Hosted Children's Portrait Sessions at Home
Ever thought about getting gorgeous portraits of your children — without the faff of going to a studio?
This is exactly that, but even better.
I bring a professional portrait setup into your home ,across Bury, Manchester and surrounding locations, and you invite a few friends along. The children enjoy a fun, relaxed experience, and you all receive beautiful, professional images to keep.
Simple, social, and a really lovely way to do it.
What is a hosted session?
A hosted session is basically a mini studio experience at home.
I arrive with my backdrop & lighting, and photograph each child individually (and siblings together ) in a calm, structured setup — no chaos, no chasing them round the house!
Each family can include 1–4 children, with a minimum of 4 families to make it work really well.
There’s no upper limit — if you’ve got lots of friends and family who want in, even better.

Hosted At- Home Portrait Sessions - FAQs
What is a hosted at home portrait session?
A hosted portrait session is a relaxed, fun photography day at your home where you invite a small group of friends along for their own individual portrait sessions.
It’s a lovely, sociable experience — children often feel more comfortable, and you get beautiful professional portraits while enjoying time together. It’s photography without the pressure.
How many people do I need to invite?
I ask for a minimum of four children (including your own). These can be friends, siblings, cousins or a mix — whatever works best for you.
Some hosts invite a few friends with one child each, while others include siblings or small groups. I keep things flexible and relaxed, so you don’t need a house full of people — just a small, friendly group.
Do I receive anything for hosting?
Yes — as a thank you for hosting, you receive a complimentary gallery upgrade.
Hosted sessions are a great way to enjoy professional portraits at better value, while creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere for everyone involved.
What makes hosted session different?
Hosted sessions are relaxed, friendly and genuinely fun. Children often feel more comfortable when friends are involved, and the atmosphere becomes natural and enjoyable rather than formal.
It’s a lovely way to capture beautiful portraits while creating a memorable experience at the same time.
Do I need a lot of space at home?
Not at all. I bring my professional lighting and backdrop, so I can work in most homes — even smaller spaces.
I’ll guide you beforehand so everything feels easy and stress-free on the day.
Where do you travel to for hosted portrait sessions?
I regularly host portrait sessions across Bury, Whitefield, Prestwich, Middleton, Tottington, Ramsbottom, Heywood, Rochdale, Greater Manchester and surrounding areas.
If you are unsure whether I travel to you, just ask.
