Family Mini Session at our South Surrey Studio

Family Mini Session at our South Surrey Studio

We have so many families who come back regularly for 6-month photos, 1st birthday photos, 100 days celebrations or even 2nd, 3rd, 4th birthdays on onward. Often they ask for “just a few photos” which we totally understand, as less is more and we’re all about quality over quantity! Our studio is bright, white, filled with natural light, has a few simple prop options, and is perfect for capturing natural moments and real smiles with beautiful images.
