Summer Mini Sessions in London
A generous summer photoshoot for families who want to remember the season exactly as it felt.
Summer has a way of moving quickly when children are free to enjoy it.
Pennypics Summer Mini Sessions are relaxed outdoor family photoshoots in London, created to preserve a little of that feeling — images that capture the energy, connection and freedom of summer in less than an hour.
With gentle direction from Paola, children can be themselves while the photographs remain beautifully lit, carefully composed and finished with care.

Summer Mini Session FAQ
Do mini sessions feel rushed?
Not at all.
Summer Mini Sessions are shorter than a full portrait session, but never hurried.
Children naturally explore, play and settle into the experience, allowing time for beautifully composed family portraits without making the photoshoot feel long or demanding.
Is 10 photographs enough?
Yes — for many families, 10 beautifully finished portraits are exactly right for a seasonal refresh.
45 minutes outdoors gives the session room to breathe — time for movement, connection and composed family portraits, without the experience feeling rushed or overly formal.
If you would love to keep more after viewing your private selection preview, optional upgrades are available.
If you already know you would like a longer session and a fuller collection from the outset, you may prefer the Outdoor Family Portrait Experience.
What should we wear?
Choose clothing that feels comfortable, timeless and true to your family. Summer photographs are at their best when everyone feels relaxed rather than overly coordinated.
If you’re unsure, Paola is always happy to suggest colours and combinations that photograph beautifully together.
What happens if the weather changes?
Summer weather can be wonderfully unpredictable, but that's all part of photographing outdoors.
If conditions genuinely aren't suitable, we'll simply arrange another nearby date so your experience stays relaxed from beginning to end.
How many people can join?
Summer Mini Sessions are designed for immediate families of up to five people.
If you're planning photographs with grandparents or a larger family gathering, the Outdoor Family Portrait Experience is usually the better choice.
Can we include our dog?
Yes — well-behaved dogs are very welcome and often add something wonderfully personal to the session.
Simply mention it when booking so everything can be planned with ease.
