frequently asked questions

  • Short sessions. No distractions. Black and white imagery that holds up over time.

     

    The focus is not on trends or props. It’s on your child, exactly as they are.

  • Keep it simple.

     

    Solid tones, soft textures, and minimal patterns photograph best in black and white. Avoid logos, graphics, or anything overly busy.

     

    Neutrals always work well, but the most important thing is that your child feels comfortable and like themselves.

  • Little Shrimps sessions are designed for children of all ages.

     

    That said, they tend to work especially well once a child can sit independently and engage naturally in front of the camera.

     

    Every age brings something different, and that’s the point.

  • Each session is 10 minutes per child.

     

    The pace is intentional. It keeps things easy, natural, and focused without overwhelming your child.

  • Booking is based on the number of children:

     

    1 child = 1 session

    2 children = 2 sessions

    3 children = 2 sessions (discount applied)

    4 children = 3 sessions (discount applied)

     

    If you’re unsure, we’re happy to guide you.
