Fun, half-hour photoshoots of you and your little ones, amongst the beautiful Bluebells

It’s Spring - which means its time for Bluebell photoshoots!

The most beautiful time of the year for photographs is almost here - why not update your family photos in the stunning Bluebell woods?

These iconic sessions, in the stunning, ancient, Ashridge Estate sell out so quickly and just seem to get more popular each year! Hit the button below to sign up to our waitlist and get booking info as soon as it’s released.

This is our tenth year photographing amongst the beautiful Hertfordshire Bluebells, and we work alongside the National Trust to make sure these precious, legally protected flowers, are treated with the respect they deserve and not damaged for generations to come.

We work around the flowers, using natural paths, logs and clearings to make sure your images are filled with the distinctive purple blooms, whilst respecting this beautiful, ancient, woodland. As we know the woods so well, we have a quiet, lesser known area that we use for shoots, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy day trip areas.

The details…

We will be shooting amongst the Bluebells from the end of April to mid-May, most likely the weekends of April 27th, May 4th and May 11th.

Mini Sessions are short, but sweet sessions which last half an hour and are perfect for updating your family images. The sessions are run on a couple of set weekend days. The price includes 5 digitals images which you can choose from an online gallery of around 15-20 edited images.

We are also taking bookings for full family sessions amongst the Bluebells - which are a little more relaxed time-wise and we allow up to an hour and a half. These are ideal for bigger families, bringing pets, or if you have children who may need a little more patience and time - or if it’s just been a while and you want more variety and choice. These are priced from £275 and you’ll receive a much bigger and varied gallery (around 30-60 images) to choose from. For more details of full family packages click here.

This will be our 5th year having a Bluebell Session with Lightmonkey Photography. It has become a family tradition which we love because Rachel and Ceri make it so much fun. They manage to balance this with educating our girls about the delicate flowers and protecting them from little feet. I adore the images they capture, such precious memories.

I had the most wonderful experience, they made me feel so comfortable and were wonderful with my baby. The pictures are lovely, I’m so glad we got them done.

Some useful info…

The sessions take place in Ashridge Forest. We will send a location map once we have you booked in.

The shoots will take place from the last week of April, throughout May - with weekend and midweek sessions available.

We will send clothing guidelines before your shoot to help you to choose clothing as it is so important for a Bluebell session.

Your images will be delivered via an online gallery within two weeks of your shoot - there is no in-person sales or trips back to see us (unless you want to see us again because we’re so lovely!)
