Session durations vary: newborn photography typically takes 2-3 hours, family sessions 60-90 minutes, and headshots 30-45 minutes to allow for styling and multiple compositions.
What makes your studio different from other Cambridge photographers?
With 50+ years' combined experience, we uniquely blend traditional techniques with modern creativity. Our relaxed approach captures authentic moments rather than forced poses, creating timeless images that truly reflect your personality.
