What a fabulous way to finish 2018 with this gorgeous Cranleigh family photo shoot. I had had the pleasure of photographing the family before. So I knew it was going to be a very fun session.
The main focus was on capturing the four cousins together enjoying time in the woods. This was a ‘mini’ family photo shoot so shorter than my full sessions. Therefore we worked hard to pack in as much as possible in thirty minutes. Which included taking some pictures of the children together, plus some individual portraits and sibling shots. The colours in the woods still looked gorgeous proving you really can shoot all year round! As this was a mini session the family came straight back to the studio after to look through the portraits. They saw the pictures on the big screen. Then they decided which were their favourites which I then edited within a few days. A mini session is a more economical shorter version of my full family sessions.
The photos were going to be a Christmas gift for grandparents. I am sure were very happy to receive such beautiful portraits.
If you are interested in a mini family session for your family, do get in touch to chat further. Or perhaps check out my mini family photography session page for further information.
I am now back in full swing with Cranleigh family photo shoot. I am very excited to see that my diary is filling up with a lovely mixture of returning clients and new ones! It’s always interesting to meet new people.

Are you looking for a Guildford family photo shoot? I took such pleasure in capturing this gorgeous family of five for their Guildford family photo shoot last month at Winkworth Arboretum. The kids were fabulous, so much fun, I am sure the parents were very proud of them!
The autumn colours were sensational! The views around every corner were stunning. It certainly made my job very easy! We had such fun discovery little pathways, stepping stones, logs to jump off and having running races. We all needed a sit down at the end!
I love this time of year, the leaves seem to change through a kaleidoscope of colours literally day to day. The light is so soft and flattering, it’s fun to play around with it on a family photo shoot.

These guys totally rocked their Godalming family photo shoot! The twins are only three and were a little bit apprehensive to start with, so I took time to get to know them, worked out what they wanted to do, and the session soon started to flow! We had great fun admiring the autumn colours, exploring the woods and playground and having a leaf fight!
During their viewing I was overjoyed to hear them say “this was the shot I envisioned when planning the shoot”. (I did a little fist pump I have to admit!) It’s so satisfying to know you’ve met (and hopefully exceeded) your clients vision, so I was thrilled to know how much they will enjoy their portraits in years to come.
I had a lovely 5* review from the family after: “We had a wonderful morning with Nicola at Winkworth. We arrived with our 3 year old twins who were a bit tired and cranky but Nicola coaxed them along with her bag of tricks and her funny faces and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final results- we love her natural style of photographynym. She was a pleasure to spend time with and she worked her magic with our children”
Thank you so much for your kind review. It really means so much to read your thoughts on the session. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and do hope that you keep in touch so that I can document the twins journey through childhood.

I really enjoyed this autumn family photo shoot in Godalming, Surrey. We took the pictures at Winkworth Arboretum which looks spectacular in October and November. Each year the colours are a riot of reds, oranges and yellows and it’s no wonder it attracts visitors from far and wide to admire one of natures finest displays of autumnal colours.
The family are absolutely delightful, and we had such a lovely time from start to finish. The boys are so sweet and playful together which made the session very easy. We really enjoyed playing in the leaves, climbing trees and having some running races. All good family fun enjoying the outdoors with a welcoming helping of sunshine.
After the shoot the family kindly gave me a five star review. “Nicola captured so many amazing and very natural shots while on an enjoyable walk at Winkworth. She knew exactly the right locations to get fantastic family photos with an array of autumn colours. I particularly loved her bag of tricks to help the kids smile more naturally! Nicola also made the viewing experience easy and enjoyable, helping me to create two large wonderful multi frames that are due to have pride of place in our family room.”
Thank you for your kind words, I really enjoyed your session and thrilled you love your frames!

It was so lovely getting to know this gorgeous family on the morning of their photography shoot. They were looking for a Leatherhead family photographer to capture them at home with their delightful children aged 15 and 13. The morning was very easy just enjoying time in their garden on a glorious warm and bright autumnal day.
We moved round the garden, taking in some of their favourite spots and making the most of the soft light.
It’s nice to use somewhere special to you – perhaps a park, play area, your garden or local woods. Or alternatively I am happy to suggest a suitable location depending on the time of year. Perhaps we can play around in the daffodils in March, walk amongst the bluebells in May, pick apples in August, kick up the autumn leaves and climb trees in October! I undertake family photography shoots all over Surrey, Berkshire and West Sussex. It’s all about capturing your family having fun and doing what you enjoy together as a family. As soon as we confirm your date and location, I will send you a comprehensive ‘Guide to preparing for your session’. This has plenty of tips like ‘What to wear for your family photography session’ to ensure you are ready on the day.
Framing Ideas
Before this family’s viewing session I took time to create some examples of what their portraits would look like in different single frames and multiframes. This really helps the family to consider how they can display their favourites in their home. Of course these ideas are just a starting point, but it’s a useful way of getting some inspiration.

I enjoyed this Surrey family photo shoot I took over the summer in some beautiful local gardens. Their little boy was certainly the star of the day! I love scouting out gorgeous places to shoot. Sometimes a family chooses somewhere special to them. However if there’s isn’t anywhere in particular, I am happy to suggest options. For example I have checked out fabulous places for particular times of year as the countryside changes so much! You’ll often find me in bluebells woods in the spring, local gardens in the summer and arboretums in the autumn! All wonderful locations for a Surrey family photo shoot.
I’ve been flat out with sessions all over Surrey throughout the year. But I am finally catching up on some of the Surrey family photo shoot sessions. I didn’t have time to blog about at the time! It seems so long ago since our fabulous long hot summer. We almost took it for granted when there were so many warm sunny days, we were quite spoilt. It certainly made my life easy being an outdoor photographer. No worrying about the rain! The only problem was sometimes keeping cool! But I often met clients early in the morning so we could take the photos before the temperature rose too high. This was certainly the case for this family photo shoot.
The mother said afterwards. “We had a great time and were very appreciative of all your hard work. Not an easy task when it’s so hot!” My pleasure, I think we all did well keeping cool in the shadier parts of the garden! The family came in to see their pictures a few weeks after their photo shoot and chose a beautiful frame and some digital files that they loved!

Family Photographer Bramley
This gorgeous family were looking for a family photographer Bramley to capture them for their annual Christmas card. The family have recently relocated from America back to England so no doubt they will have lots of cards to write to help stay in touch with friends both sides of the Atlantic. The shoot was shorter than usual as they just wanted to focus on family portraits, sibling portraits, and individual portraits. Usually I would have added in other combinations such as each of the children with each parent, parents together, pets etc, however I’m happy to fit in with your brief as my sessions are totally bespoke and individual for each family’s needs. The main thing is that I get it right for you.
If you are looking for a family photographer Bramley, or other towns, villages around Surrey and beyond you may wish to check out my information page on family sessions, have a look at some examples of my work in the family galleries, or check out past family sessions on my blog. Do get in contact to chat further, I look forward to hearing from you.
I have very limited availability for sessions this year, but I am happy to take bookings for 2019 which is already looking like it will be a very busy year! You may wish to consider one of my Christmas photography vouchers. These are on offer for £95, and are valid for any family sessions taken in 2019.

Hello!
Thanks for looking around. I offer professional family photography Guildford to families and small businesses. I have been working professional for the last seven years. Having studied digital photography at East Surrey College I went on to qualify with the Guild of Photographers in 2012.
It was such a treat being the Professional photographer for this gorgeous family from Guildford in Surrey.
It was their second shoot with me this year. A few months ago I captured their youngest daughter just a few weeks after being born. So it was lovely to catch up and be able to capture the whole family on this occasion! We had a lovely time, with plenty of laughter and running about, we all deserved a cup of tea at the end!
I love the little cyclamens that are popping up all over the place. Have you noticed any? They are such a pretty pink and white colour.
