Mother and Daughter Portrait Session

A fabulous way to celebrate your bond and create a visual legacy that will last a lifetime

There’s something profoundly beautiful about capturing the bond between a mother and daughter—moments of laughter, warmth, strength, and love that deserve to be honoured and remembered.

At Renata Clarke Portraits, my mother and daughter portrait sessions are designed as a deeply personal and relaxed experience, whether you want something timeless and elegant or fun and expressive. These sessions can take place in my cosy home studio in Coylton, Ayrshire or—if you prefer the comfort of your own space—I can bring professional lighting and backdrops to your home.

Makeup and hairstyling are entirely optional. While some clients love to be pampered beforehand, others prefer a more natural or stripped-back look. Either way, you’ll be fully supported to feel confident, seen, and celebrated.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, creating legacy images, or simply want a day to reconnect and enjoy each other’s presence—this session is for you.

My process for the mother and daughter photoshoot

As with all my portrait experiences, your session begins well before the camera comes out. After your booking, I’ll send you a thoughtful preparation guide and we’ll arrange a video wardrobe consultation around 1–2 weeks before your session (via Teams, WhatsApp, or FaceTime). For two people, the consultation typically takes up to an hour—and it’s where we’ll explore your wardrobe choices, makeup preferences (if any), and the vision you have for your portraits.

On the day of your session, we can meet at my warm and welcoming home studio in Coylton, Ayrshire—or I can bring the full experience to your home, complete with lighting and backdrops. You’re free to choose the atmosphere that feels most comfortable and authentic to you.

Professional makeup and hairstyling are available as optional add-ons. Some clients love the pampering, while others prefer to be photographed naturally—it’s completely your choice. Either way, you’ll be fully guided and supported throughout.

During your session, we’ll take a combination of individual portraits and beautiful shared moments. I’ll guide you through poses from head to toe so you can relax, be present, and simply enjoy this shared experience. For a two-person session, I usually recommend up to three individual outfit changes and one or two for your joint portraits.

Once your session is complete, we’ll meet again—either in person or over video—for your viewing and ordering appointment. This is your opportunity to see all the beautiful images we’ve created and choose the ones that resonate most deeply with you. You’ll receive one image included with your session, and there are flexible package options available if you’d like to add more, including stunning folio boxes or custom prints.
