Short, joyful family sessions in Leeds — perfect for little ones and furry friends.

MY APPROACH TO MINI Portrait Sessions

Natural, honest, storytelling.

Couple embrace during Maternity Portrait Session

LESS POSING, MORE FUN.

I’m drawn to the small, authentic interactions — the giggles, hugs, playful gestures, and little details that make your family unique.

During the session, I work with a calm, unobtrusive presence, letting moments unfold naturally while gently guiding when needed.

Every image is crafted with care, intention, and a focus on connection, ensuring your 20-minute session results in photographs that truly reflect your family.

    • “Christa I BLOODY love them!”
      I cannot stop looking at them! I’ve never felt so comfortable having my photo taken.

      “These are just what we wanted”
      Christa was fantastic at working with our toddler and getting us the gorgeous natural family pictures that we wanted. Thank you so much!
    • “We absolutely loved our family photo shoot with Christa“
      It was such a calm and relaxing morning – having a walk through the park as a family with the odd bit of direction here and there from Christa. The fact that she managed to get so many beautiful shots of our preschooler and toddler, as well as the two of us who are very camera shy and awkward, speaks volumes to her skills and patience! The communication after the shoot was brilliant as well. She made sure we understood the process perfectly and was on hand for any questions or requests throughout.

    Frequently asked QUESTIONS

    Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled time. This allows everyone to settle in, ensuring the session begins relaxed and on time. If we’re at an outdoor location I’ll send you instructions a few days before to tell you exactly where to meet me.

    I recommend coordinated, neutral tones with minimal patterns. Comfort is key—clothes your family can move in freely will help create natural, relaxed images. When you book, I’ll send through a guide to help you prepare.

    Fingers crossed it’s not a total wash out. We can either reschedule or move to a covered or alternative location. My goal is for your session to feel calm, comfortable, and enjoyable, regardless of the weather.

    From a typical mini session you can expect between 20 and 30 photographs to choose your favourites from.

    You’ll receive your online preview gallery within 1-2 weeks, you’ll then be able to select your favourites and order any extra you’d like.
