Booking a portrait session for the festive season

The run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new year are some of the busiest for portrait sessions, for fairly obvious reasons: end-of-year reviews, family time, and a natural moment to mark something new.

Booking earlier than usual is the main practical advice here. Availability tightens noticeably from late November, and studio slots in particular go quickly. If a specific date matters, get in touch well ahead rather than assuming a late booking will work out.

FAQs

Some quick answers here.

I hate having my photo taken. Will this work?
That is the rule, not the exception. Sessions are directed from start to finish, so nobody stands there wondering what to do with their hands. Most people relax inside ten minutes.

Where do portrait sessions happen?
Most sessions run at LemonShark Studio, 769 Fulham Road SW6, five minutes from Parsons Green. On request sessions run on location anywhere in London: an office, a street, a park that means something.
