Make Summer Memories in Studio

The school summer holidays have finally arrived and are the perfect time to make Summer Memories in the Studio. While the Summer Holidays might bring a bit more chaos to the house (hello, endless snack requests!), they also bring something lovely. More time together as a family.

If you’ve been thinking about getting some proper family photos done or finally booking in that newborn session you’ve been meaning to arrange. Summer is the perfect time to make it happen.

School’s Out = More Time, Less Rush

No school runs, no packed-out weekends and no rushing around. The summer holidays are ideal for booking your shoot while things feel (slightly!) less hectic.

Whether you’re a new mum with a sleepy newborn, or you have little ones heading into their next school year. This is the perfect moment to hit pause and capture some special memories. I offer both weekday and weekend sessions. So we can find a time that fits around naps, work, or whatever stage of chaos your family is in right now.

Baby-Friendly, Mum-Friendly, Stress-Free

My studio is designed with little ones (and tired mums!) in mind. Comfy seating, a calming space, and plenty of time for feeding, changing, and settling.

From brand new babies to lively toddlers. I’ll gently guide the session at your child’s pace, so we get gorgeous photos without pressure.

Time to Update Those Family Photos?

When was the last time you had a photo of all of you? Most mums tell me they’re always the one behind the camera or hidden in the background. So let’s change that.

FAQs – Your Summer Photoshoot Questions Answered

Where are you based?

My studio is purpose built and in my back garden in Whitchurch, Hampshire, just a short drive from Basingstoke, Andover, and Newbury.

When should I book a newborn shoot?

The sweet spot is between 5–21 days old while your baby is still curled up and sleepy—but don’t worry if your little one is older. I photograph babies of all ages and will tailor the session to suit.

What should we wear?

Neutral colours work beautifully. Creams, soft greys, blush tones, and earthy shades.
