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?
*Disclosure: We received a complimentary service from Splento for the purpose of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

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!
amomentwithfranca says
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
Shan says
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

Oh it is never too late! You should do it! It would be lovely! X
Veronica Lee says
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.
Veronica Lee says
Oops! I forgot the #kcacols tag.
amomentwithfranca says
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

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
amomentwithfranca says
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

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
amomentwithfranca says
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
Helen - From Mummy to Mum says
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
amomentwithfranca says
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
Lydia C. Lee says
We did after the birth of number 2. We need to do it again as #3 is now 10. Opps! #KCACOLS
