Family photo shoots & child portrait sessions

Folkship offers a small number of family photo shoots and curated child portrait sessions each season, photographed on location across Cornwall.

Both are photographed in nature and shaped by time, place, and a thoughtful, responsive approach.

The Folkship family photo shoot

From £250

A relaxed family photo shoot, photographed in nature and gently guided to capture moments of connection, play, and togetherness.

These sessions are designed to hold onto this chapter of family life as it is now — fleeting, joyful, and deeply personal.

Includes:

  • A family photo shoot on location, outdoors in nature

  • Gentle guidance throughout, responsive to children and the flow of the day

  • A carefully edited online gallery

  • A small, considered collection of digital photographs to download and keep

Photo shoots take place outdoors, on location across Cornwall, with specific locations chosen together based on season, light, and what feels right for your family.

Best for:

Families wanting to remember this season of life as it is now.

Folkship curated child portrait session

From £600

A thoughtful, portrait-focused session for children, created with care and creative intention.

These sessions allow more time before and during the shoot — offering space to align on mood, styling, and purpose — and are well suited to children building a portrait collection, developing a creative portfolio, or needing strong, natural images that show character and expression.

Includes:

  • A pre-shoot conversation to align on creative direction, styling, and intention

  • A longer, focused portrait session photographed in nature

  • Time for gentle direction alongside space for natural expression

  • The opportunity for a small number of outfit changes

  • A carefully edited online gallery

  • A curated selection of expressive child portraits to download and keep

Portrait sessions are photographed in natural locations across Cornwall, chosen to suit the child, the season, and the creative intention of the shoot.

Best for:

Families seeking a more intentional portrait session, or children ready for a focused body of work that reflects who they are at this stage.

After your photo shoot

Printed photographs, albums, and keepsakes are available to add once you’ve seen your images.

This allows you to choose what feels most meaningful, without deciding in advance.
