Mini sessions are thoughtfully styled shorter photoshoots built around a particular theme, season or setting. They’re perfect for capturing a small chapter of your story without committing to a full session, while still leaving you with a beautiful collection of photographs to keep. They’re also where I give myself a little more creative freedom: dreaming up concepts, planning every detail and bringing carefully considered sets to life. I’ve always loved themed shoots and the magic of turning an idea into art, so each mini session is designed with that in mind.

What’s Included

  • Up to 25–30 minutes at a single, pre-styled location.

  • I don’t believe storytelling should come with a capped deliverable, so you will receive all images from your shoot, professionally edited; typically 15–30, this could be more depending on the session, never fewer than 15. Delivered via a private online gallery to view, download and share.

  • Usually within a week, though busy periods (Christmas, wedding season, etc.) can push this to up to two weeks.

  • £65

    Per family or couple · limited slots per date, released in advance

FAQs

  • Mini sessions are shorter (25–30 minutes vs. up to 90), take place at one pre-styled location rather than somewhere of your choosing, and come with fewer edited images — but they're a lower-cost, lower-commitment way to get beautiful, professional photos, especially around a seasonal theme.

  • Absolutely — the location and styling are set, but what you wear is entirely up to you. I'll usually send some outfit guidance once you've booked, so everyone coordinates nicely with the theme.

  • Outdoor themes have a rain date or backup plan where possible — I'll be in touch the day before if the weather looks uncertain, and we'll either adjust the time slightly or move to the next available date.

  • One slot covers one household. If you'd like a larger group — grandparents, extended family, several siblings and their families — get in touch and I'll see whether a longer, private slot can be arranged instead.

  • Join the mailing list or follow along on Instagram — new dates are usually announced a few weeks before the session, and popular themes go quickly
