Kind words from families

The photos are absolutely stunning! Aleksa captured all those tiny details and little moments we never want to forget. We're so glad we booked, especially knowing how quickly little ones grow!
Karolina
We were worried our two toddlers wouldn't cooperate, but Aleksa knew exactly how to work around them! No awkward posing or pressure, just plenty of freedom to play. She somehow managed to capture the most amazing photos!
Alison
My daughter felt like a proper little model! She loved choosing her poses and showing off her personality. It wasn't just a photoshoot for her, it was a whole experience. She's already asking when we can come back!

Please arrive at your arrival time. You have 10 minutes to get ready before your photos begin and 5 minutes afterwards to gather your things.

What to wear

Come dressed and ready for photos, so we can use every minute together. The studio is set up for the sessions and there is no separate changing room.

A jumper, scarf or hairband is the easiest way to change your look. If you are happy to change quickly without a changing room, and we have time, you are welcome to. Clothes are not provided.

Cosy knits and soft festive colours work well. Please avoid large logos and busy patterns. See my preparation tips.

What to bring

  • A change of shoes
  • A jumper, scarf or hair accessory to change your look
  • A hairbrush
  • Wet wipes
  • Water

Sessions are short, so please leave snacks at home.

Parents in the photos

I mainly photograph the children, but I always love asking parents to join in. It is lovely if you wear something suitable too. If you prefer not to be in the photos, you are welcome to sit and wait.

Babies and young children

Babies are very welcome. A fed and settled baby is usually a happy one, so a feed just before you arrive really helps. Mini sessions are short, and this gives your little one the best chance to enjoy it.

During your session

Sit back and enjoy watching. Keeping phones away while I photograph helps your children look at me and keeps the session flowing.

Guests and pets

The studio is cosy, so there is room for the people in your photos and a parent waiting with the children. For a bigger family group, a full photo session is the best fit.

These two rounds are for people only, but I would love to photograph your pet another time. If you would like a session with your pet, let me know, as I may plan a separate day.

Finding the studio

Will Do Studio, 22 Castle Street, Trowbridge, BA14 8AS. There are two large pay and display car parks next to the studio, and a free multi-storey car park. A toilet is available on site.

Larger groups

Mini sessions cannot include more people than the limit for your session. For a larger group, please book a full photo session instead.

Good to know before you book

How booking works

Your deposit

  • Your £30 deposit secures the time you choose, and it comes off your session price on the day.
  • If I ever have to cancel, you get a full refund.
  • Apart from illness, the deposit stays with your Christmas booking and is not refunded if plans change.

If your child is unwell

  • Little ones get poorly, especially in December, so please do not worry. Just message me as soon as you can.
  • I will move you to a free Christmas date in either round, or turn your deposit into credit towards a gift voucher for a family, children’s or newborn session.

Changing your date

  • For any other reason, Round 1 sessions can move to a free Round 2 date if you let me know at least 24 hours before.
  • Round 2 is the final round before Christmas, so those dates can only be moved for illness.

Arriving on time

Sessions run one after another, so please arrive at your arrival time. If you are more than 10 minutes late, I may not be able to fit your session in, as the next family will be waiting.

Your gallery

Your watermarked gallery is just for choosing your favourites. Please only use the final edited photos you receive, as using watermarked or unpaid photos would mean I could not take future bookings from you.

Your consent

You can change your mind about publishing or filming at any time by sending me a message. These rules do not affect your statutory rights.
