What Local Families Say
A few Google reviews from families who’ve had a Christmas shoot with me at my Hertford Christmas Mini Shoots.
4.8 from 25 Google reviewsOur Christmas mini shoot with Mike was so much fun. The kids had a fab time and there was no pressure or rushing, everyone was made to feel at ease. The photos are amazing, I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to have their family portraits done.
We had a Christmas mini photo shoot with my partner and 2 small children in which he accommodated us beautifully. He was amazing with the babies and had lots of wonderful props to create amazing photos! Thank you so much, would highly recommend 😊 !
This was the first time we’d ever done a Christmas photoshoot and it didn’t disappoint. Some beautiful pictures captured of our little family.

If you’re not sure, just get in touch.
Can my dog or other pets be in the photos?
Yes, pets are welcome at home shoots. Unfortunately I can’t accommodate them at my Christmas Mini Shoots in Hertford, so an at home shoot is perfect if your pet is part of the family.

Yes. Prints and other products such as canvases can be ordered from your gallery, and your images are perfect for Christmas cards.
How long until I get my gallery?
Your gallery is ready within a week of your shoot, giving you time to get Christmas cards and prints done before Christmas.
How should I prepare my home for the shoot?
Switch your tree lights on, tidy the space around the tree a little and choose cosy outfits, festive jumpers or Christmas pyjamas. Don’t worry about a perfect house, I’ll work with the space and light you have.
