Christmas Mini Season in Hastings Begins!

It feels like summer blinked by, and suddenly here we are, diving straight from autumn into Christmas! With Halloween barely over, the studio is nearly fully transformed, ready for Christmas minis starting next Sunday, 3rd November. I recently did a trial session for the pop-ups, and I’m so thrilled with how the images turned out—they truly capture the warm, festive magic I want for every family. Neutral and aesthetic all the way (teasers at the bottom of this page).

As this season marks a full year since I took the leap into photography full-time, I can’t express how much it means to me to be able to share this journey with you all. Each session, whether it’s for babies, children, whole families, maternity or branding, they fill me with so much joy, and I’m endlessly grateful to you all in my community for all your support and trust. Capturing everything from newborns to family branding sessions in Hastings and East Sussex has been an honor, and I’m looking forward to creating even more beautiful memories this season!
