HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR
Christmas mini-session
Children’s Christmas Portraits in Crawley, West Sussex
Congratulations on booking your
Christmas Mini Session!
We’ll do almost all the work for you, setting everything up before you arrive, so the backdrop, set, props and lighting are all perfectly arranged beforehand.
All you need to do is to make sure any children being photographed are well-rested and dressed in a suitable outfit that will work well with the colours of the set we’ll be photographing them on.
You don’t need to use actual Christmas outfits (although you’re welcome to if you want to).
Keep in mind, socks & shoes are often optional (even the prettiest shoes only show the sole if a toddler is sitting down, so bare feet can often looks better).
If you’re planning on a skirt or dress for little ones, over-the-knee length will make posing much easier when the children are sitting down.
You can see example images of this years sets below. Each set will include accessories to suit the colour tones of the background, so we recommend selecting clothing colours for your children based on the example images.
We’ll aim to shoot a selection of images on both backgrounds if the session is going well and running on time.
For sitters/young toddlers, we keep a limited number of beautiful outfits in the studio you’re welcome to use.
Set colours for 2025
2 New sets for 2025…
WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?
As in previous years, for 2025 we have a choice of two backdrops available – 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.
