Make your memories last with a family portrait

My family photography is about showing the innocence of children and capturing the love and emotion of families being together. My photography style is natural photo's of children laughing and having fun showing the interaction between the child and the parent’s or carers showing the bond between them.

All children of all abilities are welcome at my studio, if your child has a disability please call me to discuss how I can make the shoot as comfortable as possible for them. I do use strobe flash lights in my studio which needs to be considered if anyone in the family has epilepsy or is light sensitive.

By appointment only

All our family photography is booked in advance, each shoot is bespoke and designed around each individual family's needs and wishes. By having a set time for your shoot ensures I am free and allows me to plan your shoot, arrange for any props or MUA to be available and book the photoshoot for a time which suits you and your family. We have payment options to suit you, ask about paying by instalments.

Studio photography

At my family portrait studio I offer a relaxed and fun shoot which generally lasts approx 1hr, we go at the pace of the children so we can stop and start depending on their needs. During the shoot I will take a range of pictures of your children on their own, with parents, with grandma or with the family dog.

Photography outside at a beach or having fun on a woodland walk

Book a family portrait shoot at my studio in Colchester or invite me a long for a family walk in the beautiful Essex countryside and I can take shots of the family having fun, playing games and walking together.
