So What's The Big Deal?
And why should you book a Family Photography Mini Session NOW?!

There are plenty of reasons to secure one of Holly’s Family Mini Photography Sessions today.

 

Each session lasts 20 minutes and is packed with energy, laughter, and plenty of fun. Holly has a real gift for putting families at ease and keeping everyone entertained, so even the most camera-shy members will quickly relax. Before you know it, the session will be over but you’ll be left with a beautiful collection of images capturing genuine smiles and special family moments.

  • Your mini session includes all of your professionally edited digital images  delivered through a private online gallery for easy download. While we usually suggest around five images per mini session, Holly often captures more :-)

  • As an extra bonus, your favourite image will also be included as a framed 10” × 8” print which is the perfect size for displaying along a hallway. You might want to start thinking about where you’ll hang it.

  • And don’t forget the grandparents. For the first 14 days after your gallery goes live, you’ll receive a 20% off early-bird discount on all products available in your online gallery shop. This includes unframed prints starting from just £5, as well as calendars, canvases, framed prints, and a range of other keepsakes.

  • This is also a rare opportunity to book Holly for your family portraits. Her diary fills quickly, and mini sessions are a fantastic way to enjoy a professional shoot without waiting months for availability.

 

It’s exceptional value as a Full photography experience session with Holly normally starts from £600, but by booking now you can enjoy a Family Mini Session for just £199.

 

T&Cs apply. All purchases are final and non-refundable.

Testimonials

Edinburgh Family Photographer Midlothian.jpg

Trying to get a photo of a family with five kids with ages spanning 20 years and a dog who’s more disobedient than all the kids is no simple task but Diana made it look childsplay. From the 50 (more like 500) messages of will this dress work? The video wardrobe tour in her own time in the evening, to the way she put even the most camera shy members of the family at ease before I even start on our amazing images.I absolutely cannot recommend Diana highly enough.

We went to Holly & Ivy for my little boys' first birthday shoot. We also took our dog and it was just the cutest experience ever. Holly is so chill, calm and collected whilst producing the nicest quality and most organic photos. Would recommend over & over!!!

''Holly from the outset was amazing with her communication and was very open to what we wanted from the shoot. When speaking with Holly she was always so warm and accommodating and very fast at replying. On the day of the shoot Holly was very professional and knew exactly what she was doing (even when baby wasn’t playing ball!) she managed to use her magic to get the most beautiful shots. We are so happy with our photos and end result and so thankful to Holly for creating these special memories.''

Here's What To Do Next

Reserve Your Family Mini Session

 

Mini Sessions are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t miss this opportunity to secure your spot!

 

Booking is simple: click the “SECURE YOUR MINI SESSION SPOT TODAY” button to view Holly’s calendar, check availability, and reserve your preferred time. You’ll receive a confirmation email immediately, detailing your session date and time.

 

  • Next, let the planning begin — outfit coordination! Holly is happy to offer her professional styling advice. Simply send her a photo of your planned outfits via WhatsApp on 07389721600, and she’ll help ensure everyone looks perfectly coordinated for your portraits

  • Outfits that work best for this shoot are soft neutrals and whites. For men and little boys, think a white shirt or t-shirt paired with chinos or light-wash jeans. For women and little girls, a white dress or a light top with soft-toned bottoms works beautifully. A white shirt with light trousers is also a timeless option for mums.  Avoid patterns and logos as these distract from your beautiful faces! I also have a selection of studio pieces you’re very welcome to use if you’d like a little extra help pulling everything together. If you plan to use studio items, please chat with me ahead of your session, as we won’t have time on the day to go through options.

  • About 48 hours before your session, we’ll touch base via email to answer any final questions and ensure everything is ready for your visit.

  • On the day, please arrive 10–15 minutes early shoot ready. Please account for traffic and ensure prompt arrival. Outfits on. Mirror available for last minute lipstick touch ups.

  • During your session, expect laughter, playful interactions, and those spontaneous moments that make family portraits truly special. Children often leave asking when they'll see Holly again, and adults frequently admit they had more fun than anticipated!

 

On Monday the 22nd of June, you’ll receive access to your private online gallery, where you can:

 

  1. Download all your professionally edited images

  2. Claim your complimentary 10” × 8” framed print (a code will be provided for easy redemption)

  3. Enjoy 20% off any additional products in the gallery shop, including prints, canvases, frames, and more

  4. Share your gallery with friends and family so they can order keepsakes too

All prints and products are crafted by a professional lab and delivered directly to your door.

 

Finally, if your family adores your images (and we’re confident you will!), we’d love it if you could leave a Google review to share your experience and help other families discover the magic of a Holly Mini Session.​​

Your Photographer: Holly 

Holly Branding photography_edited.jpg

Holly's passion for photography began when she had her own children and realised just how quickly the early years pass. She loved capturing their smiles, milestones, and the little details she never wanted to forget. As time went on, those photographs became a precious way to revisit moments that might otherwise have faded in the blur of busy family life. Today, that experience inspires her work as an Edinburgh & Lothians family photographer, where she creates beautiful, timeless images that help parents hold onto the magic of childhood and the fleeting moments that become lifelong memories.
