SUITABLE FOR AGES 3-12
Available JAN - MARCH 2026 THEMES
[ Limited spaces available ]
01 - THE EARTH WANTS TO MEET YOU
This session is designed to feel warm, natural, and timeless — drawing from an autumn palette of soft browns, clay, oat, moss, rust, and muted amber. Think fallen leaves underfoot, textured fabrics, gentle light, and portraits that feel both calm and expressive.
Children are encouraged to move, explore, and simply be themselves. The focus is not on posing, but on capturing personality — thoughtful moments, subtle smiles, wandering hands, and curious expressions. Every image feels organic, unforced, and rooted in the season.

Neutral, earthy tones only (no logos, no bright colours)

The Result
Portraits that feel grounded and emotive.
Images that could live on a wall for years — not tied to trends, but to a feeling. A quiet celebration of childhood, captured in natural light.
03 - CUT-OUT
This session invites children to step into the frame — peeking through shapes, holding props, and becoming part of the artwork. Think bold yet simple cut-outs: stars, arches, animals, sunglasses, crowns, rainbows, or abstract forms.
The result is playful, graphic, and full of personality. Children are encouraged to interact freely — popping their heads through, hiding, laughing, pulling faces, or striking their own pose. The mood is light, expressive, and fun, while still remaining clean and considered.
Styling & Feel
-
Simple outfits to balance the props
-
Neutral or soft colour palettes with one pop colour

The Result
Images that celebrate imagination and confidence.
A fresh, playful take on children’s portraiture — designed to make kids (and parents) smile. Bold. Creative. Authentic.
02 - SOMETHING BORROWED
This studio experience centres around children wearing one oversized piece from their parent or loved ones wardrobe — a blazer that drapes past their hands, a coat too long for their frame, a shirt worn as a dress. The scale creates contrast, humour, and quiet emotion.
Set in a clean, minimal studio, the focus is on proportion, posture, and expression. Children are invited to move naturally — sleeves pushed up, collars held, coats wrapped close. The result is both playful and deeply sentimental.
Styling & Feel
-
Two oversized adult garment only
-
Neutral or classic timeless tones preferred
-
Bare feet or simple shoes
-
No additional props — let the garment tell the story
-
In studio
The Result
Portraits that feel nostalgic and editorial.
