20 minutes — enough time to capture a lovely variety without little ones losing interest. I'll keep things relaxed, with plenty of movement and play rather than expecting everyone to stand and smile at the camera.

5 digital images are included, chosen by you from your finished gallery. If you fall in love with more, you'll also have the option to upgrade your gallery.

Absolutely. These sessions are designed with families in mind, and the shorter session works particularly well for babies and younger children with shorter attention spans.

A bit of autumn weather doesn't worry me, but if the forecast looks unworkable I'll be in touch ahead of time and we'll move your session to the next suitable date. I'll keep an eye on the forecast in the days leading up to the sessions so you'll know the plan in plenty of time.

Warm, tonal layers and plenty of texture photograph beautifully at this time of year. If you'd like to introduce a pattern, keeping it to one person usually works best so everything still feels relaxed and cohesive.

Once you've booked, you'll receive my full welcome guide by the start of October, with lots more advice on what to wear and how to prepare.

As we only have 20 minutes, mini sessions are designed for up to 2 adults and 3 children. We'll focus on your family together, alongside a few individual photographs of the children.

If you'd like to include extended family, get in touch and I can recommend a session that gives us a little more time.
