Family Photoshoot FAQs
How far in advance should we book our family photoshoot?
Many families reserve several weeks in advance — particularly for weekends, seasonal timing, or specific preferred settings — though last-minute availability may occasionally be possible depending on the calendar.
Please note that studio sessions are not available on Bank Holidays.
Do you serve only Central and South London?
Pennypics is based in South London and regularly photographs families across Greater London — including Central, South, and West London — as well as Surrey and select destinations further afield.
For travel-based commissions and international work, please explore our Extended Portrait Commissions — a distinct branch of the studio for international visitors and professional clients.
Can we include grandparents or extended family?
Yes — with prior notice.
For larger groupings or milestone gatherings, a tailored session format may be recommended.
How long does a typical family session last?
Signature family sessions last approximately 90 minutes.
This allows space for natural interaction while maintaining a clear visual structure.
How does pricing work?
Signature family sessions in studio and at home are structured as a session fee, with images and artwork selected after your viewing.
