Frequently Asked Questions
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Info on preparing for your session, what to wear, arrival times and what to expect
What should we wear?
First and foremost — come as yourself! The most meaningful portraits are usually the ones where everyone feels comfortable, and genuinely themselves.
If you’d like a little guidance though, neutral, earthy and soft tones tend to photograph beautifully in the studio. Simple textures and timeless clothing styles work especially well, while large logos and a lot of text can be hard to read and distracting in images.
Where will my session be held?
All Little Portrait Club sessions take place in my purpose-built home studio at: 58 McCaw rd, Lincoln — a calm, light-filled space designed especially for little ones and growing families.
What if we’re running late?
While we ask that families try their best to arrive within their selected 15-minute arrival window we completely understand that life with little ones can sometimes be unpredictable, and there is a little flexibility built into the flow where possible — so please do still come along if you’re running late.
Little Portrait Club sessions are designed to run gently and naturally, with families arriving and finishing within the same short window of time, so arriving as close to your selected arrival window as possible really helps the day flow smoothly for everyone.
You may arrive to find another family finishing up, or another little one waiting nearby — this is all part of the friendly, social LPC experience.
Can adults join the sessions?
Absolutely! Our Parenthood and Family Collections are designed specifically for parent, grandparent and family portraits.
Classic Little Portrait Club sessions are generally child-focused portraits.
DURING YOUR SESSION
How Little Portrait Club sessions work, what happens during your portraits, and how we work with little ones.
What if my child is shy, grumpy or doesn’t cooperate?
Please don’t stress. We’re experts at getting the best out of all types of little personalities — from the wildly energetic to the extra cautious and slow-to-warm-up.
Rather than expecting children to sit perfectly still and smile at the camera, sessions are guided through gentle prompts, games and natural interaction designed to help little ones feel playful, and comfortable.
There’s always time and space allowed for shy children to warm up gradually, have another try, or simply watch others have a turn first — which can often be especially helpful for little ones who need a little extra reassurance.
Can we bring snacks, comfort toys or dummies?
Of course. Favourite comfort items, snacks and dummies are always welcome if they help little ones feel happy and settled during their portraits. We’re not above a bit of bribery either for little ones who could do with a bit of encouragement to participate. Just think mess-free and easy to eat, or something they can enjoy after they finish up with their photos.
How long do sessions take?
The Little Portrait Club is intentionally designed around short portrait experiences that work beautifully for babies and young children with limited attention spans.
Most portraits themselves are created within just a few minutes, helping keep little ones engaged while still creating a beautiful mini gallery full of connection and variety.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Information about galleries, image selections, extra photos and photo credits
How many images will we receive?
Most galleries contain approximately 4–8 beautifully edited images to choose from This may be more or less depending on the type of session booked, and whether you’ve booked any add-on extra poses or extra people.
Each session includes 1-2 favourite images depending on your booking type, with the option to purchase additional favourites or upgrade to the full gallery collection for a very reasonable flat fee.
When will our gallery be ready?
Galleries are typically delivered (via email) within 2-5 days of your session via private password protected gallery link.
During especially busy seasonal periods, this can occasionally take a little longer, up to 7 days, but we always aim to deliver portraits as quickly as possible.
Can we purchase extra images?
Absolutely! Once your gallery is delivered you’ll be ablel to download the images included with your session, and have the option to purchase additional favourite images individually, or upgrade to your full gallery collection for a very reasonable flat fee.
Can I use my pre-purchased photo credits?
Yes of course! If you have pre-purchased photo credits with me in the past and you’d like to use them, simply get in touch before selecting your images and these can be loaded to your account for you.

Are these sessions suitable for extended families?
