Christmas Mini Family Photoshoot in West Sussex

September 9, 2025

My 2025 Christmas mini photoshoots in my West Sussex studio are here! I know it seems super early to be talking all things Christmas, but this year is going way too quickly so it’s better to get ahead of the festive rush!

The festive season has a special kind of magic. The twinkle of fairy lights, the sound of children giggling during the final countdown to Christmas day! For many families, these little moments become the most special and favourite memories of all.

That’s exactly what my Christmas Mini Sessions are all about! Creating timeless, joy-filled photos that capture your family’s story in the most magical season of the year. Whether you’re looking to update your family photos or get amazing Christmas cards made, these sessions are the perfect way to do it!

This year’s minis are now open for booking, and I’d love to give you a little peek at what’s in store!

I’m so excited to share this year’s set up, which will be held in my cosy countryside studio in Billingshurst, West Sussex. The theme is designed to feel warm, nostalgic, and magical! Think soft fairy lights, a touch of festive greenery, traditional wooden toys and an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a Christmas storybook.

Here is what you can expect:

  • When: Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th October (November has now sold out!)
  • Location: My cosy studio in Billingshurst, West Sussex
  • Session length: 20 minutes
  • What’s included: 3 digital images, (with the option to upgrade), plus a private gallery and slideshow with a minimum of 15 images to view
  • Investment: £150

As always, I’ll provide a prep & style guide to help you coordinate outfits, and I’ll be there to guide you through every step so the whole experience feels relaxed and enjoyable. With over 12 years of experience working with children, I know how to create an atmosphere that puts families at ease and helps kids’ natural personalities shine.

Why book a Christmas mini session?

1. Perfect for busy families

Life gets hectic! Especially around the festive season. These 20-minute sessions are designed to be short and sweet, so you can get beautiful photos without needing to commit to a full shoot.

2. Capture your children’s growth

Children change so quickly, and many families book minis every Christmas as a way of documenting their growth. It becomes a lovely tradition, and looking back on the photos year by year is a joy in itself.

3. Ideal for Kids with Short Attention Spans

If your child gets bored quickly minis are perfect. We’ll capture what we need without pressure or stress.

4. Budget-Friendly Way to Update Family photos

A mini session gives you the chance to have professional-quality images at a lower investment than a full shoot.

5. A stress-free experience

I’ve designed the experience to feel calm and welcoming especially for mums who often carry the mental load of organising family photos. From private parking at the studio to complimentary refreshments, everything is taken car of. All you need to do is turn up in your outfits ready to go!

What happens after the session?

The magic doesn’t stop when the session ends. Within around three weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery and a slideshow featuring at least 15 beautifully edited images. From there, you’ll select your favourite three images (included in the session price) and have the option to purchase additional ones if you fall in love with more—which often happens!

These images make perfect gifts for grandparents, stunning Christmas cards, or simply cherished keepsakes for your own home.

How to book:

  1. Click here to book your session: here
  2. Choose your preferred date and time slot.
  3. Secure your booking online with a £50 deposit.
  4. Receive your style guide and prep tips from me.

Spaces for these sessions are limited and always book up quickly. Sunday 30th November has already sold out and more than half of October’s dates. If you’d love to capture your family festive magic this year, I’d encourage you to secure your space soon.

Let’s make this Christmas one to remember! For you, for your children, and for the years to come when you look back at these images and smile.

I hope this has been helpful and awnesered any questions you may have had. If you still have any questions, you can contact me here

A CHRISTMAS MINI REVIEW FROM LAST YEAR

“We recently had a Christmas photoshoot with Paige and she was absolutely fantastic. She was great with our 2 young kids and we were so so pleased with the photos. This is our second photoshoot with Paige and will absolutely be booking again with her in future. Could not recommend her enough!!”
