page).
🐾 Pet Iris Photography
Yes – your furry friends can have their very own iris artwork too!
While the process for pets is slightly different (focusing on the eye and surrounding details like lashes and fur), the result is just as striking and completely personal to your beloved companion.

👥 People & Pet Combined Sessions
Want to book a session for you and your pet? Absolutely!
I offer combined sessions at a discounted rate when you book together. It’s a lovely way to celebrate the bond you share – and you’ll each receive your own iris artwork.
📌 Please note: due to the differences in the editing style and image structure, I’m not able to merge human and animal irises into one image, but they look absolutely beautiful displayed side by side.

The studio is located in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select your preferred date and time from the booking calendar.
In order to secure your Iris Session I require a £25,00 non-refundable booking fee. Please note that no images or products are included in this fee.
At your session, you pay £50.00 for the 1st person, plus £25.00 for every extra person included in the session.
So if you require more than one iris capture, simply add £25.00 per extra iris.
If you require more than one Creative Edit, these can be purchased for £50.00 per extra editing style.
Your £25.00 Booking Fee can be redeemed against any Acrylic wall art products at your session, should you purchase.
Please Note:
Your session fee is only converted into a Wall Art Credit for any single product over £500.00.
The Wall Art Credit does not apply to products less than this value or if you choose the digital downloads only.
You will receive email confirmation of your date & time slot and the studio address.
Attached to the email will be your guide, including prices for any optional wall art or prints.
No prep is needed! Just bring yourself and your eyes!
The process is very quick and painless!
It it simply a matter of placing your head onto the ophthalmic rest, looking into the lens, and keeping your eye open for just a second or two.
The session is for 30 minutes. However, the iris capture itself takes just a few minutes per person.
Of course! Extra Iris can be captured on the day, just let me know how many and their ages, to ensure I can fit them all in.
The cost is £25.00 per iris capture, payable on the day.
If you need to alter your date and/or time, you can do so via your Booking Management Link which you will receive once you have booked in.
Your booking fee is non-refundable for cancellations.
Standard Edits: These are just your iris, on a black background. Simple, understated, elegant. Your eye says it all.
Creative Edits: Perfect to add extra interest to your iris, or for when two or more irises are to be blended into one image.
You can choose from a selection of Creative editing styles at your session.
Absolutely! What’s more, these are FREE OF CHARGE!
Most couples, parents & children, siblings, families, generational families, and even friends will get their iris combined into one single image.
You can select your preferred Creative Editing style on the day.
Absolutely! Often families have more than one edit, for example, Mum & Dad will have an image with just their iris, and have another edit for the whole family, children included.
Extra Creative edits are charged at £50.00 per edit.
Of course! It is perfectly safe for all ages. However, due to the nature of the photography, I need you to sit still, take direction on where to look (and where not to look!), and when not to blink.
Because of this, I set an age limit of around 5 years and over for children’s iris captures.
Yes! I ask that you remove any overly long false eyelashes before your session, if possible, and that any mascara isn’t too thick on the day.
Not an issue at all! For glasses, you can slip them off for the few moments it takes to capture your iris.
For contacts, I ask that you leave them out, or you can remove them once at the studio.
Most conditions of the eyes are perfectly fine to still have iris captures!
I do not use flash for iris capture, so conditions such as epilepsy are fine.
If you prefer to contact me before you book, to check your specific condition, please do so.
Once your iris has been edited, I will upload it to your private gallery.
You simply click download and your images will be delivered via email immediately!
Turnaround for Iris Art is usually 1 to 3 weeks.
Yes! Absolutely! I offer a vast array of wall art, framed pictures, and prints.
Once booked I will send you my price guide to view, and there is also a store on your gallery to view and purchase from, after your session.
Don’t forget you can also use your £25.00 Booking Fee (used as Wall Art Credit) against any product worth £500.00 or more
We will chat at your sessions about the best type of wall art for your iris, and I also offer 0% credit options, which can be discussed with you upon request.
