What are mini sessions & why are they so good?!

Colour me intrigued

Here’s the thing, family photography has had a bit of a bad rap over the years thanks to those awkward, forced, staged family photos that sit pride of place upon Granny’s mantlepiece, staring eerily back at you. But I’m here to show you that getting your family photos taken can be a whole lot of fun for everyone involved!

Some of my most favourite family photos over the years have come from my seasonal ‘mini sessions’ which last 15 minutes tops.

AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS

One Size Won’t Fit All

Whether you want me present at the birth of your baby, a cosy newborn session at home, your toddler to run wild through the forest, a walk along the beach with your growing family, or Grandparents want in on the action, I got you covered.

As A Fellow Mum…

Your family doesn’t need to ‘perform’ for me. I love it when you feel free to show up just as you are. Bring on the muddy knees, sticky fingers, nap-time bedhead, clashing patterns and energy to burn.

Don’t Make Excuses

Hate being in front of the camera? Concerned about double chins? Family life goes way deeper than those kinda things and these photos are for you to enjoy, no one else.

You Know You Want To

Giving people photos from a season in their lives fills me with the best kind of joy. You’ll never regret having these kinds of memories hanging on your walls for years to come.

Kind Words

Christine has taken some of the most precious photographs of our family with our newborn sons that we will treasure forever! Christine is so friendly, chatty and laid back. She immediately puts you at ease, dispelling any pre shoot nerves or awkwardness you may be feeling. She is fantastic with children and had my shy little boy giggling away within minutes.

Christine made it so easy particularly when both shoots also involved my 2 year old daughter. She managed to get Ivy to smile and interact with the camera just right! She put me at ease as posing wouldn’t be my forte and it didn’t feel at all awkward. I wasn’t sure with a baby crying and toddler running around just how the photos would turn out but oh my, I did not need to worry- they are incredible! They capture my little family so perfectly and now I have the most precious moments captured forever. They make me smile so much. They turned out just beautiful!

– Amy, Ivy & Micah

Navyblur were amazing with the worry of a young 3 year old child who does not always listen to instructions Christine made Sofia my daughter feel so at ease and immediately took to Christine!!! (Still talks of Christine when she plays with the wee present she was so kindly gifted at the shoot!)This made the experience so fun and relaxing. We have never taken the time out to have a family shoot and honestly for anyone thinking about it take that step to do it the photos from navyblur are so memorable, natural and beautiful finished!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

can WE GET THE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS?

Most of my sessions come with digital downloads included in the price, send me a message and I can send you the full pricing information.

How would you describe your style?

Fun, colourful and full of joy! I’m much more concerned about kids having a good time and capturing multiple moments than getting that ‘picture perfect’ shot.

When do your mini sessions happen?

Typically my sessions happen seasonally and during school holidays, the most popular one being Autumn half-term. Keep an eye on socials for upcoming dates.

What should we wear and do we have to match?

If you’d like to match, go for it! But honestly, the best advice is to wear what you like and what you feel most comfortable in. Whether that’s dressed to the nines or in your sweats, I’m there for it!

Does my house have to be tidy for a session at home?

If it doesn’t matter to you, it doesn’t matter to me. I care more about the connection and sweet moments between you than that pesky lost sock on your bedroom floor.

Do you do pregnancy sessions of birth photography?

Yes to both! I can capture you and your growing bump in a relaxed setting. Birth Photography is something I offer, it just takes starting the conversation to see what this might look like for you.
