Christmas Mini Sessions
Get ready for a wonderful Christmas experience!
I’ve transformed my private home into a Christmas Grotto to welcome you all for this years mini sessions. We’ll have some special guests as Santa and some of his elf helpers will be there to meet and have photographs with (in addition to your family photos).
After your portrait session and meeting with Santa, you’ll be guided to another room set up with Christmas crafts, hot chocolate, cakes, and more. Please indicate any allergies on your booking form.
Please note: these minis are limited to 5 people per session, made up of up to 2 adults and up to 3 children due to intimacy of the space.
Private Home in S8
Saturday, November 23rd
Exact address is sent upon booking.
There is free, on-street parking available.
Due to the intimacy of the space, you will not be allowed entry until your time slot (so we can hide Santa away again until it’s time for him to make his entry during your session). I still recommend you arrive about 5 minutes early to ensure you find the place okay and are able to be at the front door exactly at your time slot. I may not be able to accommodate lateness and there are no refunds for being late or missing your time slot. An elf will welcome you into the home at your appointed time.
Please note: two dogs (huskies) live at the home and so there may be some dog hair around, though I will be doing my best deep clean before the sessions. The dogs will NOT be present during the mini sessions, but the sessions may not be suitable for someone with severe dog allergies.
Meet our Santa
This year we will have a visit from the one and only Santa Claus!
He will join us for the last 5-8 minutes of your session (after we’ve done some photos of just the family) to meet with your kids and give them a present.
It can be normal for children to be nervous, shy, or even scared around Santa. Our sessions are entirely child-led and there is no obligation from your child to do anything. Santa can just say hello from afar. My recommendation would be for you to show children a photo of our Santa and talk about him at length before the photoshoot. The more you talk about him with your children and prep them for seeing him and tell them about what he does (comes in to say hello, talk, and give you a present) the more likely they are to warm up faster to him (if at all).

Anything goes! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. For a full guide on what to wear, check out this blog post. If you want to borrow anything from the Client Wardrobe, let me know. They will only go out on a first-come-first-serve basis as it’s not possible to clean between minis.
I shoot in a very relaxed, informal way. Joy is at the heart of my work, so you can expect me to tell jokes, be silly, and do whatever it takes to get a natural laugh out of you and your littles.
Expect to have a bit of fun and hopefully smile and laugh a lot.
I’ve got a pretty quick turn around on my mini shoots, which is usually about a week.
I go through all of the images we took together and delete any duplicates, mid-blink expressions, or technically incorrect/out of focus images. I edit each photo remaining individually and then upload to your online viewing gallery. There is usually about 15 images uploaded. From there, you can select your 2 photos to download, included within the session price, or purchase more. There is also a variety of printed products to choose from within your gallery, including prints, canvases, and wall art.
