What to Expect
A guided session, without pressure
From the moment you enquire, the focus is on creating a calm, supportive experience. Each session is thoughtfully planned around you, your family, and your pets, with time taken beforehand to understand what will help everyone feel at ease.​
On the day, sessions are gently guided rather than overly directed. There is no rushing and no pressure to perform. Children are free to move, explore, and take breaks when needed, and pets are given the time and space they require to settle comfortably.
​
​Elara Photography Studios is SEN-aware and inclusive. This approach is particularly well suited to young children, neurodivergent children, and families who benefit from a quieter, more flexible pace.
The aim is simple: comfort, connection, and images that feel true to you.
The Session Journey
A calm, guided experience designed to support your family every step of the way.
Before Your Session
Before your session takes place, we begin with a relaxed consultation, either in person or over the phone. This is your space to tell me about your family, your pets, and anything you feel is important for me to know.
​
We talk through personalities, routines, sensitivities, and any worries you may have, whether that is around behaviour, sensory needs, anxiety, or simply how your children usually respond to new environments.
Nothing is too small, and there is no judgement.
This planning stage allows your session to be thoughtfully prepared around you, rather than expecting you to fit into a set format.
During the Session
Sessions are gently guided and paced around your family. There is no rushing, no pressure to perform, and no expectation that everything will go to plan.
​
Children are free to move, explore, and take breaks when needed. Pets are given the time and space they need to settle comfortably. I guide when helpful, step back when appropriate, and allow moments to unfold naturally.
​
Elara Photography Studio is SEN-aware and inclusive. This approach is particularly well suited to young children, neurodivergent children, sensitive family dynamics, and families who need a quieter, more flexible pace. Comfort and connection always come first.
After the Session
After your session, you will be guided through viewing and choosing your images in a calm, unpressured way.
There is no need to make rushed decisions.
I help you select artwork and products that suit your home and reflect what matters most to you, whether that is wall art, albums, or digital keepsakes.
​
The focus is on creating something meaningful and lasting, not just images that live on a screen. Every step is handled with the same care and intention as the session itself.
