Good to know

What should we wear?

Simple colours photograph best: creams, reds, greens, knits. Matching outfits are lovely but not needed. Darina will send a short guide when you book.

How long is a session?

One hour. Enough for everyone to settle, including little ones.

When will we get the photographs?

All the photographs come to you straight after the session in a smaller jpeg format, with the finished images following in time for Christmas.

Can newborns and babies join?

Yes. Newborn and baby Christmas sessions are gentle and run at the baby's pace.

Can I give a Christmas session as a present?

Yes. Darina prepares a gift voucher in the recipient's name, printed or by email. Call 07983 424862 to arrange one.
