It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I know, I know…we’re in the middle of summer and here I go mentioning the C word. However, each July I have clients asking me about Christmas sessions and I always seem to be late to the game, so this year I’m opening bookings early, for all those of you who like to prepare for festive season and organise your Christmas presents well in advance :)

I will be offering 2 different types of Christmas sessions again: children/baby sessions and family/maternity sessions. It’s going to be cozy and magical!

Available dates: 11 November, 25 November and 1 December.

All sessions will take around 20-30 minutes each and you can choose from 3 available packages.

Prices start from £99

Children sessions

• suitable for children and babies who can sit unaided (due to limited session time Christmas Mini Sessions are not suitable for newborns).

• up to 3 children

• dates: 11 November and 1 December

• 2 beautiful set-ups are included and both will be used for your shoot: a dark, classic Christmas look and a light, snowy red cart look (see photos on the right).

• what to wear: for the classic Christmas look, I would suggest wearing warm, rich colours: red, burgundy, deep green, gold, navy blue, brown. Beige or cream will work as well. You can go either with a more official look, or go casual with knits and Christmas pyjamas. For the red cart look, choose white, red, cream, grey, gold, silver or beige. Coats, hats, scarfs and gloves will look great. I have some outfits available for babies under 1 year old, and few for older children, age depending.

• magical Christmas digital composites are also available.

• the backdrops used are children-sized set-ups and so are not best suited for extended families, however we are happy to accommodate 1-2 family portraits

Family/maternity sessions

• suitable for families, couples and maternity

• up to 6 people per shoot - immediate family only.

• date: 25 November

• 1 set-up: classic simplicity - an elegant bench and Christmas tree against a dark red backdrop.

• what to wear: I would suggest party dresses/skirts & tops, suits, tailored shirts and trousers, ties or bows. Red, gold, navy blue or deep green would work best. Brown, cream or beige will look good as well.

  Colour coordination between family members will enhance the overall ensemble.

• clients are welcome to use my maternity gowns and matching mummy and me dresses (steam cleaned after each shoot).
