Portrait Mini Sessions for Kids

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BOOKING!

Here's everything you need to know

THE VENUE

The Rebecca Holmes Photography Studio is part of The Light Room. The address is Edinburgh Road, Linlithgow, EH49 6AB. If you put 'The Light Room Linlithgow' into your sat nav, it'll get you right there. 

There is ample parking on site.

WHO THESE SESSIONS ARE FOR

These sessions are strictly for children and their siblings (that is, those that are part of the same household). They are for children who can sit unaided, they're not designed for babies. These sessions are not for adults or family groups. 

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR KIDS

Other than getting them nicely dressed, and wiping their faces clean - please DON'T prepare them. Practised smiles are forced smiles! Rebecca has LOTS of tricks to get your kids to produce a natural, relaxed, having-fun kind of smile. 

Please remember that for these sessions we can only photograph children who are able to sit unaided.  Please get in touch if this is a problem. 

What to wear

Children should attend wearing smart casual clothes or school uniform.

We suggest avoiding logos, fluorescent colours, bright patterns and typefaces for the best photographs. 

How it will work

On arrival, you will be asked to wait until it is your turn. Please make sure your children wait with you, as we have a lot of equipment they could damage if they run around. 

When ready, Rebecca will call your children up into the studio area. Unless specifically requested by Rebecca, we ask that parents and carers remain in the waiting area. 

Rebecca will capture photographs of each individual child, and each sibling group. 

Once finished, you will exit with your children..

Frequently Asked Questions

We will present you with a minimum of three photographs per child, and two photographs per sibling group. 
In order to keep mini session photography prices low, we only perform a very basic level of editing across all images. We can provide a greater level of editing but would need to charge for our time. 
We do our very best to ensure each child looks as clean and tidy as possible before they have their photograph taken – but ultimately they are the masters of their own appearance!
No, sorry. In order to keep prices low our ordering system is entirely automated. The packages and products that are available are all we can offer. 
Yes! This was key for us after years of frustrating package buying. You can create packages with mixed photos of a child. 
You will receive an email when your child's photos are ready to view and purchase if you wish. That email contains a link to a video that steps through the ordering process in detail. Still stuck? Get in touch with us. 
No sorry, we usually only have time for individual and sibling (residing in the same household) photographs. 
No, we haven't. Mini portrait photos are taken using special techniques to ensure colour accuracy. Every photo is edited in exactly the same way. This cuts down on time, which enables us to keep prices affordable.
