Questions

What should we wear? Choose a colour palette rather than matching outfits, such as creams and greys, or Christmas reds, greens and gold. If you wear similar colours it makes it more cohesive. Christmas jumpers are fun or matching hats and scarves. Avoid logos and slogans, because they pull the eye away from faces.

Can we bring the dog? Absolutely. If there’s time, your dog can have a few solo shots too.

Can we bring props? Yes. Bring a favourite toy, a named stocking, or anything that makes the photos feel like yours.

How many people can come? One household per session. The studio is cosy, so for bigger groups please book a full family session.

What if we’re running late? Sessions run back to back, so your 20 minutes start at your booked time. Arrive 10 minutes early to make sure you get every minute.

Is the studio accessible? Yes. It’s all on one level, with wide doors and a large accessible toilet.
