Natural Family Photoshoot In and Around Leicester, Nottingham, Derby
Fun, natural family photography that creates authentic portraits and lasting memories for you and your children.
Authentic Family Portraits: No need to say cheese or strike awkward poses
There’s no rush, no pressure, and no stress. If a child—or an adult—doesn’t want to play, smile, or look at the camera, that’s perfectly OK.
As an experienced family photographer, I love capturing candid moments and natural interactions. I bring games, ideas, and surprises, and I’m always open to the kids’ ideas too, ensuring everyone feels happy and relaxed. It’s a blend of gentle suggestions, candid moments, group shots, and individual portraits—including pets.
Value of Professional Family Portraits
You know it’s true: in the blink of an eye, they’ve grown up. We only get 18 summers with them, and we miss them already. Professional photos capture those fleeting moments and the relationships that matter most, ensuring you are in the pictures too. These photos help you recall their smell, giggles, shyness, daringness, uniqueness, and all the little things that melt your heart. And as they grow, they’ll treasure seeing how you looked at them, the love in your expressions, and the connection you shared.
From maternity and birth to old age, including grandparents and older generations, through illness and farewells, every stage of life deserves to be remembered. Whatever special needs or conditions, everyone matters, and memories are truly priceless.
Outdoors and At-Home Family Portrait Sessions
We can visit your favourite locations across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire. I’m also available for photography in Birmingham and other locations—just ask!
For newborns, maternity photos, or when the weather isn’t ideal, we can shoot indoors at your home, provided there’s enough space and light. I’m also happy to photograph at the hospital if needed.
Whether it’s sisters, mum and daughter, grandparents, best friends, or multiple generations, there’s no limit on the number of people—especially when we incorporate drone photography. And yes, outfit changes are absolutely fine! I’m here to help you choose what works best for your photos.
As an experienced pet photographer, I’m delighted to include your furry friends in the session. Bring along anything that makes you happy, whether it’s a musical instrument, dressing up, or a picnic. Involve the children in planning—they’ll love suggesting activities and leading the way!
