Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for family photos, whether that's for cards, gifts, or just a nice set of photos to mark the year.

A lovely gift idea too

If you're stuck on what to get a parent or grandparent this year, a gift card for a future session is an easy, thoughtful present, you can find them on the Gift Card page.

Why I move indoors once it turns properly cold

Once winter really sets in, I keep sessions indoors, usually at your home, rather than outdoors. It's simply more comfortable, especially for babies and younger children who feel the cold much faster than adults do, and nobody takes their best photos while shivering. Indoor sessions still give plenty of natural, cosy results, just without anyone freezing to get them.

If you'd like to book a Christmas or winter session, have a look at the current packages on the Book Online page.
