About Me
Hi….I’m Gill
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and I love bringing that festive magic into my photography. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the joy and excitement on the faces of families as they walk into the studio for their Christmas Mini Sessions. Being able to capture these heartfelt moments and create lasting memories for families is truly special to me, and I can’t wait to share that joy with you this Christmas season!

We love our Christmas Sessions with Gill. It’s such a lovely experience for the kids, and Gill makes everyone so relaxed, which means beautiful natural photos. I loved our photos so much that I purchased the whole gallery. Thanks so much for everything Gill!

Gill was an absolute angel and so patient photographing my children (ages 1 and 3) and dogs for our Christmas Mini. Such a lovely kind woman she breezed through the chaos and made us feel very welcome then gifted my little ones plush Christmas toys. We will come back every year! Thanks Gill.

FAQs
-
There will be a selection of headgear (santa hats & antlers etc) for you to use during your session but you are more than welcome to bring your own too. Your children are welcome to bring a letter for Santa. Even if you are not having photos with Santa, your children can place their letters in Santa’s mailbox on arriving or departing.
-
Choose outfits that will go with the backdrop you've selected. Please avoid clashing patterns & anything with large logos. Christmas shirts and/or shorts are fine as long as they are not too busy as that can detract from the people in the photograph. If you do wish to coordinate your outfits, it is always good to pick three coordinating colours that go well together and one of those colours being a neutral colour.
-
It is your choice if you want your family to wear shoes or not. If you do opt for shoes, please make sure that they are clean underneath as fixing up visibly dirty soles of shoes will not be part of the editing process.
-
As it is a 20-30 minute session unfortunately there will not be time for any outfit changes.
-
Please make sure your family is ready to be photographed upon arrival ie: hair done, faces cleaned & noses wiped (editing runny noses takes forever!)
Remember to remove all hair ties and/or kids watches before the shoot to ensure no marks are there.
Arrive 5 mins before your session!
-
Sessions cannot be refunded but can be transferred to a friend or family member. Reschedules will only be possible if there are any open spots still available.
-
Yes dogs can be included but they must be brought in on a lead & kept under control at all times. Pls make a note on your Questionnaire at time of booking that you will be bringing your dog.
-
Photos will be uploaded to your Online Gallery 1-2 weeks after your session.
