After the lovely feedback from last year we are once again holding a day of studio mini sessions especially for those families whose loved one will be away at sea over Christmas.

Christmas Card Sessions Life in Focus Portraits family photographer Helensburgh

We are holding the sessions on Wednesday 20th September from 1pm onwards, there will be sessions available after school for older children.  This will be a very informal afternoon so please feel free to pop along early and stay for a cuppa and a chat.

Due to recent changes, we will be holding an additional afternoon on MONDAY 4th DECEMBER.

We will capture a number of lovely photos of your little (or big) ones on one of our Christmas themed set-ups.  You will have a number of finished images to choose from and your favourite will be turned into a special custom Christmas card to pop in with Daddy’s Christmas gifts.

Here is what a couple of last years’ families had to say about their experience:

“I loved the idea of the card as I knew it was something special he could open at sea and knew it would put a smile on his face.  The photograph was fantastic as always.

He said it was  ‘An unexpected amazing reminder of home’ and really cheered him up when he needed it too as he was missing Olivia’s first Christmas.”

“This photo shoot didn’t feel like a regular shoot,  it’s very relaxed and informal with chocolates and and toys out to distract the kids. It actually got me excited for Christmas, which is hard when you know your loved one will be away. But knowing that this little surprise would mean so much to my husband was really comforting. It’s also a great opportunity to meet with other families. Louise is incredibly flexible, I didn’t feel rushed as she allowed me time to settle my newborn and she really takes her time and care to insure a great photo. I highly recommend getting a card, especially as Louise graciously offers her services for a charitable donation.”
