Christmas Kitchen
Step into my Christmas Kitchen – where gingerbread men keep watch, flour and sugar are ready on the counter, and the smell of festive baking seems to linger in the air. This set is full of colour, character, and fun, perfect for little ones to play chef or for families who want to create a culinary Christmas portrait.
Styled with candy canes, a gingerbread mansion, cakes, and pops of red and green, it’s a vibrant backdrop that feels straight out of a storybook – the Christmas Kitchen is ready to serve up memories you’ll treasure.
What to Wear & Prepare
The Christmas Kitchen is colourful, playful, and full of festive detail so choosing outfits that complement the set will make your photos shine.
Festive colours: Reds, greens, creams, and warm neutrals work beautifully against the gingerbread tones and bright accents.
Christmas jumpers or pyjamas: Cosy knits or matching PJs look perfect for children in this set — it really leans into the festive fun.
Simple patterns: Stripes or subtle checks are fine, but try to avoid anything too bold or logo-heavy so the focus stays on your family.
Accessories: Santa hats, hair bows, or even bring along a favourite apron if your little one wants to look like a star baker!
Keep it comfortable: This set works best when children can move, sit, and play — comfy clothes mean happy smiles. The most important thing is that your outfits feel like you – whether that’s coordinated family knits or children in their favourite Christmas pyjamas.
Arrive at your appointment start time – you don’t need to get here early, we’ll still have plenty of time to start relaxed and not rushing.
Where do the Photo Shoots Take Place?

If you’ve got questions, the section below might give you the answers that you need. If not, then just get in touch and I’m always happy to help.
Sessions run back to back throughout the event days so timing is quite important. Arrive at your appointment time (or as close as you can to it) – there’s no need to arrive early as, if you do, I’m likely to be in the studio with another client. I ask that you wait in your car when you arrive and I’ll be down to greet you as soon as I can.
Yes – the studio sets are styled and ready for you, but clothing is down to you. Many families love to wear festive jumpers, pyjamas, or party outfits. Just bring whatever feels like your Christmas.
If you can’t make your session, please let me know as soon as possible. I’ll always do my best to reschedule you if there are spaces left, but as these sessions are very popular, I can’t always guarantee it.
Yes, if you’d like to! A quick outfit change or bringing along something personal (a favourite toy, a Christmas storybook, or a family heirloom decoration) can make your photographs feel even more special

When you book for a Christmas photo shoot at my studio, you’ll have access to all my sets, use of all the props and as much magic and sparkle as I can dream up for you. The session fee is £35 and this includes your favourite digital image to download, print and share as much as you’d like to. You can order extra images from your online image gallery – it’s £15 for a single additional image or £50 to download everything.
Whether you’ll need to attend a viewing session to see your photos after a Christmas 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, your session fee already includes one digital image. You simply select the one that you’d like from your private online gallery when you receive the code a few days after your session. If you’d like to order more, you do it online from there – it’s £15 for a single extra digital image or £50 to download and love everything in your gallery.
Absolutely! You have access to all three sets included in your session fee (as well as your free image) and also the chance to make a gingerbread house digital image if you’d like to.
One of the most common questions I’m asked about these sessions is how long does it take to see my Christmas photos after I’ve visited?
I realise that, when you come to the studio for your festive photo shoot, you’ll be looking to do something with your images in time for the big day – make cards, create gifts, share and love them. So the turnaround for images from your Christmas photo shoot is very quick and you should receive your fully edited gallery to make your selections from within three days. With these photo shoots, you have one image included and there will be instructions in your gallery email on how to let me know the one you’d like. You’ll also be able to order any additional images that you want directly from your gallery – it’s £15 for a single image or £50 if you simply can’t choose and want to download them all.
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.
