A fun, friendly and relaxed experience

As you will see from some of the children photoshoots images, the kids really love showing us what they do when they come to visit us at our Studio in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear. To view last years full gallery click here.

Why should you treat your children to a photoshoot?

We love to welcome all children between 0 and 16 years old into our photography studio, to take part in our competition. For us, we aim to let your children have fun in front of the camera. We let them choose their own outfits, let them wear their favourite jacket, hat, cap or shades as the more comfortable they are the more fun they will have.

We are pretty centrally located and we love to see families from all over the North East. From locations such as Hebburn, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields, Sunderland, Washington, Chester-Le-Street, Seaham, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, and Durham to name a few who have come to visit us in our studio. But we have also had families visit from further afield as well from Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and Blackpool and they all loved their family and children photoshoots with us.

We have an excellent reputation with our customers. We like to ensure your children are happy and relaxed while we capture their wonderful poses and funny moments. We try to keep sessions as relaxed as possible, although we do sometimes need to guide arms and legs into positions. We aren’t being bossy, just trying to get the best position that your children will be comfortable in.
