How long is a studio family photoshoot?

A studio family photoshoot lasts 90 minutes. This gives time for the whole family, smaller groupings, siblings, couples and individual portraits within the same session.

Where is the Pennypics studio?

Studio family photoshoots take place in Kennington, South London, close to Central London and well connected for families travelling from South West and West London. The studio gives us a dedicated setting for family photos, sibling groupings and individual portraits, with professional lighting and space to work comfortably through the different combinations.

Can grandparents or extended family join the session?

Yes. Grandparents, extended families and multigenerational portraits are very welcome. The studio works particularly well when you would like both a complete family portrait and smaller combinations within the same session. For larger groups, please make an enquiry first so Paola can confirm that the studio is the right setting for the family and combinations you would like photographed.

Can we change outfits during the photoshoot?

Yes. The studio has a private changing area, so you can change the look during the session if you would like to. It is entirely optional. The studio simply gives you the freedom to make the portraits feel more your own.

Less around you. More of you.

Paola Perni photographs every session personally, using controlled light, simple backgrounds and clear direction to move from complete family portraits to smaller groupings and individual portraits within one 90-minute photoshoot.

Paola brings more than 15 years of portrait photography and professional retouching experience across Milan and London.
