Q. Where will the sessions be?
A. Mini sessions will take place in my beautiful studio in Loanhead, near Edinburgh.
Q. How do I book?
Sign up to the early bird list and you’ll get the booking link 24h early! Once public bookings open, the link will be shared on my social media and here on the website.
Q. What age is this suitable for?
Absolutely any age – whether they’re toddling or already ruling the school playground. All I ask is that they’re comfortable in the studio setting and ready to have some fun.
Q. Can siblings join in?
This is a solo session format to celebrate the birthday child. If you’d like a sibling or family shoot, just pop me a message and we can chat about options!
Q. What should they wear?
Smart-casual works great – think something you’d dress them in for a birthday party. Neutrals or soft colours photograph beautifully, but feel free to add a splash of personality too.
Q. Are prints included?
Session fee includes your shoot and setup, after your session you will be able to choose from a selection of digital & print packages. Gift items and printed keepsakes will be available as add-ons.
Q. What do we need to bring?
A. Please arrive dressed and ready to start. You can bring a hairbrush, a drink for your littles, a favourite toy if you don’t mind it in the photos. I will have wet wipes and tissues for any last minute nose wipes!
Q. How long is the session?
A. Sessions will last approximately 15min, give or take. Please arrive on time as sessions are booked back to back and time will have to be deducted if you are late.
Q. Can we take our own photos?
A. I have a strict no photos allowed policy, your session will be terminated immediately if you are seen taking photos/videos. Let me do the job you are paying me for! 🙂
Q. Can we cancel/reschedule our session?
A. Sessions are not refundable, but you are more than welcome to sell your space to someone else. Just inform me of the name change as soon as possible.
Q. How much are the photos?
A. Your session costs £25. Special on the day only photo package prices vary between £49-£149 to suit all budgets.
Q. When will our photos be ready?
A. Your digital images will be ready within a week from your session. Prints and cards within 2 weeks from order.
Q. How will we order our photos?
A. Heavily discounted on the day only packages will be available to purchase straight after your session. Digital, print and card bundles will be available.
Q. How will we get our ordered prints and gifts?
A. Two collection dates will be given for you to choose from, alternatively opt for delivery for a small fee.
Q. Can you edit bruises/scratches/drool from the photos?
A. Mini sessions mean minimal editing, so please make sure your children are clean and all boogers wiped etc. In case of an accident just before the shoot I will of course remove the bruise/scratch wherever possible.
Q. Any tips?
A. Make sure everyone is fed, watered and had a nap if they need one. If you worry about kids messing up their outfits, put a large hoodie over for on the way. Promise them something special for afterwards, McDonalds is a firm favourite and is in the area! 🙂
Allow me to take the lead in warming them up if possible, but also feel free to come up close to my camera and show off your funniest dance moves if that’s what’s going to make them giggle!
Q. Do you have any other dates available?
A. Depending on how the first date goes, I am planning to offer these sessions every couple of months.
