How we can get the BEST Christmas portraits for YOU!

WE’LL DO MOST OF THE WORK FOR YOU…

2x backdrops, setups and props are all included… just add kids!

All you need to do is to make sure any children being photographed are well-rested and dressed in a suitably warm/festive outfit that will work well with the colours of this year’s backdrops.

This doesn’t mean you need to use actual Christmas outfits (although you’re welcome to if you want to) but you’ll want to think warm, cosy colours and textures – reds and tartan outfits work particularly well with our darker backdrops, with lighter tones working well with our lighter setups.

When booking your Xmas mini session we recommend avoiding nap-time. Aside from that, you can leave the rest to us. 🙂

ALL THE JOLLY DETAILS

Two sets included

Once again, we’ll be offering two different backdrops for use this year to give you the best variety for your Christmas portraits.

There’s no extra charge for our second setup. So you can choose either set – or have both if you want to.

We’ll do all the setup before you arrive – so all you need to do is to bring your little one, with a smile, and look forward to some beautiful festive-themed photos, ideal for Christmas gifts…

…or just for yourself!

Online gallery, direct download

There’s no need to return for a viewing after your Christmas mini-session. Your images will be ready to be chosen from an online gallery of around 15-20 images, usually within 7-14 days after your session. So you’ll have plenty of time to order Christmas cards, frames or other gifts – or just to keep them as a memento for yourself!

Your online gallery includes options to download your included free images plus options to order additional images, plus personalised Christmas cards, prints, frames, canvas and a whole host of other products – simple, quick, no fuss.

RESTRICTIONS…

Because this is a mini-session, and we have limited space in our studio (and the size of our props and backgrounds) we do have a few restrictions in order to ensure we provide the best quality images for you .

Single households only
Each Christmas mini-session is designed for a single household only, with a maximum of 4 children and two adults in the studio at any one time.

Kids only, no adult portraits
Our Christmas-themed sets are really only built for children. We’ve found that adding adults to the images simply blocks the set itself, and doesn’t look good… so we are limiting participants to being children only, no adults.

These policies ensure you’ll get the best images and variety during your mini-session.

If you would like a portrait session to include additional family members and/or parents, please contact us to book a longer, standard portrait session.

Set colours for 2025

2 New sets for 2025…
WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

As in previous years, for 2025 we’ll be offering a choice of one darker (low key) backdrop, plus a lighter backdrop – so you can choose one or the other… or a selection of images from both.

This year, we’ve included an outdoor scene, so we’ll be looking forward to seeing what outfits you come in with for this one!

Use the images shown, so help decide which tones and colours to keep in mind when planning on dressing your little ones for this year’s Christmas mini-sessions.

Christmas Mini-session FAQS

Our Christmas mini-sessions are primarily designed for babies who are able to sit up unaided, toddlers and young children.

If you’re unsure if this session is suitable for you, please contact us directly before booking.

Your session fee includes the following;

One 15-20 minute mini-session
3x digital image files
Use of props included
Online gallery with direct download

Every session varies, but we shoot quickly to get the best variety of images we can for you in the time we have together.

After editing a Christmas mini-session, we typically show around 20 images for you to choose from.

Yes, of course.

Our online gallery includes options to purchase Christmas cards, prints, frames, canvas, additional digital images and much more.

Your session fee includes 3x digital images at no extra charge.

Additional digital images are available for purchase as follows;

1x digital file £35
ALL digital files (plus slideshow) £125

Customers who upgrade to a full set of digital images (typically 20 images) will also receive an ultra high-resolution animated slideshow at no extra charge.

Unfortunately, no…

Because our Christmas sets are not huge (about 1.5M high x 2m wide) they really only look their best with just the children on them (adding adults just covers up all the Christmas themed backdrop and tends to spoil the set)… so our Christmas mini-sessions are just for the little ones only…

If you want a ‘family portrait session’ then one of our other session types will be more suitable for you so feel free to get in touch to discuss this in more detail.

If your baby is too young to sit up unaided, then he or she will need to be supported during the session.

This can be either a parent holding baby, or for older babies who are almost sitting up, we have a small ‘bumbo’ seat we can use.

However, it’s important to understand that your session may include less variety than we can offer with older children who can sit up and interact with our sets more easily.

I’m afraid not. We simply don’t have the space to include more than a maximum of 4 children on our small backdrops at any one time.

Additionally, we’ve found that we need to keep the numbers relatively small, in order to maintain some sort of order during the course of these quick-fire portrait sessions!
