2026 mini sessions are all sold out! Thank you so much to everyone who’s booked.

Missed this year’s Christmas mini sessions?

You can sign up to my mailing list for advance notice of next year’s sessions — and, if I add any extra dates this year, you’ll hear about those too.

I promise I won’t fill your inbox. I only email occasionally, with Christmas mini sessions and the occasional special offer or update. My mailing list always gets the first chance to hear about new dates, so you can get ahead of the rush and have the best chance of booking these popular sell-out sessions.

Join the list and be first to know.

Here’s some info on how the Xmas mini sessions work, so you know for next year…

These are short, fun 20-minute photoshoots around one of my favourite parts of London at Christmas, with the lights, decorations and festive atmosphere providing the backdrop. I’ll guide you through the session so we can create a lovely variety of photographs of your family — not just one quick Christmas-card shot — and because the sessions are so short, they’re easy to fit around a day out in London.

There are only a limited number of sessions available, and with no studio Christmas sessions this year, these Covent Garden dates are your only opportunity to book a Rocking Horse Photography Christmas mini. If you'd like Christmas photographs you'll actually want to keep, print and share for next year, join the mailing list, now.

FAQs

  • Mini sessions are designed for one family of up to two adults, and up to three children. For larger families, please contact me directly. 

    We usually capture images of your child(ren) with and without the adults (age dependent). 

    Be mindful that very young babies will need to be wrapped up warm enough for the season and so I suggest outdoors sessions are best for 4 months and older, but it is up to you :-)

  • Mini sessions last 20 mins. This is plenty of time to get various images around a few different spots at Covent Garden, so you have variety in your end gallery.

    Because mini sessions are short and other families are booked beforehand and afterwards, it is vitally important that you arrive just on time for your session. 

  • In the 20 min session I am shooting for around 8-10 different images across a variety of combinations of the family.

    If you have been to me on previous occasions, you'll know that I don't skimp on the images, and if you have more than 8-10 great photos taken in your session I will edit and show you more of these. 

    How many images you choose to purchase is then totally up to you. Your booking fee includes one digital image of your choice, via download link.

  • Each 20 min session is £95 - this includes one edited image of your choice as a digital download. 

    You will be sent a link to a watermarked online gallery around 10 working days after your session. From your gallery, you can see all your edited images (watermarked).

    If you would like further images, these can be purchased via your online gallery at £25 per image, OR you can purchase ALL the images for just an additional £135.

  • The Xmas mini sessions take place around Covent Garden. An exact meeting point is sent to you with your booking confirmation.

  • It is worth planning to arrive a few mins before your session start time, so you have time to straighten clothing, put phones and bags away, wipe faces etc before we start. As sessions are booked back to back, unfortunately I will not be able to extend sessions if we start late.  

    I always recommend choosing your session for a time when your child(ren) will be well-rested and full, so they are at their happiest and you don't then need to spend time feeding them etc during the session time.

  • Surprisingly, cloudy weather is the best weather for photography. If there is a little drizzle, this won't impact our session, and if we are lucky we may even get snow! But clearly, if it is pouring with rain we will need to reschedule. 

    In all circumstances, if I need to cancel your session as a consequence of bad weather (or illness) I will contact you to re-arrange your session for a mutually convenient date / to offer you your session fee towards a standard session / or refund you 100% of the session booking fee. The choice, of course, is yours. 

  • After your session, I review all the images captured and pick around 8-10 of the best and most varied images, to edit. This process takes me about 10 working days to complete and I then send you details of how to view your watermarked images in an online gallery. At this point, you have one week in which to pick your inclusive image for download, and any other images you would like to purchase. For those booking the early Dec slots, I try to expedite the editing process as much as possible as I know families want to get their Christmas cards printed quickly.

  • You will receive high resolution, edited jpegs of your purchased images, without any watermark. These files are plenty big enough to use for normal purposes and even to print large wall art from. You are free to use your images on your social media accounts, to send friends and family, for printing Christmas greeting cards and thank you cards etc. If you wish to use your images for commercial purposes, please get in touch to discuss.
