Christmas Family Portraits 2026

Celebrate Christmas with a fun festive photoshoot at Steve Lowrey Photography Studio in Leigh, Greater Manchester.

My Christmas mini sessions are suitable for children, families, couples and well-behaved pets. Christmas jumpers, matching pyjamas and festive outfits are all welcome—the brighter and more Christmassy, the better!

Sessions last approximately 20 minutes and are available on selected dates during December 2026 only.

What Should We Wear?

Christmas jumpers and festive pyjamas are very welcome! You could also choose smart party clothes, matching family outfits or traditional seasonal colours such as red, green, gold, cream and tartan.

For family photographs, coordinating colours usually work better than everyone wearing exactly the same outfit.

Christmas Photoshoots for Children and Families

Christmas is a magical time for children, and these short sessions are designed to capture their excitement without expecting them to sit still for too long.

Parents and other family members are welcome to join the photographs. Well-behaved dogs and other family pets may also be included by prior arrangement.

Family Christmas Photo Gallery

I use a mixture of physical and digital backdrops to enhance the Christmas illusion. You wouldn’t expect me to have a real polar bear in the studio, would you?
