What's included

A little fesive, a lot of you

 

Festive photos don't have to mean sitting perfectly and smiling at the camera. These sessions are short, playful and relaxed, with enough time for a few portraits alongside the cuddles, silliness and little in-between moments that actually feel like your family.


Every session includes:


• 20-minute photography session

• 3 professionally edited digital photographs of your choice

• Private online viewing gallery

• Option to purchase additional photographs, professional prints and bespoke designed festive cards

 

 

Capture the whimsy of the festive season with two unique Photoshoot sessions


Two sessions, two festive vibes, three dates

Warm, playful, a little storybook-ish and magical, with a nod to the holidays we grew up with. This year's studio set is a colourful, nostalgic take on the festive season, with deep green velvet, twinkling gold stars, lush greenery, handmade paper chains, a traditional  tree and plenty of festive magic.

A bold, playful take on the usual festive family photos. Think a bright red backdrop, silver tinsel, colourful paper chains and simple styling.


I want these to feel fun, a little retro and slightly editorial, with lots of movement, personality and wild rumpus

FAQ

What should we wear?

There isn't a right or wrong answer, but I've put together styling guidance for each set to help you choose.

For 90s Nostalgia, think cosy, nostalgic and full of texture. Knits, corduroy, denim, cotton, velvet and wool all work beautifully, with cream, warm browns, deep reds, forest green, navy and denim sitting particularly well against the set.

For Red, Red, Red, you can have a little more fun with it. Red, white, cream, silver, denim and darker greens will all work well. Interesting shapes, oversized knits, bows, velvet, party dresses and playful accessories are very welcome.

You don't need to match as a family. Coordinating loosely usually photographs much better, although matching festive pyjamas would be very at home in either set.

Can the whole family be photographed?

Absolutely. These sessions are best suited to families of five or fewer, unless your children are older and comfortable taking direction. If Mum and Dad don't want to be on camera, that's completely fine too, I can photograph just the children.

Please note that these sessions are not suitable for newborns.

Dogs are very welcome at the 90s Nostalgia sessions. Just let me know when you book so I know to expect them. Unfortunately, dogs cannot attend the Red, Red, Red sessions at The Little Gym.

What's the difference between the two sessions?

'90s Nostalgia is the fuller, cosier set. Deep green velvet, gold stars, colourful paper chains, greenery, a Persian rug and a traditional tree. It's warm, nostalgic and a little bit magical.

Red, Red, Red, is its bolder, stripped-back sibling. A red backdrop, silver tinsel, colourful paper chains and simple styling, with more emphasis on movement, personality and playful portraits.

90s Nostalgia takes place in a professional studio in Wandsworth on 7th & 8th November. Red, Red, Red takes place at The Little Gym Wimbledon on 15th November.

How long does the session last?

Each session is 20 minutes.


Please arrive ready to shoot and a few minutes before your allocated time. The sessions run back-to-back, so unfortunately I won't be able to extend your session if you're late.

How many photographs are included?

Your £185 session includes 3 professionally edited digital photographs of your choice.

You'll receive a private online gallery where you can choose your three favourites. You'll also have the option to purchase additional photographs if you'd like.

Can I order prints and festive cards?

Yes! Your private gallery will include a shop where you can order professional-quality prints directly from your photographs.

I'll also be offering designed festive greeting cards, which you can personalise using photographs from your session. Perfect for sending to family and friends, or keeping a few for yourself.

You'll be able to see all the available options and pricing once you receive your gallery.

When will we receive our photographs?

You'll receive your private proof gallery after your session, where you'll choose the photographs you'd like me to edit.

Your final edited photographs will be delivered in plenty of time for the festive season.

How is my booking confirmed?

Choose your session and time through the booking page. Your slot will then be held for 24 hours while you make payment by BACS.

Your booking is only confirmed once payment has been received. If payment isn't received within 24 hours, the slot may be released to another family.
