Portrait Photography
Blue Lights Photography is run by myself, Adele, and I aim to
offer you quality portraits in my Barnsley based studio. I have
prior experience of working with children, and I have been
photographing children for over 4 years now, which means that
patience and fun are forefront for a happy and relaxed photo
session.
I work with you to find out what you are wanting
from your session, and then I am able to deliver the images that
you want to hang in your home.

Children
Thank you for your interest in our
Children’s photography sessions, these sessions are aimed for 3
months upwards!
I am the only photographer at Blue
Lights Photography, giving you a personal approach to the
session, but it also means that if you become a repeat customer
then your little one will get to know me, which will make your
session easier. I take time to get to know the children; I play
with them and try to create a relaxed environment for them.
Relaxed children are happy children – and we pull silly faces
and sing songs not only to capture natural reactions –but their
own personal character.
There are plenty of props within
the studio – but I do advise to bring your own. Feel free to
bring along your little one’s favourite toys, or a change of
outfit. Something that you don’t mind being on your photographs.
For time, I generally schedule one hour, however as I work at
your child’s pace sessions can sometimes be shorter, or run
longer.
Session Fee:
£45.00

Family
Our Family Sessions are a great way to
capture your family, as it grows and changes from year-to-year,
they are a perfect way to capture beautiful memories.
Don’t worry if you are not normally relaxed in front of the
camera, as I will work with you to get the best out of your and
your family. Family Sessions are for up to 5 people, however if
there are additional people, or you want to include a pet – then
why not enquire about our Lifestyle sessions outdoor which are
held Spring to Autumn.
For time, I generally schedule one
hour, however I work at your families pace. Clients of any age
are welcome however under 18's must be accompanied by their own
parent/guardian.

Cake Smash
Our Cake Smash sessions are a fabulous
way to mark milestone birthdays, specifically aimed at first and
second birthdays - or just because you want something a little
different. Our Cake Smash sessions are split into three. We
start with 10 minutes of standard photos before we get out the
cake, and then after that - we get to splash about and have fun
when we bring out the tub to clean up!
Our Cakes are made
specifically for our shoots by a couple of local cake makers who
make the cakes to specifications and colours requested. Please
also let us know if your little one has any allergies as we can
cater for these too.
Cake Smash Sessions last around 1
hour, depending on your little one. Some children don’t like the
feel of cake (or eat it) but we still manage to get lots of
lovely pictures. Please remember to bring a spare outfit and
nappies. We all normally get covered in cake! Please also bring
a towel & bubbles for the tub if required.
Session Fee:

What Age is Best?
A lot of time I am asked when is the best time to have your little one photographed. This is a guide for photographs within the first year. I do photograph older children and families also, if you have any questions please just ask.
Newborns: Newborn babies are one of our specialties and are best photographed within 14 days of birth; however they can be photographed up to 6 weeks old. Please see our specific newborn area for more information.
3-4 Months: Classed as
around 14-16 weeks this age is perfect if you haven’t had
newborn photographs. Your little ones are still baby looking,
but can now respond to noises, are more smiley, are grabbing
hands and feet and are holding their head up when laid on their
tummy.
6 Months: Around this age your little
one will be able to sit unaided and showing signs of crawling.
They will also be showing the cheeky character that they are now
developing.
12 Months: This age is perfect
for our Cakey Baby photo sessions or some lovely portraits.
Little ones are generally standing unaided, where as some are
now walking!
View and order
After your session we will arrange a
return date for you to come back to our Studio for a private
viewing of your images. Whilst you are viewing your images we
will also be able to help you choose the right memories to
showcase on the walls of your home. Your Viewing and Ordering
session is the only way to view your photographs. Once you have
placed your order the images will be then placed on a private
online gallery where your family can make additional purchases.
This gallery is only available for two weeks from your viewing
session.
If no items are purchased at the viewing
session, then the gallery will not be published online.There is
no minimum spend for any of our sessions, however most clients
spend an average of £250-£350.
Cash, or Debit and Credit cards are
accepted. Cheques are also accepted but please be aware that
your items will not be ordered until your cheque has cleared.
