Christmas Mini Sessions 2026

It's that time of year again -twinkling lights, cosy jumpers and the kind of family moments you'll want to hold onto. My Christmas Mini Sessions 2026 are the perfect way to capture the warmth of the season with your family young and old.

These short, relaxed sessions take place at my home studio in Gravesend, and every family gets time on two beautifully styled sets, each designed to feel natural, warm and full of love. Whether it's a baby's very first Christmas, a larger sibling group, or the whole family together, my aim is always the same… beautiful, genuine photos you'll treasure for years to come.

Pillar candles warmly illuminate the hearth alongside beautifully wrapped presents and flocked Christmas trees, creating a festive holiday photo background for family portraits in Gravesend, Kent.

What to Expect

Every family who walks through my door is a little different, and I love that. Some little ones are all smiles from the first second; others need a bit of time to settle in, and that's completely normal. My priority is always to create a calm, fun and unhurried atmosphere, so everyone - from the shyest toddler to the most reluctant kids - feels comfortable in front of the camera. Within your 30-minute session, l'll capture a lovely variety of images: some with the whole family together, and a few with just the siblings and a quieter moment with the newest addition to the family. There's no rigid script to follow - just gentle guidance from me, and space for your family's natural warmth to come through.

suggestions on What to wear

Since your session covers both sets, it's worth choosing an outfit that works nicely across each. Soft neutrals and textured fabrics work well - cream, gold, soft grey, warm beige - sit beautifully against The Fireplace, while a touch more festive colour, like reds, plaids and cosy knits, really comes alive against The Vintage Truck.

A neutral base with one or two cosy, textured pieces tends to work well in both. For the kids there will be time for a quick outfit change but optional.You don't need to match perfectly from head to toe; coordinating tones across the family is all it takes for a beautifully cohesive set of photos. If you'd like a hand planning outfits for the whole family, I'm always happy to help - just send me a message.

Questions you might have

  • How many people can be included in the session? Up to 6 People in total. Sessions are designed around your family, parents, children of any age and siblings are all welcome.

​

  • What if my child doesn't want to cooperate on the day? Completely understandable, and nothing to worry about. Children - of any age - don't always feel like performing on cue, and I build that into how I work. We'll take things at their pace, and often the sweetest, most genuine photos come from those unscripted in-between moments.

​

  • Can we get some individual or sibling-only shots as well as a family one? Yes- within your session we can capture a mix of full family, sibling and individual shots, whatever suits you best.

​

  • When will I receive my photos? Your beautifully edited images will be ready within 10 working days maximum and orders must be placed within 2 days of receiving your gallery.

​

  • Can I order prints or additional images afterwards? Yes, once you've seen your gallery you're welcome to add on further digital images, prints, and products if you wish.

​

  • How do I secure my session? A booking fee of £40 secures your spot, with the remaining balance of £90 due on the day.

​

  • Do I need to choose between the two sets? Not at all - every session includes time on both, so you'll get a lovely variety of images without having to pick a favourite.

 

Christmas Mini Sessions are one of my favourite parts of the year, and spaces always go quickly. If you'd love a set of timeless, heartfelt photos of your family this Christmas, I'd love to welcome you into the studio.
