What a delightful time I had photographing these gorgeous siblings last month at Wisley Gardens. I first met their parents a few years ago when they were looking for a children’s portrait photographer Guildford to capture them in a natural and relaxed way, enjoying time together. So I was delighted to be asked to capture them again this time focusing on the children.
It’s always a treat to be asked to photograph a family again. I love seeing how much children have grown up. It still surprises me every time I see the difference just a few years can make. When you see your own children and their friends every day you don’t really notice it, but they’re changing all the time.
I had such a delightful time with the family on the day, the children were such good fun. We really enjoyed admiring the gardens in full bloom. We enjoyed piggyback races, running races, some tree climbing and lots of other fun things. It was a very smiley session and very easy for me! As you can see the children were beautifully dressed, so well coordinated. I assumed this would be the case as the Mummy has a great eye for fashion and colour and is a personal stylist and make-up artist, so she didn’t really need any top tips from my ‘What to wear guide‘!

What a fantastic time I had on a beautiful Saturday morning on this gorgeous family photoshoot Haslemere for this lovely family of six. The family were great fun and with children ranging from 16 down to 4 we were all kept very busy. We moved through lots of different combinations of each parent with each child, lots of lovely siblings shots and of course big group family shots. It was a very fun session and the children did a brilliant job. I was so pleased that the family were delighted with their final portraits. They have chosen some gorgeous frames and I can’t wait to get them delivered. I had a lovely 5 star review from the family after their viewing.
“Nicola made the session fun and yet made sure we covered all the bases in terms of family combinations. She coped well with the madness of six of us (which included both a four year old and a child with special needs) and managed to get a lot of special shots which we will treasure.”
Thank you, it really was my pleasure, I really enjoyed it and it was a very rewarding session. If you’re looking for a family photoshoot Haslemere then please do get in contact. The family photoshoot can take place somewhere that is special to you like your garden or a park or local woods. Or if there is nowhere in particular, I’m happy to make some suggestions. Sessions last about two hours but it’s very much led by the children, so it’s a very flexible.

Are you looking for a Cranleigh Surrey family photographer? I hope this blog post might give you a better insight into the style of my photograph. It’s what I offer to happy families all over Surrey.
Last week I undertook this very special family photography session which celebrated 50 years of marriage between John and Liz! What an amazing achievement. They were joined for the weekend by their son and family. The garden of their home near Cranleigh in Surrey, was an obvious choice for their special celebration shoot.
The bluebells were still blooming. So we took advantage of taking some of the pictures in the carpet of blue that surrounded us on our walk. The boys were great fun and did a good job in leading us around the woods showing me some of their favourite spots as we walked. As you may have spotted it was very special to have along their much loved dog. She was very excited about her morning walk! I love including pets, so don’t be shy about including them! I’ve had so many different animals included in shoots…dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, chickens, pigs, deer and cows to name but a few!

Family Photography Cobham
Are you looking for family photography Cobham or perhaps Guildford, Woking or other surrounding towns? I cover all areas in Surrey and surrounding counties and would love to hear from you.
I had such fun in the woods amongst the glorious bluebells for this Cobham family photography session last month. The family are currently living in the UK but are originally from South Africa. For their shoot they wanted to find a location that had a quintessential English setting. I suggested Cucknell’s Wood because what personifies springtime in England more than a carpet of bluebells!
The children were fantastic right from the start. They had bucket loads of smiles, fun and their own ideas. We enjoyed a circular walk that took us past some interesting spots that we chose to play about on. Having got to know the family throughout the morning, I think that the set of pictures really represents the family dynamic and encapsulates their personalities. It was joy to hear the parents’ thoughts during their viewing session. I am looking forward to hearing what they think of their frame and canvas in a few weeks time!
I was thrilled to receive a 5* review on goggle after the session “Our family had a wonderful time making memories – with Nicola Light Photography.”
If you are looking for a family photographer in Cobham or Surrey do get in touch, I would be delighted to hear more about your family and how I can best capture you. If you would like to read more information see my family page or check out my family gallery or blog posts.

I was very excited when Margaret hired me to be the family Surrey photographer for her last month! The family live in my village of Cranleigh, near Guildford in Surrey. So I popped over a few days before to look at the garden and advise on wardrobe. What to wear is a key element of any photoshoot! It’s the one I get asked about most! In addition we talked about what combinations of people she would like me to capture. It was a big group, but with our plan to hand we easily got all the pictures we wanted…and more! I can’t quite believe I captured so much in just two hours. It’s a credit to the children for being so amazing! I loved the setting too, which was the local Fisheries (conveniently located at the end of Margaret’s garden!). It’s a hidden haven unless you are in the know!
Margaret emailed to say after. “We were all delighted with the quality and the way you have captured the character of the families with your artistic flair.”
Thank you Margaret, my pleasure!

Surrey Mini Photography Session
I love getting feedback from clients, it helps me to respond to people’s needs and allows me to mix up what I offer to people. Recently there has been a demand in mini photography sessions. These are great for people who are in a small group (maximum of four people) and are looking for a short photo shoot and selecting just a few digital files.
The session takes place in the studio garden or the woods very close to the studio. This allows us to do the shooting part in around 30 minutes, and go back to the studio. After that we then look through the files straightaway. Subsequently you choose 10 files as part of the mini package. However you are welcome to choose more if you wish.
More information
Further information on mini photography sessions can be found on my mini information page.
The session below is a lovely example of a Surrey mini photography session. This gorgeous mum and her two boys were such good fun on our short walk through Winterfold Woods. It was an extremely misty morning so there wasn’t much of a view! However we still enjoyed a lovely walk and got a super set of pictures that will remind her of this stage of her boys’ lives.
The family were thrilled with their pictures and generously left me a 5* rating on google reviews!
Please do get in touch if you would like to talk about or book a mini photography session for your family.

Are you looking for Guildford Baby Photographer Surrey?
It was so lovely to photograph baby Ethan and family from Guildford in Surrey. I had photographed the family a month before when Mummy Liezel was 8 months pregnant so it was great to meet the new arrival. The family are doing very well and enjoying settling in to life as a family of four.
Testimonial
I had a lovely testimonial from Liezel after:
This was our second photoshoot with Nicola. Once again I was blown away by the amazing photos she took. Getting a 3 year old to pose for photos with her newborn brother was not easy. But Nicola managed to capture the most beautiful moments. We are absolutely thrilled to have so many lovely photos of this special time in our family.”
My pleasure Liezel! I am looking forward to capturing your family again for your final session on my year long baby programme.

Are you looking for a professional family photographer Dorking?
I cover all the Dorking area plus surrounding towns across Surrey, including Guildford where I am based. I am happy for you to choose the location for your shoot or I can make some suggestions.
This session was such good fun at Wisley Gardens. On this occasion, the family were happy to go with my suggestion. Wisley is absolutely stunning all year round. There are always pockets of colour whenever you go, so you’re guaranteed to have a lovely time and get some beautiful portraits.
I really enjoyed my time with the family. We started off by chatting and finding out what sort of portraits the family were looking for. After, we took a gentle walk around the gardens stopping wherever the little girl fancied. It’s important not to have too much of a prescriptive morning planned, but rather see where the moment takes us.
Kind Reviews
I had a lovely email from the family following their viewing session: “Thank you for showing us the pictures last night, you did a wonderful job of capturing us all!”
I was also thrilled to read their five star review on Google “Nicola was great! She captured my 3 year old daughters energy and really caught the connection she has with the rest of our family so well in the photographs.”
It was my absolute pleasure meeting you all and capturing you together. If you are looking for a professional family photographer Dorking or other areas, please do get in touch to discuss your needs. There are plenty of other examples of family sessions on my blog. Or if you wish to read more about family sessions follow the link. I look forward to hearing from you.

Patience is key if you’re a Surrey children’s photographer, and luckily I have bucket loads! Parents often worry about how their children will behave on the shoot. Particularly if they’ve not met me before, are shy or just quite young! But I always say to parents, please don’t worry as it’s a very relaxed shoot. We take the direction from the children, see what they are comfortable wit. Where they’d like to go and see how the shoot develops! I have a bag full of puppets, games, bubbles and a few smarties. So there’s always something to amuse the children with, so we have fun and can capture some relaxed natural emotions.
This family shoot was great fun. The kids were in charge so we followed them around the gardens as they discovered lots of different flowers and met some friendly ducks! The session was bought as a gift for the family so it was a lovely surprise for them and a great opportunity to capture their beautiful family at this exciting time.

I loved being the Guildford portrait photographer for this delightful family. They are from Shere just east of Guildford in Surrey. Their daughter is so was sweet and playful, that the session couldn’t have been more lovely. They wanted to retrace the steps of their favourite places that they visit on family walks on the weekend. So with wellies on and the sun shining we took a wander along the side of the stream. Then let the mood take us!
I am quite familiar with the area as we live only a few miles away. So we often enjoy walks along here with our children. I was delighted to be shown a new path that leads up to an amazing view point and fabulous swing that I was rather tempted to try! We love a secret little woods than only locals know about. I will enjoy a walk up there again another day! There’s a lovely pub at the top of the hill so even more reason for a Sunday walk with a reward at the end!
Kind Review
I had a lovely 5* review from the family after. “Not only is Nicola extremely talented at what she does, but she’s warm and fun and made our shoot feel like a normal family morning together. Our five year old loved it and we are delighted with the results. An amazing combination of images that capture the fun we had on the day. Also reflecting our little girl as we see her (not an awkward pose or fake smile in sight!). The only difficulty was choosing the prints. Fortunately for us Nicola gives great advice on that too (and has a good supply of tea and biscuits!). Thank you, Nicola. We look forward to working with you again.”
It was my pleasure and would be a treat to capture you again, thank you!
