2026 Sessions
This year, I am running these sessions to order at a date that suits you – so grab a voucher, for a session to take place by the end of May. The location is HP15
Vouchers are sent by email – or if you’d like a physical voucher, you can select delivery at checkout.
If you’re buying this last minute, I can hand deliver within 5 miles of HP15 before Mother’s Day
What is a Mother’s Day Mini Photo Shoot?
These are quick and fun 15-20 minute sessions which will capture a selection of classic portraits.
Classic, timeless and treasured!
The session fee includes one matted print ready to pop into a frame, and the matching digital file.
You’ll get a choice of at least 10 images in an online gallery. I love these in black and white, but you’ll get colour options too.
If you can’t decide on just one, you’ll have the option to purchase more – or even all of them!
Full disclosure – a lot of people do this…
The price includes a 10×8 matted print, which is a 5×7.5in print mounted on card, ready to pop in a frame. You can upgrade this to a bigger size later, if you like.
Is a Mother’s Day Mini Photo Shoot with you Right for Me?
These are for people who love simple, connected images with a natural style.
These sessions are quick, so what we get will depend a lot on your child! If they are quick to warm up, and chatty, we will get lots of smiling ones.
If they are a little shy, usually 15 minutes (or a bribe) is enough to get a little bit of a smile from even the most timid! This little one here started shy but we got lots of smiles by the end.
I actually think I love this one more though.
I want to give you – and almost more so, your kids – this beautiful record of your motherhood…
When and Where?
You can use your voucher at a mutually convenient time between now and the end of May.
The location this year is in my own home in HP15. I have a small space that is perfect for creating these intimate portraits. As it is a small space, this won’t work for a group shot – so one or two kids only.
You’ll get a cup of tea and a warm welcome. And your kids will be relaxed in a home environment!
What Should we Wear for our Mother's Day Mini Shoot?
Because these are shot on a black background, you should ideally avoid wearing black. Big patterns and stripes can distract from your face, but subtle stripes and small florals and patterns look great. If you’re bringing the kids straight from school, ideally bring a change for the top half at least as a uniform is not ideal!
Cosy knits, lace and textures are also fab for a natural look. If you like black and white for your print, the colours don’t matter so much. But if you like your photographs in colour, don’t go for anything too bright – muted colours tend to look better and are kinder to your skin! Don’t wear exactly the same colour as your child, but do choose colours that look nice together.
Ideally, do avoid big logos and football gear for the kids – it can take away from that timeless look. But you – and they – need to be comfortable and happy – so really this is just a guide, you should wear what you like!
There will be a mirror there, do make sure faces are clean and hair is the way you want it to look!
What if I have more than one child?
These images work best as an intimate portrait with a single child, so that we can show the connection. I can of course photograph you with more than one child if you prefer. However the space is small so speak to me if you do have more than one so I can work out if it will work, based on their sizes!
Additional prints are priced at £29 each when purchased separately.
Can I cancel?
Vouchers are non-refundable but once booked, if you give me enough notice you can reschedule.
When will I get my print?
The prints will be delivered to you about a week after you order via the online gallery.
How long does it take?
The session fee covers your 15-20 minute shoot, and it includes one matted print of your choice, ready to pop into a frame.
How much if I want more photos?
Often, when I do these minis, people can’t just choose one photo! (Sorry! They are kinda beautiful!)
Additional matted prints are £29 (with a matching digital)
Or, you can opt to buy packages of extra digitals afterwards, prices range from £16 each to £199 for all of them
This is me – Yvonne Phillips
If you are local, you may already know me!
But if not, then here’s my face! I’m a warm and friendly person and great at putting people at ease. I grew up in Ireland but I’ve been living in the UK since I was 21. So I’ve got a funny mixed up accent.
Mini sessions are quick, but as they are in my own home this year, there will be time for a cuppa if you like, or if your kids need time to relax in a new space.
I have two kids so you don’t need to worry about how yours will behave – believe me, I will have seen worse. We only need them to sit still for a few minutes to make a beautiful picture, and I will have bribe lollies at hand.
