Yes — our Original Fairy Experience is in high demand and spaces are strictly limited. We currently operate a waiting list. To secure your place, please fill in our waiting list form on this page. Once current dates are filled, the fairy experience will not return until the following year, so we encourage you to join the list as early as possible.

Your £30 booking fee secures your booking and includes: a full fairy or elf photoshoot in our magical set; use of our beautiful fairy and elf costumes and accessories (no need to bring your own clothing); a cinematic slideshow viewing experience; and the opportunity to select your favourite images and wall art from the session. All fairy experience images you purchase are individually hand-finished by Anita with special magic and sparkle effects.

The Original Fairy Experience at our Bedfordshire studio is perfect for children from babies upward, with costumes available for smaller fairies and elves too. Girls up to their teens and boys up to around age 8 particularly love the experience. Siblings are very welcome — we can photograph them together and individually within a single session. 

We usually allow one hour for the session, giving plenty of time to settle in, choose costumes, get changed, and capture the magic. For larger families or groups, or if you have any special requirements, we can arrange a longer session — just let us know when booking. Our Bedfordshire studio is purpose-built with indoor and outdoor garden spaces to make your child feel relaxed.

Collections start from three large prints. Our team will guide you through what you love most.
