Our stunning sell-out Autumn sessions in the beautiful Ashridge Estate are back!

Book your spot for beautiful family portraits in the Autumn colours of the Ashridge Estate

These iconic sessions, in the stunning, ancient Ashridge Estate sell out so quickly and just seem to get more popular each year! Just five minutes’ drive from Berkhamsted and Tring in Hertfordshire is the perfect spot for Autumn Family photographs.

You can choose from two types of session: A short but sweet mini session or a standard family session. The mini sessions last just 30 minutes and are perfect for updating family photos. These are held on set days and sell out fast - we’re currently planning to shoot the first two weekends of November, subject to the weather and how fast the leaves change. If you’d like to join our waitilist, with no obligation, and be first to receive the booking link when they are released please hit the button below. You’ll also receive our special early bird discount - full details of mini sessions below.

If you’d like to book a full family session, details and pricing here, then drop us an email and we can get you booked in immediately.

We come every year for an Autumn session with Lightmonkey Photography. It has become a family tradition! The kids can play and have so much fun with Rachel and Ceri and the colours make for the most beautiful pictures. The prints make great Christmas presents for family too.

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 in late October and early November - with both weekend, midweek and some school half term sessions available.

We will send clothing guidelines before your shoot to help you to choose clothing as it is so important for an Autumn 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!)
