Halloween Mini Photo Shoots – October 23-25 2026

The carnival is in town. But something isn’t quite right.

Welcome to CarnEvil. A dark, twisted fairground has taken over the studio this Halloween, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Rotton Candy, the Kissing Booth, Grinning Jim popping out of his box. Every corner hides something strange, and every photo tells a story your family will not forget.

This is Halloween done properly.

What is CarnEvil?

CarnEvil is a Halloween mini photo shoot experience at my studio in Crawley Down, West Sussex. The set is fully built and lit, and your session is relaxed and unhurried. You don’t need to bring costumes, props, or any ideas at all. Just turn up and let the carnival do its thing.

Sessions run over the weekend of 23rd, 24th and 25th October 2026.

Who is it for?

CarnEvil is suitable for children from the age they can sit independently, right up to as old as they dare. Sessions can include up to two children. The set is genuinely atmospheric, so it works best for children who enjoy a little spooky fun rather than very young babies or children who are sensitive to scary imagery. If you’re not sure, feel free to drop me a message.

Add the Pumpkin Arch

If CarnEvil feels a little too much for the little ones, or you simply want something warmer alongside it, you can add the Pumpkin Arch set to your visit. This is a completely different side of the studio: rich autumnal colours, a dried floral arch, pumpkins and fallen leaves. Calm, warm, and perfect for portraits that will look beautiful on your wall.

The Pumpkin Arch can include up to two adults and two small children.

Terms & Conditions

Yes I know, it’s a bit boring but all these things have terms and conditions that apply.  I try to keep them to a minimum but you need to be aware of the following points…

  • These are mini sessions so they are short and sweet and booked on the half hour, taking about 10 minutes each.
  • The sessions take place in my Halloween themed set and are suitable just for up to two children from a single family.  Sharing sessions between families isn’t allowed although if you’d like children photographed together then do get in touch, we might be able to book back to back sessions and arrange a crossover in between.
  • Please come as close to your appointment time as possible although I know it can be hard to be exact. If you are going to be late to your session, please let me know so we can make sure that that you will have enough time in the studio to get a perfect set of pictures.  If you are early, I might well still be in the studio with another family.  If I am not on the drive to greet you when you arrive, please wait in your car and I will be with you as soon as I can.
  • The studio is a short walk from where you park your car along paths with several shallow steps. For this reason, unfortunately, the studio is not wheelchair accessible.
  • My studio is small but perfectly formed and as such I don’t have a very big waiting area.  Other people who are not involved in photos are likely to be very bored as there is nothing for them to do and nowhere terribly comfortable for them to sit, so I’d definitely recommend not bringing along extra people.
  • We don’t allow any videography or photography inside the studio, apart from mine obviously. If caught recording or photographing the session, you will be asked to leave and the session will be terminated without refund.  All in all, that’s a horrible situation for us all to be in so please respect my copyright.
  • The session fee is non-refundable.  If someone in your party is ill or you can’t make your appointment for any other reason (and of course these things can happen), and you give me notice of this fact, then you will be invited to re-book at the either at another available slot during the event or, if that’s not possible, at the next event session.  If you simply don’t attend your session without any notice, unfortunately you will not be able to re-book at the next session without repaying your session fee.
