Expressions Photography Sessions

Simple. Natural. Beautiful.

Children grow and change so quickly — every new expression is a memory worth keeping. Our Expressions sessions are designed to capture the joy, personality, and character of your little one in timeless black-and-white portraits you’ll treasure forever.


Who Expressions is for

Expressions sessions are perfect for children from around 8 months (sitting unaided) up to 5 years old.

Whether it’s a cheeky grin, a shy smile, or that mischievous sparkle in their eye, these sessions focus purely on your child’s natural expressions.


Style & Look

Simplicity is key. Expressions portraits are created in a minimal, black-and-white style, often photographed with bare shoulders to keep the focus entirely on your child’s face.

If you’d prefer your child to wear a simple top, that’s absolutely fine. We just recommend avoiding bold patterns, bright logos, or busy prints so their personality shines through.


What’s included

Right now, you can enjoy an Expressions session for just ÂŁ20 (usually from ÂŁ100).

Your booking includes:

  • A 45-minute photography session in our Chester-le-Street studio

  • A beautifully framed 8” desktop portrait (worth ÂŁ85)

  • A private cinematic viewing appointment to see your child’s portraits and choose your favourites

There’s no obligation to purchase more than your included portrait, though many families fall in love with the images and choose to invest in additional wall art, prints, or digital collections.


How it works

Step 1: Book your session
Secure your Expressions session by paying the ÂŁ20 booking fee online.

Step 2: Your photoshoot
Come along to our studio for your 45-minute session. We’ll create a relaxed atmosphere and gently encourage natural smiles, laughs, and a range of expressions.

Step 3: Viewing appointment
Within two weeks, return for your cinematic viewing. This is where you’ll see all your edited portraits and decide which ones you’d like as prints, wall art, or digital images.

Step 4: Collect your artwork
Your chosen portraits are carefully produced to the highest standard. Prints and products are usually ready within a few weeks.


Common questions

What if my child is shy or doesn’t want to sit still?
That’s no problem — we work at your child’s pace. With years of experience photographing children, we know how to capture natural moments even when little ones are restless.

Can siblings be photographed together?
Expressions sessions are designed for one child at a time. If you’d like portraits of siblings together, please let us know and we’ll advise on the best option for you.

What happens if my child is unwell?
If your child is poorly on the day, simply get in touch. We’ll do our best to reschedule your session, subject to availability.

Do I have to buy anything beyond the framed portrait?
No — your £20 booking fee covers the session and your framed 7″ portrait. Many families do choose to purchase additional images or products, but there’s absolutely no pressure.
