01 / Your session
Relaxed, fun and stress free
A family session lasts around an hour and suits up to six people. We capture a mix of whole family groups, siblings, parents together and individual portraits.
There’s plenty of time for laughter and natural interaction. Many families tell us how much fun they had, even those who arrived nervous about being photographed. Children sometimes need a little warm-up time, and that’s all part of the service.
- A child-friendly studio, where we take time to put everyone at ease
- Over 17 years’ experience with every age, from tiny toddlers to grandparents
- Pets and personal items are very welcome

Your questions
What if my children don’t cooperate?
We’re very experienced with children of all ages and personalities, including shy and energetic ones. Sessions are flexible, fun and relaxed, and we work at their pace.
Can we include grandparents or extended family?
Yes. Sessions suit up to six people, and larger groups can be accommodated, so just ask when booking.
What should we wear?
Neutral colours work beautifully. Avoid large logos and busy patterns. Coordinating outfits (without being identical) keep the focus on your family.
Can we bring pets or props?
Of course. Pets are very welcome, and personal items such as toys, books or family heirlooms make your portraits even more special.
When are sessions available?
Thursday to Saturday. Most family sessions are on a Saturday so school-age children can come along.
