Family & Pet Mini Photography Sessions in the Surrey Hills

Spring and Autumn Photography Sessions for Families and Pets

Integrated Solutions for Complex Needs

Sometimes it's the simplest moments that become our favourite memories. A walk through the woods, little hands reaching for yours, children running ahead, muddy paws and a familiar face looking back at you.

My Family Mini Photography Sessions are a lovely opportunity to capture these moments in a relaxed, natural way, without committing to a longer photoshoot.

Held twice a year, in spring and autumn, these special outdoor photography days take place in some of my favourite locations across Surrey and the Surrey Hills.

Whether you'd love some updated family photographs, a few pictures of the children as they grow, or some lovely portraits with your four-legged companion, I'd love to help you capture this little chapter of your life.

Spring and Autumn Mini Photo Session Days

Spring Mini Sessions

Celebrate the arrival of spring with fresh green woodland, blossom, bluebells and the first signs of warmer days. Spring is a lovely time for relaxed outdoor family photographs, with plenty of opportunities for little adventures and natural moments together.

Autumn Mini Sessions

There's something particularly lovely about autumn in the Surrey countryside. Woodland colours, golden leaves and soft afternoon light create a beautiful setting for family photographs. Wrap up warm, bring the children and enjoy a little autumn adventure together.

Each session day has a selected location and a limited number of appointments. Dates, locations and available times are announced ahead of each seasonal campaign.

What’s Included?

Each mini photography session includes:

  • A 30-minute outdoor photoshoot at a selected Surrey location.

  • Five beautifully edited, high-resolution digital photographs.

  • A private online gallery to view and select your favourite images.

  • The option to purchase additional photographs if you'd like a larger collection.

Session fee: £235

The session fee includes your photoshoot and five digital images. Additional photographs can be purchased separately from your online gallery.

Children, Couples and Dogs Are All Welcome

My mini sessions aren't just for families with children. They're also a lovely opportunity for couples who would like some natural photographs together, particularly if you have a four-legged family member you'd love to include.

Dogs are very welcome at my outdoor sessions, and I'm always happy to work with families who would like to bring their dog along.

Whether it's a photograph of everyone together, the children playing with the dog, or a few lovely portraits of you and your canine companion, we'll keep things relaxed and informal.

After all, our dogs are part of the family too!

A Relaxed Approach to Family Photography

My approach to photography is natural, informal and child-led. Rather than asking everyone to stand still and smile at the camera, I prefer to let families enjoy time together while I capture the little moments as they happen.

We might explore the woodland, play a few games, collect leaves, enjoy a cuddle or simply have a little wander together.

I'll offer gentle direction when needed, but there's no pressure for children to behave perfectly or for everyone to pose. Some of the loveliest photographs happen when people are simply being themselves.

You don't need to worry about bringing props or planning activities. Just come along, enjoy some time together and let me take care of the photographs.

Where Do Mini Sessions Take Place?

My seasonal mini photography sessions take place at selected outdoor locations across Surrey, with a particular love for the beautiful countryside and woodland of the Surrey Hills.

Locations are chosen for their natural surroundings, accessibility and suitability for families with young children and dogs.

Previous and potential locations include Abinger Roughs, Netley Park and other beautiful countryside spots around Dorking and the wider Surrey Hills.

The exact meeting point and location details are shared when bookings open.
