Mini Sessions

A young girl with blonde hair, wearing a yellow shirt and denim overalls, is tending to a potted plant on a wooden table. She is using green gardening gloves and holding a small gardening tool while carefully adding soil to a purple pot with vibrant green and pink leaves. The background features a lush garden setting with various potted plants and greenery, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Absolutely amazing service. We were made to feel so comfortable during our newborn photo shoot. Laura is brilliant and our photos turned out so beautiful, we are so so so happy with them.

What Are Mini Sessions?

Mini sessions are shorter, simplified photoshoots designed to capture beautiful moments in a time-efficient way. They’re ideal for those who want a smaller selection of professional photographs or are working with a specific budget. Mini sessions differ from full sessions in that they focus on fewer setups, provide a more streamlined experience, and have a set number of images included.

The Difference Between Mini Sessions and Full Sessions

  • Mini Sessions:
    • Shorter in duration (30 minutes or 1 hour).
    • Include a set number of digital images with upgrade options available.
    • Focused on a specific theme or setup.
    • Perfect for smaller budgets, gifts, or quick milestone captures.
  • Full Sessions:
    • Longer, more comprehensive sessions tailored to your needs.
    • Include a wider variety of setups, poses, and images.
    • Ideal for capturing an extensive gallery of memories.

Newborn Mini Sessions

Newborn Mini Sessions are perfect for babies up to 6 weeks old. These 1-hour sessions focus on safely wrapping and posing your baby in a color palette of your choice. You’ll receive 5 professionally edited photographs, delivered digitally within 3 working days of your session.

Price:

Great for:
Smaller budgets, wanting a handful of images, or as a
thoughtful gift.

Family Option:

Just got our photos from our third visit to 'The REAL Father Christmas' (Oliver, age 5) which is not only a magical experience for the children but you also get wonderful photos to keep and share with loved ones! Laura is amazing and her attention to detail really makes the experience memorable and unique. Father Christmas is engaging and puts the children at ease - he even asked my son to roar like a dinosaur! After that, my children were relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the session. Thank you again Laura for organising this fantastic experience and capturing beautiful memories!" It really is an amazing experience, thank you so much Laura xx
