How a family session works

The goal is simple: keep it enjoyable, keep it moving, and capture connection. Here’s the rhythm that works well for most families.

Pick a location (we’ll guide you)
We’ll recommend a spot based on children’s ages, time of day, parking, and how busy Cambridge gets. If you already have a favourite place, even better.

Start with a few “everyone looking great” portraits
We grab the classic groupings early (while attention spans are fresh), then shift into natural interaction.

Play, walk, explore
We use simple prompts — a short game, a cuddle, a quick run — to create genuine expressions without turning the session into a performance.

Finish with your “must‑haves”
Grandparents, sibling portraits, individual child frames, or a specific backdrop — we keep a tidy list and tick it off efficiently.

Good to know

We work at kid-time. Snack break? Run-around? No drama — that’s often when the best photos happen.
Parents are included. You deserve to be in the story, not only behind the phone.
Pets are welcome. Just tell us in advance so we plan the flow.

Cambridge family photography — FAQs

What should we wear?

Keep it simple and comfortable. Soft, neutral colours photograph beautifully and keep attention on faces. Avoid large logos and heavy stripes. Layers (jumpers, jackets) add depth and help with Cambridge weather.

What if the kids won’t cooperate?

That’s normal — and it’s why we shoot outdoors and keep things moving. We use gentle prompts and short games, and we never force it. Often the “best” photos happen when children forget the camera is there.

Can we include grandparents or pets?

Absolutely. Tell us who’s coming and we’ll plan a quick sequence to cover all the important combinations without dragging things out.

How many photos do we receive, and when?

You’ll get a next‑day preview (a small highlights set). The full gallery lands in 3–5 days, fully edited and ready to download in high resolution.

Do you offer indoor sessions?

Most families love the outdoor look, but indoor sessions are possible — especially with the optional on‑location studio set‑up. If you have a specific vision, tell us and we’ll advise.
