MINI SESSIONS
Is your child starting school this September? Mark this moment with a fun, relaxed mini photo session that celebrates their next big chapter — without the chaos of the first-day morning.
These sessions are designed to take the stress out of getting that perfect “first day of school” photo. No rushing, no creased uniforms, no last-minute tears (from kids or parents!). Instead, you’ll have beautiful, professional images ready to share, print, or frame — all taken ahead of time in a calm, joyful setting.
Whether it’s their very first year or they’re returning for another school adventure, these timeless portraits will capture their personality, pride, and excitement — while giving you one less thing to think about on that emotional first morning.

These sessions are for individual portraits. However you can book back-to-back sessions for siblings and I can also photograph them together.
The mini sessions take place in my beautiful, neutral-toned studio in my garden in Lawford, Manningtree—a cosy and comfortable setting perfect for relaxed portraits. The address will be given to you upon booking.
Your online gallery will be ready within 1 week of your session. You’ll be able to download your images and select your favourites for printing and further products.
Sessions are designed to be short and sweet so that children don't get overwhelmed or tired. Its very rare that I fail to get a gallery of images from even the most unwilling children!
Due to the limited nature of these sessions, bookings are non-refundable. However, if you can’t make it, please let me know as soon as possible, and I’ll do my best to re-sell your session. You can also pass it onto another family.
Yes! Your session includes 1 high-resolution digital image. But you’ll have the option to purchase additional images and further products if you’d like more than what’s included.
