A few weeks ago I announced the exciting return of my London Mini Brand Portrait Sessions. These mini sessions are designed especially for small business owners and entrepreneurs who are in need of professional portraits but perhaps have a small budget, are just beginning their business, or only need a small top-up of images.

The Mini Brand Portrait Sessions are essentially a mini version of my signature brand and portrait packages, and also a fraction of the price! To keep the price so low, there are a small selection of dates and London locations to choose from, where I will offer a limited number of mini session time slots each day.

The result? You’ll end up with a selection of stunning professional portraits to use across your marketing platforms and really stand out!

So, A Mini Brand Portrait Session costs just £60 and takes place on the 23rd, 25th & 27th April, but which location should you go for?⁠

Well, fear not because today I’m going to talk through all the location options and help you decide which mini session location will suit you and your business best.

Shoreditch.

So the first day of my Spring 2023 Mini Brand Portrait Sessions takes place on Sunday 23rd April in Shoreditch. The area we will be shooting in on this day will be very leafy. There will also be a mix of steps, benches, brick walls, and colourful shops. Your images will give a trendy and nature vibe. Have a look at some Shoreditch mini session examples from last year:

Spitalfields.

For the second day of mini sessions on Tuesday 25th April we’re at vibrant Spitalfields. This is my most colourful location of the week, so if you have a fun brand, a creative business or a bubbly personality, this could be the location for you. We will be shooting mostly by colourful walls and doorways as well as some quiet streets and a leafy area too. Here are some images from last year’s Spitalfields mini sessions:

Barbican.

Our final day of London mini sessions takes place on Thursday 27th April at Barbican. This is my most edgy location of the week, but also works well for a sophisticated feel. There's brutalist architecture, lots of grey, brown, concrete, and brick backgrounds. There’s also lots of leafy areas too, and even some water. See below for some Barbican mini session examples:

So, those are the 3 locations to choose from for the Spring 2023 Mini Brand Portrait Sessions, but you’re also more than welcome to book on multiple days if you want a combination of the locations.

There are only 5 mini session slots available each day, so please book early to avoid disappointment. However, don’t worry if your preferred location sells out or doesn't suit your schedule because all 3 locations will result in professional portraits that will help you and your small business stand out! (And make sure to tell me a bit about your business in your booking form, and I’ll make any location work for you!)

The Spring 2023 Mini Brand Portrait Sessions cost just £60 a session and will provide you with a selection of stunning professional portraits to use across your marketing platforms! Each session includes: 

  • Session prep guide.
