What Are Mini Sessions
Mini sessions last up to 30 minutes, typically in a single location, and provide families with an affordable, easy way to get stunning professional photographs for gifts, home decor, or just to have around as delightful memoirs of a special day. We typically schedule a Mini session in small blocks of time in a beautiful outdoor location with lots of beautiful natural light.
After your session you can choose from 15 retouched photos in a private online gallery. It’s the perfect way for new clients to get a taste of my photography style before booking a full session. They are also ideal for “themed” photos throughout the year marking special events and milestones.

Location & Directions
This year our Bluebell session will be taking place at Micheldever Wood (Forestry Commission) half way between Basingstoke and Winchester.
We will meet at Micheldever Wood car park.
Approx Postcode SO24 9TZ for SatNav but best to search from Micheldever Wood car park in a map app.
The Carpark Entrance on What Three Words is ///feasts.pads.prepped
From Basingstoke take the A30/A33 towards Kings Worthy for 8.5 miles. Turn left signposted Worthington and The Candovers. Go under the M3 and along the road for a further 0.25 miles where you will find Micheldever Wood car park on the left.
From Winchester / Junction 9 on M3, travel north on A33. Turn right signposted Worthington and The Candovers. Go under the M3 and along the road for a further 0.25 miles where you will find Micheldever Wood car park on the left.
There is a surfaced trail that goes from the car park into the wood however the footpaths into the bluebells can be muddy, so please bring some wellies with you and you may change your shoes when you arrive if you wish.
PLEASE NOTE: It could be particularly busy at the carpark because the Bluebells are quite an attraction so please arrive at least 10 minutes before your session is due to start, so you can park and make sure we have enough time to get to the location. We will then walk for about 5 minutes into the woods to the spectacular carpet of bluebells.
Feel free to call me on 07979781596 if you have any problems finding us.

What To Wear
Deciding what to wear for your session can seem a little daunting. Following these simple tips will help you choose the perfect outfits for your session with ease. Don’t forget to check your wardrobe first!
-
Do's.
– Choose a colour scheme based on where you’d like to hang these photos. E.G. If you’re planning on a living room wall display and your living room is decorated in earth tones choose colours that will coordinate.
– Layer up. The more layers the better. Jumpers, scarves, jewellery, jacket layers create visual interest and add texture throughout your photos. They’re a great addition.
– Pay attention to your shoes. A pair of trainers mixed in with cute boots and dress shoes can be an eye sore in your photos. Try to stick with neutral shoes for the whole family.
– Stay comfortable! Especially for mum, pick something you love and build around that. Wear something you’re comfortable sitting, standing, running and playing in.
-
Dont's
– Match. Leave jeans and white t-shirts and instead choose a colour scheme and coordinate.
– Be afraid of patterns. Polkadot, florals and stripes can be overwhelming when all paired together but mixing in a few patterns here and there are another great way to add some interest to you photo session.
– Wear logos. As much as shoes can be an eye sore so can a big logo across a t-shirt. Try to steer clear of sports or brand logos or sayings across the front of your shirt. Again, this takes the attention away from the family and brings the eye right to the t-shirt and can date your photos.
– Don’t over think it! You want your family to look like your family, so don’t stress too much about the outfits. Be sure to have fun with it.
FAQs
-
Mini sessions are limited to families of 4 or smaller. If you have a larger family, I recommend you book a full session as this will give us more time.
-
Because of the nature of a Mini session, you will only be allowed to be photographed in 1 outfit. If you prefer a range of images then I recommend wearing layers, so you can remove a jacket or jumper.
-
If the weather is bad and we have heavy rain, the following day of your session will be a backup date for your session or we can move your session forward if things look brighter later in the day and there is availability. I will make a decision a couple of hours before our session if we need to postpone.

I aim to have your photos ready within 2 weeks of your session. You will have 15 retouched images to choose from in your online gallery. As part of your package you will be able to choose 3 of your favourite images to download. You will be able to purchase additional image collections from your online gallery.
