Book Your Halloween Mini Session
It’s time to grab your spot for my Halloween Event Weekend – 17th–19th October 2025. Choose from The Pumpkin Forest or The Witches’ Café (or book both if you’re feeling extra spooky!) and create magical seasonal portraits you’ll treasure.
Absolutely! If you like the idea of getting some cosy autumn photos with plenty of pumpkins, forest vibes and friendly creatures to meet, but also getting a bit more spooky in the Witches’ Cafe, then you can book to visit both sets while you’re at the studio. A visit to a single set costs £35 and it is £50 to visit both (those prices both include your edited images at print quality). If you’re visiting both sets, you’ll get an extended session time so you have time for an outfit change in between.
At the end of the day, you know your child best and I’d definitely recommend taking a good look at all of the images before booking to see if it would be something that they would find fun. All the props are designed to be on the cute side of spooky (unless you ask for the scarier set) but there is a definitely spooky side with spider sandwiches and skull cupcakes. The good news is that you can still capture all those autumn memories by taking a trip to the Pumpkin Forest instead – guaranteed scare free with lots of pumpkins and friendly woodland creatures.
A lot of my clients have been coming along to my Halloween photo shoots for a lot of years now and they’re getting to an age where they don’t want spooky and cute so much any more. So when I designed the Witches’ Cafe, I made a second set of props to change the narrative a little bit from the cupcakes to a bit of a darker Sweeney Todd vibe. There’s only one rule. Never ask what is in the pies.
Whether you’ll need to attend a viewing session to see your photos after a Halloween photo shoot is a very common question I get asked. I totally understand it as this is what most photographers do and at the viewing session, there are quite often a range of sales tactics used to encourage you to spend more money. Whilst I fully support you spending more money, it would be impossible to do with my mini sessions as your session fee already includes all your images at print quality! So there’s no viewing session for you to attend with this (or any of my other photography sessions as it goes) – you’ll simply receive a link to your private online gallery a few days after your session. Your images will be waiting for you there to download, print and and enjoy.
When you book for a Halloween photo shoot at my studio, you’ll have the choice to either visit the Pumpkin Forest or the Witches’ Cafe for £35 which includes your time in the set, use of all the props and as much magic and spook as I can dream up for you. It also includes all of your edited image gallery to download at print quality. If you’d like to visit both sets while you’re with me, you can do that for £50 – you’ll get an extended session time to allow for an outfit change between the two and all of your images are still included.
My Halloween mini photo shoot event is happening from October 17-19 2025 and there will be two worlds you can visit to get into the Halloween and Autumn spirit. There will be the Witches’ Café is and the Pumpkin Forest. Sessions includes all of your edited digital images and cost £35 for one set or £50 to visit both worlds while you’re in the studio.
After you’ve been to visit for yourHalloween photos, you’ll receive a beautifully edited private online gallery within 3 business days. With these mini photo shoots, all your images are included so you will be able to download them direct to your device and print or share them as you’d like to.
My cosy photography studio is based in the heart of West Sussex, in East Grinstead. I’m easy to reach from nearby towns including Crawley, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Tunbridge Wells, and Crowborough, as well as the surrounding villages. With plenty of parking and good transport links, it’s a relaxed, convenient spot for families travelling from across the county and beyond. For exact directions, click here for the Google Maps Reference.
As with all of my photo shoots, you can book your session online by either clicking the button on the screen or following the links on the website. Just enter your details to reserve your session and it will be confirmed when you send over your payment (there will be a link to do this in the confirmation email). The calendar opens 1st September—dates sell fast!
A visit to the Halloween event is a mini session booked for half an hour but generally you’ll be taking photos for about ten to fifteen minutes. If you’re visiting both the Pumpkin Forest and the Witches’ Cafe, you’ll get a longer session so you’ll have time for an outfit change in between!
That’s OK! I work at a relaxed pace, and we can capture plenty of sweet moments, smiles or not. There are plenty of fun things to look at and even a friendly fox to keep them happy and distracted.
Absolutely! Well-behaved dogs are welcome and look adorable in the Pumpkin Forest or in the Witches Cafe — just let me know beforehand. Costumes not obligatory but always welcome!
These sessions are suitable for up to two children from an age at which they can sit up by themselves. Fur babies are also always welcome! Costumes are optional of course but always encouraged!
I kindly ask that you don’t take photos or videos during your session. Your booking includes my time, skill and copyright, and recording in the studio can interrupt the flow of your shoot. If anyone is seen filming or photographing, the session will need to be stopped and will end without refund – and that’s not a situation any of us want to be in. Please relax, enjoy the experience, and let me take care of creating the images for you.
