πŸ‚ Autumn Family Mini Sessions 2025 | Dorset & The New Forest Family Photographer 

This autumn the perfect time to update your family photos with my Autumn Family Mini Sessions 2025. I’m so excited to announce that this year’s sessions will take place from 18th October in The New Forest and Ferndown, Dorset.

These popular mini sessions are designed to capture all the warmth of the beautiful autumn colour of this special time of year in a relaxed, fun wayβ€”without needing to commit to a full photoshoot.

πŸ“Έ What Are Autumn Mini Sessions?

My Autumn Family Mini Sessions in Dorset are 30-minute photoshoots set against stunning seasonal backdrops. They are ideal for busy people who want beautiful professional images of their families without spending too long in front of the camera.

During your session, I’ll guide you with gentle posing and prompts so you feel comfortable and natural, resulting in beautiful, timeless photos you’ll treasure forever.

If you’re searching for a New Forest family photographer or mini photoshoots in Ferndown, this is the perfect opportunity to create keepsake images at an affordable price.Family walking through autumn leaves during Dorset mini photoshoot


πŸ‚ Locations

Sessions will be held at two beautiful locations:

🍁 The New Forest: Beautiful open spaces, old trees and colour, perfect for adventurous little ones and relaxed family moments.

🍁 Ferndown, Dorset: A lovely local spot with autumnal trees and beautiful soft light, great for classic natural portraits and fun shots.

If you’re on holiday in Dorset or the New Forest this autumn, why not book a holiday family photoshoot to remember your trip?

🧣 What Should We Wear for an Autumn Family Photoshoot?

The right clothing can really elevate your photos. Here are some tips to help you look and feel your best:

✨ Choose a warm, autumnal or neutral palette. Creams, beiges, rusts, mustard, olive and berry colours look beautiful against autumn backgrounds as does denim.

✨ Avoid black tops. They look dull in photographs.

✨ Avoid big logos and pictures on clothing. They can be distracting and date your images.

✨ Layers work wonderfully. Cardigans, big knits, scarves and boots will keep you warm but also add texture.

✨ Coordinate but don’t match. Pick 2–3 complementary colours to wear across the family for a gorgeous, cohesive look.

If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to chat through outfit ideas before your session.
