Derby Mini Photography Sessions

Looking for beautiful family photographs without the full photoshoot commitment? My mini sessions are a relaxed, 30-minute taster of my photography style, perfect if you want to dip your toe in before booking a full session!

What is a Mini Session?

A Mini Session is a short, 30-minute photoshoot either outdoors or in your home (within 30 minutes of Willington, Derby). Unlike a full session, which gives you a wide range of images, the mini is all about capturing a handful of honest, natural moments that reflect your family just as you are.

Think of it as a little snapshot of your world: baking a cake together, reading stories, running around at the park, or simply cuddled up on the sofa.

What You Get

  • 30 minutes of relaxed photography

  • 5 edited digital images, handpicked to capture the best of your session

  • £100 all-inclusive price

Optional: If you love more than 5 images, you’ll have the option to upgrade after the session.

How Mini Sessions Differ from Full Sessions

It’s important to know that Mini Sessions are not a scaled-down version of a full session, they’re designed to be something different.

  • Shorter timeframe: 30 minutes, compared to 1–2 hours for a full session

  • Fewer images: 5 hand-edited photos included (a full session includes 40+)

  • Photographer’s choice: I’ll pick the best images so you can simply enjoy them, no need to scroll through dozens of similar photos

  • Lower investment: £100 instead of £350

A Mini Session is perfect for testing out my approach and seeing if a full session might be right for your family in future.

Why Let Me Choose the Images?

Here’s the thing: my style is about capturing fleeting, genuine moments. That means you’ll get a lot of in-between photos, but not all of them are portfolio-worthy. By letting me choose, you get the strongest images without the overwhelm of decision-making.

With Mini Sessions, I handpick the images for you. Editing a full gallery takes a lot of time, and because Minis are designed to stay affordable, I keep the process simple. By choosing the best moments myself, I can give you a beautiful set of photos without the extra cost of a full session.

If you do decide you would really like to see the full gallery then I can edit them for an additional cost of £35. You can then decide whether to purchase additional images or not.

Who Mini Sessions Are For

Mini Sessions are perfect if:

  • You’d love some family photos but don’t want the full £350 investment yet

  • You want a thoughtful gift idea (they make great presents!)

  • You’d like updated photos of the kids as they grow

  • You’re curious about my style before booking a full session

Who Mini Sessions Aren’t For

If you want:

  • A big variety of group shots, individuals, and details

  • A long, relaxed pace with time to settle in

  • All edited images included

  • Multiple locations (i.e home and a park)

…then a full session might be a better fit.

Investment

Mini Sessions are £100 and include 5 edited digital photographs.
