Have you ever had professional photographs taken with your family? It is a great way of capturing a moment or a time in your families life to be able to look back on in years to come. I know we all take many photos of our families on our phones these days, but there is something special about having pictures that have been taken profressionally.
Splento is a company that can provide visual content on demand. Whatever your reason for needing to book a photographer, Splento has someone to fit the job. With over 15,000 photographers you can book ahead for your event or family photoshoot or even book someone on really short notice. The choice of location is completely up to you too.
We were offered a one-hour photo shoot to be able to review the booking process, service and how we found the whole experience. Initially, we were going to do two different shoots, one with cocktail outfits for Christmas and one outside in our local park, but the day was so nice and bright we spent the whole session outside as we felt this was the best decision to make the most of the beautiful day.
The package we received is priced at £99 and included the following;
- Specialist professional photographer
- All best photos (generally at least 50 photos generated per hour) ready within 48 hours (usually 21 hours)
- Digital editing and retouching
- All unedited jpegs
- Private online galleries
- A3 print-sized images
- Upgraded commercial license
Booking Our Photoshoot
The whole process was very easy. The booking didn’t take long. You get an email confirmation of your booking straight away. Our photographer then contacted us in advance to make sure we were ready for it and to answer any questions we might have. We agreed to meet at our home on a lovely sunny Saturday morning before heading to our chosen location for the shoot. He was very punctual and arrived on time.
Charlie, our photographer
We walked to the park and started our session straight away. Charlie, our photographer was lovely. He is originally from Italy so having both the same background (my family is also from an Italian background) we instantly connect. He was really lovely with my girls which was very important to have the girls in the mood and happy for the photos.
How We Found The Photoshoot
We had so much fun that day. I really loved the experience of having a family photo shoot so I will definitely do it again. We all felt comfortable and relaxed and it was a really fun experience.
After the session, we received our photos within 48 hours. The photos were gorgeous and captured the colours from the park perfectly which is what I hoped for as it was a beautiful day. I was very impressed, especially because I will be able to freeze those memories for longer as now we can see these photos all the time. I am going to print a few of them and frame them and will be on display at home for many years to come.
Our Thoughts About Splento
Sienna
Bella
Splento is a great place to hire a photographer. You can easily find someone local to you who ticks all the boxes so you get a photographer that will cover all your needs. It is a quick process and the best part is that they send your photos very quickly which is great. The quality of the photos is of a very high standard too, I was really pleased with how they turned out. After trying out the service I can definitely recommend them for anyone looking to hire a photographer.
Have you ever had a professional family photoshoot before?

My husband and I bought a family photoshoot for his parents a couple of christmases ago. The photos are of me, my husband, his parents, sister and her two children. They’re gorgeous but they were taken in a studio and all we all look a little uncomfortable. These taken in the park look fantastic! I think I may have just found a gift for the in laws 40th wedding anniversary! Thank you so much!
My favourite photo is of Bella with the leaves, its gorgeous, and the family one with the girls in the tree is also great!
Thank you! I think having the photos taken outside definitely made a difference! The colours of the leaves were so pretty. I love that photo of Bella too! Yes that will be a fantastic gift for your in-laws. I am sure they will love it! xx
We just had a bunch of them done before Christmas! The colours in these photos though – wow! Charlie has quite an eye! Lovely family and a fab investment for the future #kcacols
Thank you so much, Shan! Yes, the colours were just spot on! Autumn is definitely a beautiful season to take photos! Xx
We’ve never had a professional photo shoot and I suspect the moment is passed, but I regret this seeing your lovely photos #KCACOLS
Oh it is never too late! You should do it! It would be lovely! X
WOW! The photos are stunning! And the colors are gorgeous!
Were they taken at St James park? I think I have a photo of my son on the same tree except that yours are so professionally and beautifully captured.
Oops! I forgot the #kcacols tag.
Thank you! No, they were taken at a local park near where I live in North West London! The parks here are gorgeous. And we were so lucky with the day too because the sun brought up all the lovely autumn colours! 🙂 x
It looks like you had a fabulous time and the photos are so beautiful – I love the colours and the leaves and trees make a wonderful backdrop! #KCACOLS
Thank you lovely! It was such a lovely sunny day! And the photographer was very talented too! 🙂 x
These photos are gorgeous – autumn is always the best time for them outdoors!
Thank you! Yes it is! I love it! 🙂 x
What lovely photos! And at a great price too. So nice to have pictures of you all together. Love that they’ll go to wherever you want the shoot too. Thanks for hosting #kcacols
Thank you Carol! Yes they are very flexible with location which is great! X
Oh wow. How beautiful! I adore all the autumny colours in these photos. Such stunning photos. #KCACOLS
these are such lovely photos Franca. the one of you and Nick is lush. And the price for what you get really isn’t bad at all! #KCACOLS
How lovely. I would love to have some nice photos of my kids, but now they are older they are not interested in having photos with mum lol. What a great service though, I like you can have your photos where you want, such a choice.
#KCACOLS
Maybe they would! It is for you so they should be happy to be in! Lol We did a family photo a few years ago for Nick’s parents anniversary. It was their present so we were the whole family in. It was in a studio but it was also lovely! Xx
Aw Franca, these are beautiful! We’ve had professional pictures of the kids but never a family. The autumn colours look stunning. #KCACOLS
I also love how friendly the photographer was, I bet that made a big difference and allowed you all to relax #KCACOLS
Yes it did make a huge difference to all of us! 🙂 xx
great pictures. WE have professional ones with the boys when they were in their teens. Always such fun to see what happens and how they look #kcacools
Thank you! Yes, it is fun and a lovely memory for us too! 🙂 x
Oh these are just beautiful. We have had a number of professional photos taken, however, always in a studio. These look so natural. #KCACOLS
Thank you Clare xx
These photos are stunning! The colours are so vibrant and beautiful, and your whole family looks so comfortable. The shots are so natural too. How lucky you are to be able to put some of these up on your wall! #KCACOLS
Thank you! We were so pleased with everything. We have just received a wall display with 5 canvas of 5 of the photos from this photoshhot and they look great. I can’t wait to hang them soon! 🙂 xx
What beautiful photos. We did an extended family shoot a few years ago and I love having the photos. I would love to have some professional photos of the family so will have a look at doing this. #KCACOLS
It is very special to do something like this with your family! We really loved the experience and we want to do it again! 🙂 x
The photos are amazing and definitely a great price for everything you get. Did they help in choosing where to have the pictures taken at all during the consultation? #KCACOLS
They were very flexible about location. They let me decide. The idea of going to a nearby park was mine because I was very keen to have a photo with all the leaves. That time of the year is gorgeous for outside photos. Same than Spring. It was a fab experience! 🙂 x
We did after the birth of number 2. We need to do it again as #3 is now 10. Opps! #KCACOLS
Wow what stunning pictures. I love the autumnal colours – oranges, yellows. I especially love the shots with the girls in the tree x #KCACOLS
Thank you! I love those shots too! They look so cute! 🙂 xx
We had a photoshoot just recently, I’m looking forward to doing it again in the summer when it’s warmer though! #kcacols
These are such great pictures!! So beautiful. We were getting family pictures done regularly until we had our second, ugh! We are overdue! Gorgeous family! #KCACOLS
Thank you! We really loved doing this! We had a great time and now our photos are on our wall on display in the living room! Happy times! 🙂 x
Wow Franca these photos are something else. And what a beautiful family you are. I would love to have something creative like this. These are more natural. #kcacols
Thank you! Yes I really like that they were done outside and in a relaxed way! It was a fun experience! I would recommend it 100% xx
You’ve got some wonderful photos from this, the autumn colours are beautiful #KCACOLS
Yes we were lucky that the days was so nice! Thank you, lovely! 🙂 xx
What a lovely photo shoot – am lovely all the autumn colours! #KCACOLS
