Not sure what to wear, or which colours suit your theme? Browse three palettes from real Thapasvi sessions, then tell us your favourite.

Explore the palettes What to bring

Before your session

A little planning, a calmer day

  1. Pick a palette, not an outfit

    Choose a colour family first. Outfits, sets and props then fall into place, and every frame feels connected.

  2. Comfort comes first

    Soft fabrics and easy fits help everyone relax, and relaxed families make the most natural photos.

  3. Tell us early

    Share your palette when you book, and we will plan the set and styling around it with you.

Studio or outdoors

Choose your light

We shoot in our indoor studio and outdoors. Both suit every palette: switch between them to see how the light changes the mood.

Choose the light

Studio light: soft, controlled and all-weather. Cream and pastel palettes glow on our sets.

  • A laughing little boy in a waistcoat and bow tie at a toy grand piano on a white set
  • A little boy sitting on wooden ONE blocks beside a big teddy on a peach set

Outdoor light: open air, greenery and golden hour. Earthy tones look especially rich outside.

  • A little girl in a headband standing among tall golden grass outdoors
  • A little boy standing by a green tent with teddies on a grassy lakeside
