Christmas Family Photos at Home in Hertford
Christmas with kids passes in the blink of an eye, so why not capture it exactly as it is? I’ll come to your home in Hertford for a relaxed Christmas photoshoot in front of your own tree, with the decorations, lights and little traditions that make your family Christmas yours.
Whether you’re in a townhouse near the town centre, a cottage in Bengeo or a family home out towards Hertford Heath, there’s no packing up the car and no cold car parks. Just cosy, natural photos in your own space, perfect for Christmas cards, presents for the grandparents or simply remembering this year.
Why at home?
Why Choose an At Home Christmas Photoshoot in Hertford?
Everyone’s More Relaxed
Children, babies and grown-ups feel at ease at home, so you get real smiles and natural moments instead of stiff poses.
Take Your Time
Sessions are typically up to 30 minutes but aren’t time limited. If someone needs a snack, a break or a cuddle, that’s absolutely fine.
Pets are Welcome!
Your dog, cat or any other four-legged family member can be in the photos. They can’t come along to the mini shoots, so this is the one for them.
Zero Faff
No car seats, no cold November car parks and no rushing to a time slot. Just open the door and I’ll do the rest.
A Keepsake of Your Home
Years from now you’ll love seeing exactly how your house, your tree and your family looked at Christmas.
Flexible Dates
Life gets busy near Christmas. Evenings and weekends are available, so we’ll find a time that fits around your family.

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.

At Home Christmas Photoshoot FAQs
How do I book an at home Christmas photoshoot in Hertford?
Get in touch using the form on this page with a few dates and times that might suit you and roughly where in Hertford or the surrounding area you live. Evenings and weekends are available and we’ll find a date and time that works for your family.
How much does an at home Christmas photoshoot in Hertford cost?
The at home Christmas photoshoot is £119. That includes a relaxed shoot at your home, typically up to 30 minutes, and 5 edited digital images of your choice from your online gallery.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, a £25 deposit secures your date. The remaining £94 is paid before your session, so there’s nothing more to pay on the day.
How long does the shoot take?
Sessions are typically up to 30 minutes but aren’t time limited, so there’s no rush and we can go at a pace that suits everyone.
Which areas around Hertford do you cover?
I cover Hertford (SG13 and SG14) and the surrounding area, including Bengeo, Hertingfordbury, Hertford Heath, Bayford, Brickendon, Little Berkhamsted, Essendon, Tewin, Watton-at-Stone, Waterford, Ware, Hoddesdon, Great Amwell and Stanstead Abbotts. If you’re not sure, just get in touch.
Can my dog or cat be in the photos?
Yes, pets are welcome at home shoots. I can’t accommodate them at my Hertford Christmas Mini Shoots, so an at home shoot is the ideal choice if your pet is part of the family.
How many people can be in the photos?
Each booking is for one family. Group size depends on the space in your home. It’s typically up to 5 people, but I can fit in more if space and time permits.
What’s the difference between an at home shoot and the Hertford Christmas Mini Shoots?
The Christmas Mini Shoots take place on set dates at a venue in Hertford with festive backdrops. The at home shoot comes to you, in front of your own tree, with flexible dates including evenings and weekends, no time limit and pets welcome.
Can I buy extra photos?
Yes. Extra photos are £20 each, or you can add the full gallery for £49 on top of your session fee.
How soon will I get my photos, and can I use them for Christmas cards?
Your gallery is ready within a week of your shoot, so there’s time to order Christmas cards and prints before Christmas. Prints and other products such as canvases can be ordered from your gallery.
How should I get my home ready?
Turn your tree lights on, clear a little space around the tree and choose cosy outfits, festive jumpers or Christmas pyjamas. There’s no need for a spotless house, I’ll work with the space and light you have.
Who are you?

I’m fully insured with professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I also volunteer with the Scouts and have a full enhanced DBS check through them.

What if we can’t find a suitable date or time?
I’ll work with you to find what fits for your family. If we really can’t find a time that suits, just let me know and we’ll look at other options together.
