There are a whopping FIVE mini session styles this year to choose from and they are:

Your Christmas Mini Session will include:

  • 20 minute mini session, at my studio in Llanishen, North Cardiff
  • 2 high resolution beautifully edited photos as a digital download
  • Small Gift per child
You can upgrade your package afterwards to the IVY or MISTLETOE packages (see below).

Things to note:

– The sessions are suitable for up to TWO children, if you have THREE children, you can still book of course! but there is a supplement of £30 (to allow for extra editing, extra images and for the extra gift). I will invoice you this afterwards, please make a note/message me when booking that you have three children.

– If you have more than Three Children please book two consecutive slots.

– I would advise my mini sessions are ideal for 6 months old and above, this is to make the most of the sets (as a baby below this age will not likely be able to sit unaided, so they can only lie down). For babies aged 3-9 months I would recommend the Cosy Christmas set. 

– For the Jolly Gingerbread set I would recommend it is for age 4 and above. If you want to book this under this age, contact me first. 

– The new Christmas Tree Farm Fun set is better suited to older children, as this is not really a ‘toy based’ set, not for sitting on the floor. 

– No Parent shots are taken during my mini sessions. 

– The £99 Booking Fee (Holly package) is non refundable. 

Terms and Conditions apply (PDF, opens in new window) .  By paying your booking fee you agree to the terms.

How to Book: 
VIP launch – 1st Sept 8pm

She was brilliant with both my children but especially my almost 3 year old who normally won’t look at a camera, she managed to get some lovely photos of him and my 8 month old. The final images are beautiful. I can’t recommend Clare enough.

I cannot recommend Clare enough!! My daughter had her Christmas photoshoot with clare for her first Christmas and we absolutely love the photos. Clare was very good at making my daughter feel at ease and really did capture her cheeky smile and personally through the photos!

We had such a great experience having Christmas photos taken by Clare. If you are interested don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed. We were spoilt for choice when we saw the images.
