Thank you to everyone who booked our Sunday 8 November sessions at The Duke’s Head Hotel, which are now fully booked.

What's Included in Your Christmas Mini Photo Session
Your Christmas mini photo session includes up to 20 minutes on our styled festive set and 6 professionally edited, high-resolution digital images, delivered through a private online gallery. We’ll gently guide you through a mixture of family, sibling and individual portraits while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable for children. Additional gallery images will be available to purchase for £15 each if you would like more.
A Beautifully Styled Christmas Set
Our Christmas mini photo sessions take place on a carefully styled festive set, designed to create timeless photographs you’ll love displaying year after year. Rather than following short-lived trends, we’re creating a warm, elegant Christmas scene with beautiful seasonal décor, soft lighting and plenty of festive charm.
Whether you’re bringing young children, siblings or the whole family, the set provides the perfect backdrop for natural smiles, genuine laughter and those magical moments that make Christmas so special.
Who Are Christmas Mini Sessions For?
These Christmas mini photo sessions are ideal for families, children, siblings, babies celebrating their first Christmas and couples who want relaxed festive portraits without a full-length photoshoot. Your finished images are perfect for Christmas cards, framed gifts and keepsakes for grandparents. We’ll offer simple guidance throughout, so you do not need to know how to pose.

Christmas Mini Photo Session FAQs
Where and when are the Christmas mini photo sessions?
Our next Christmas mini photo sessions are on Saturday 14 November 2026 at Gaywood Church Rooms, Gayton Road, King’s Lynn, running from 10am to 4pm. Our first event at The Duke’s Head Hotel on Sunday 8 November is now sold out.
Is there anything we should know about the venue?
For everyone’s safety, please keep children out of the churchyard, as some of the gravestones are unstable. Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on site, including the car park.
How much does a session cost?
The complete package costs £85. After signing your agreement, you’ll receive an invoice for the £20 non-refundable booking fee. The remaining £65 is due seven days before your session.
How does the booking process work?
First, choose your preferred time through our online booking form. This places a temporary hold on the slot. We’ll then send your agreement to sign, followed by an invoice for the £20 non-refundable booking fee. Your session is confirmed once the agreement is signed and the booking fee has been paid. The remaining £65 is due seven days before your session.
What is included?
Each of our Christmas mini photo sessions lasts up to 20 minutes and includes 6 professionally edited, high-resolution digital images. You will receive a private online gallery where you can select and download your included favourites.
How long until we receive our photos?
Your edited gallery is delivered within 7 working days of your session, so you’ll have your festive photos ready to enjoy and share well before Christmas.
What should we wear?
Choose comfortable outfits that coordinate rather than match exactly. Neutral shades, warm seasonal colours and simple textures photograph beautifully. Avoid large logos, fluorescent colours and very busy patterns that could distract from your faces.
What if my child is shy or unsettled?
Our Christmas mini photo sessions are relaxed, and there is no pressure to pose perfectly. We gently guide children through natural interactions, games and cuddles. Arriving ready and on time gives everyone the best opportunity to settle into the experience.
Can we purchase additional photographs?
Yes. Your package includes 6 edited images, and any additional favourites can be purchased directly from your private gallery for £15 per image.
Why must we arrive on time?
Christmas minis run to a fixed, back-to-back schedule and cannot be extended when a family arrives late. Please allow time for parking and arrive ready for your allocated start time.
What if I need to cancel or can’t make my session?
Please let us know as soon as possible if you’re unable to attend. Your £20 booking fee is non-refundable, but any balance you’ve already paid will be refunded if you cancel ahead of your session. As this is a single-date event, we’re unable to offer an alternative session time this year, but do get in touch and we’ll always do our best to help.

A warm welcome from Sharmane
Little ones do not need to sit perfectly or smile on command. Sharmane keeps things calm, friendly and playful, giving your family space to settle in and enjoy the experience.
Your session is short enough to keep children engaged, with gentle guidance throughout and a beautiful set of six finished photographs to keep.

What to wear
Simple colours photograph beautifully
Soft neutrals, warm earthy shades, deep greens, burgundy and gentle textures will complement the Christmas backdrop without competing with it. Coordinating tones usually work better than everyone wearing an identical outfit.
Avoid large logos, neon colours and very busy patterns. Bring children in comfortable clothes they can move in—and feel free to bring one small, meaningful Christmas item.
