Professional Family Photography in Milton Keynes

Family photography is wonderful any time of year! Popular times include:

• Spring/Summer: Bright, fresh photos perfect for updates
• Autumn: Beautiful warm tones and cozy vibes
• Before holidays: For Christmas cards or gifts
• Special milestones: New baby, graduations, anniversaries

Book your Milton Keynes family session 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during busy seasons.

Family photography sessions typically last 60-90 minutes, depending on your chosen package and family size.

We allow plenty of time for everyone to feel comfortable, multiple groupings (whole family, parents only, kids only, individual portraits), and outfit changes if desired. Larger families may benefit from extended session time.

For the best results, we recommend coordinating (not matching) outfits:

• Choose a color palette: 2-3 complementary colors across everyone’s outfits
• Mix textures and patterns: One patterned piece, rest solid colors
• Avoid: Logos, neon colors, or all-white/all-black
• Comfort is key: Everyone should feel confident in their clothes
• Bring options: 2 outfit choices per person if you’d like variety

Consider your home decor when choosing colors – photos often end up on walls!

Absolutely! Multi-generational family photos are precious memories. We can capture various groupings:

• Whole extended family together
• Grandparents with all grandchildren
• Each nuclear family unit
• Individual family branches
• Candid interactions between generations

These photos become treasured heirlooms for generations to come.

Don’t worry! I’m experienced in working with families with young or energetic children. We:

• Work quickly to capture attention while it lasts
• Take breaks when needed
• Use engaging techniques to get natural smiles
• Schedule for your children’s best time of day (avoid nap times!)
• Bring snacks and favorite toys as rewards

The best family photos often come from those candid, natural moments of interaction.

Please bring:

• 1-2 outfit options per person
• Snacks and drinks (especially for children)
• Hairbrush and touch-up makeup
• Any special props with sentimental value (optional)
• Comfortable attitudes and readiness to have fun!
