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 within 7-10 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.

MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLDS?

If you’d like us to photograph children from multiple households during your Christmas mini-session, each household must book their own individual session… but if you select adjacent session times, we’ll be happy to include images of children from both households together.

Experience has shown us that multiple households booking a single session can lead to a somewhat chaotic session, with a negative effect on all the images taken during the session…

Staggering two individual sessions back to back ensures we have sufficient time to photograph each child properly. Then we’ll add a selection of images of children from both households together, during the overlap between the two sessions.

This ensures you get the best images and the most variety during the two sessions. Each household’s gallery will include images of their own children plus the images we take of both households together.

Set colours for 2024

WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

As in previous years, for 2024 we’ll be offering a choice of one darker (low key) backdrop, plus a lighter (high key) backdrop – so you can choose one or the other… or a selection of images from both.

We’ve selected two of our favourite backdrops for use this year – so you’ll know 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 babieswho 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.

Our Christmas sets are not huge (about 1.5M high x 2m wide) so they’re really designed for just the children, and this is when they look best…

Whilst we can include one or two pictures with parents if you particularly want, you’ll need to understand that it’s a pretty tight squeeze, and you’ll need to ‘hunker down’ on the floor for this.

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.

Unfortunately, no. 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!

Rob and Karen has given me and my family an incredible keepsake of beautifully edited photographs that encapsulate a very precious moment in time of my little family ten days after our second son was born. We will most certainly cherish these forever. I burst into tears when I first saw all the photographs Rob and Karen taken of us. We look forward to framing and displaying them in our home and enjoying them for many years to come.If you require photos of your loved ones that will be around long after you are gone and will be cherished forever - Rob and Karen will not let you down.Nadia, Remi, Kostya and Aleks.

Thank you so much to Karen and Rob! We absolutely love our pictures and they were worth every penny. They were both very gentle with my baby girl and even doe it was quite difficult to take her photos as she was wide awake they were very patient with her. Me and my partner just had to sit back and relax!

Booked a Christmas mini session for my daughter’s first Christmas. Very friendly husband and wife from start to finish and didn’t feel rushed as I had to give my 4 month old a bottle during the session. Also very attentive, getting toys and puppets out to help me get some lovely pictures of her smiling. Happy with result, will be going back next year!

We’ve had an amazing experience. Pictures are lovely and a great memento of the newborn time that is so short. Would highly recommend the studio if you’re thinking of doing a newborn shoot as it’s not only super friendly and professional environment but also by comparison to similar other offerings quite competitively priced.

Rob and Karen were amazing! We originally booked for a newborn shoot but decided last minute not to go ahead. Rob and Karen were very accommodating and let us book for another time. We ended up booking a sitter session, it was so much fun! We are so pleased with the photos and love every single one. Highly recommend.

We have used babyshoots photography multiple times now, and have plans to use them again in the future. Rob & Karen are excellent and are a pleasure to work with!

We got newborn photographs done with Rob and Karen, they were really accommodating to fit us in at short notice prior to 2 weeks since birth, as they mentioned the sooner the better for these sort of photos. We came into their home studio and were immediately at ease. They explained the process taking on board some of things we wanted and got to work! Our little one didn't want to sleep initially (although we also loved the awake photos they got), but as a team they worked with her, keeping her calm, then got her to sleep and that's when they stepped up the speed! Between them, they worked well for clothes changes/setting changes keeping baby asleep and it was truly a pleasure to watch professionals at their craft. Cut to receiving to the photos which was around about 2 weeks fully edited, we are delighted with the results! Of course cost may be a consideration for some for such photos but we considered it fair for the quality received. Delighted with the outcome and we would recommend it for newborn photos! We are also aware they do other photos for babies/children and would not hesitate to use them in the future!

It's a family run business and the couple who do the baby photo shoots are absolutely lovely. We used them before as well for our first child and came back to them again for our second. They make you feel comfortable and you know your child is in good hands while they get them ready for different poses. They are very professional, friendly and flexible. They usually turn things around pretty quickly. I highly recommend their services.

I'd highly recommend Karen and Rob having attended for a newborn photoshoot which also featured a family shot with our two other toddlers. Karen and Rob were fantastic at engaging our older children whilst ensuring they got those all important shots which we will cherish as parents for years to come and our children once they are older. I was particularly impressed by how many different shots we managed to get in what seemed like a very short frame of time - they truly are very skilled at what they do and as a customer you could not ask for more when wanting to capture that shortlived, fleeting newborn period.Our family and friends have loved the pictures we have shared and the passion Rob and Karen have for their craft really does come across in the pictures they capture so beautifully, thank you!

What can I say - absolutely amazing from start to finish - Rob and Karen made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped in - they are so professional and we literally listened to every word they said and how to stand - pose and what would look great in the photos - my partner went out of her comfort zone trusting what they said would look nice and she is so happy she did the pictures turned out much better than we could imagine - this was our maternity photoshoot and we have booked the newborn shoot also for when our little one is here and cannot wait to go back - 5 starts isn’t enough for Babyshoots

We booked the Baby Plan (3 shoots) and chose the maternity, new born and sitter sessions. Neither of us likes having our photos taken but we wanted to make sure we captured this time of our and our baby's life in a unique but personal way and they delivered! From the very start Rob and Karen made us feel comfortable and were very professional. We cannot recommend them highly enough!!

Karen and Rob are simply amazing! We’ve had our newborn photo shoot and our sitter session, and each time they’ve engaged beautifully with my son to get him looking at the camera and smiling! The turn around time to receive the pictures is great and they’re such good quality! We’re looking forward to doing our next shoot with them as a family. I would highly recommend.

We had a newborn shoot with Karen and Rob for our daughter back in 2019 and so when our son recently made his arrival we knew there would be no one better to do his shoot. They are such a brilliant team with Rob producing absolutely stunning photos and Karen being the baby whisperer! They are very professional and made the whole experience in their lovely studio very relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a newborn or toddler photoshoot. We will treasure our beautiful photos of both our children forever.
