Preparing for your Family Photography Session
We hope you will enjoy your family photography session at the Memory Gate Studio. As your family grows so does your children’s character. We easily forget how quickly this happens and how fast time passes when we’re busy getting on with our lives. Photography is all about capturing a moment in time that will never be repeated. It’s more than just a snapshot on our phone. Photographs of our family should be a momento we keep long after they’ve grown up and had children of their own.
Our job as photographers is not only to give you a great experience but to give you something you can actually treasure forever.

Who to bring with you
A few extra suggestions to help you get the most out of your session:
- Be prepared for Mum and/or Dad to take part in some of the shots….after all…when was the last time you had an amazing family portrait taken all together?
- Talk about any particular ideas or images you would like us to capture and we will accommodate these wherever possible in order to make your session personal to you.
- Think about any personal items, eg. a favourite toy that you would like to include.
- Kids love to dress up so feel free to bring along any princess outfits or football kits!
2. YOUR PHOTO SESSION
We allow an hour for each session and it’s generally cut into three parts. We begin your photo session with a mini portrait shoot before we get all messy! This is a great chance to get some lovely milestone portraits of your baby. Then we bring on the cake and it’s time for your baby to explore all the textures and tastes that sit before them. After the cake smash photos we’ll clean up with some bubble bath photos to finish off.
