Why choose a Spring Mini Session?
Mini sessions are short and sweet, but still full of magic. They’re one of my favourite ways to photograph families.
They’re perfect if you want:
-
Updated family photos without a big time commitment
-
Beautiful outdoor images with natural light
-
A relaxed, child-led session (great for little attention spans!)
-
Something more affordable than a full shoot
-
Seasonal photos with fresh spring colours
-
A lovely gift idea for grandparents
Because they’re only 30 minutes, children stay engaged and happy — which means more genuine smiles and cuddles, and fewer “are we done yet?” moments.
What to wear for spring photos
Spring styling is all about keeping things light, soft, and comfortable.
Colours that work beautifully:
-
Neutrals (cream, beige, soft grey)
-
Pastels (sage, blush, baby blue, lavender)
-
Denim
-
Soft earthy tones
Simple tips:
-
Coordinate rather than match exactly
-
Avoid large logos or bold patterns
-
Add layers (cardigans, jackets, dresses with movement)
-
Think textures – knits, linen, cotton
-
Comfortable shoes for walking on grass
And most importantly… choose outfits you feel like yourselves in. Natural and relaxed always photographs best.
A gentle, easy experience
My sessions are always calm and people-focused. No stiff posing or pressure to perform — just time together, little moments, laughter, cuddles, and space for your children to be themselves. I am well known for putting people at ease in front of the camera.
If you’ve been meaning to update your family photos, spring really is the loveliest time to do it.
Spaces are limited and these sessions always book quickly, so pop me a message to reserve yours. I’d love to see you by the river.

Why choose me? As an experienced Bournemouth family photographer of 16 years, I have a passion for capturing genuine emotions when photographing local families.

Any questions? Here are a few common ones…
- What if it rains? – If I need to cancel the sessions due to rain I will reschedule.
- What if we need to cancel? – As you can appreciate these sessions are only viable at this cost if they are full, if you don’t turn up, you will lose your session fee. If someone is ill then I will do my best to reschedule you in genuine cases, but 24 hours’ notice is much appreciated.
- How many people can we have in the session? – I can offer sessions to families up to 6.
Book your session today – I’m looking forward to celebrating spring with you!
