It was such a pleasure to be chosen as the Horsley family photographer for this fabulous multi generational family photography session which took place in August on Pitch Hill in Surrey. The hill is special to the family as the grandparents live nearby and enjoy walking there. As you will see the views from the top are spectacular. It’s a beautiful area and a great choice for a Surrey family photo shoot.
We really enjoyed our time together, walking up the hill taking photos in some fun places as we went. The grandparents thoroughly enjoyed spending family time with two of their children, their partners and grandchildren. It was particularly special as one side of the family now live in Canada. I’m sure they will enjoy looking back at these treasured pictures when they are missing each other.
Afterwards the parents commented “The canvases of Mum and Dad and the cousins will remind us all of the lovely summer we have had. Thank you too for the brilliant photos-they really are fantastic!”
It really was my pleasure, thank you for choosing me, I am sure you will enjoy your portraits for years to come. You were all so much fun, it made my job very easy!

Hello!
If you’ve not been on to my site before, welcome! Let me introduce myself. I am a professional Cranleigh photographer covering all of Surrey and surrounding counties. I specialise in bumps, babies, families and headshot photography.
When I first get an enquiry I like to chat to you about exactly what you are looking for. For instance how best can I meet your needs. This family session is a great example of a family enjoying spending time together. Furthermore it’s a place that is special to them. In this instance Pitch Hill which you may know is just above Cranleigh. I was so pleased they picked this spot as I love going there with my family too.
On the day
We met up in the car park. After that we started to climb and enjoyed getting to know each other. Meanwhile the children showed me their favourite places to play. With a family session I tend to take a variety of pictures that represent your family at this stage in your children’s lives. There are plenty of opportunities for family photos. Plus hildren’s portraits by themselves and together and of course lots with mummy and daddy.
Each session is very fluid, I know what combinations I want to get. But it’s always fun to see how the pictures develop throughout the session! I really enjoyed having their much loved dog along too! One of my favourite pictures is the one of the dog running towards me with the family in the background. So cute! The family are so lovely and it was clear to see how well the siblings get on together. There is a close bond between them all. It was so sweet. I think we walked for well over two hours because we were so busy chatting and enjoying our time together!
Review
I was thrilled to read this 5 * review the family kindly posted on google after.
“From the moment we got in touch with Nicola everything was very professional and well organised. On the day of the shoot Nicola was able to put everyone at ease and captured the most stunning pictures including our dog. When it was time to choose the pictures it was a difficult job. But Nicola had taken so many lovely ones and Nicola was able to offer helpful guidance on framing. Friends and family who have seen the framed pictures have all commented on how lovely they are. I would recommend Nicola in a heart beat. Thank you for making it such a special occasion for us.”
It was my pleasure guys, thank you so much for choosing me, you know I loved our session, you were brilliant! Keep in touch

I absolutely loved this Guildford baby photo shoot. I undertook the session a couple of weeks ago at some beautiful local gardens. We met early on a warm sunday morning. It was just outside Guildford in Surrey for the baby photo shoot. After meeting, we enjoyed spending time getting to know each other and finding the best way of capturing their family enjoying time together. We had a great time exploring the gardens which were looking absolutely stunning. I wish my garden looked as good as this. I think I might have to have another read of my gardening book as I am not sure I naturally have such green fingers!
The babies were so alert taking in their new surroundings. They were very easy going and clearly happy enjoying time with doting mummy and daddy.
The gorgeous twins are only 11 months old. Can you believe that the little girl has just started walking! I am sure her brother will not be far behind once he sees the fun she is having getting to whatever she wants so quickly! I could not believe it, I don’t think I have ever seen a baby walk that early. My daughter was only on the verge of crawling at this stage!
Planning
A few days before the session we scheduled a FaceTime call to help the family make some decisions on what to wear. They talked me through some options and we played about with some colours and different combinations. When they turned up I was pleased that my advice had helped. I am thrilled that the family loved their pictures so much. They found it too hard to narrow down their choice to just their favourites so they chose to take all the pictures, and what a wonderful record it will be in years to come!
If you are looking for advice on what to wear. Do follow the link so that you can be informed for your session. For more information on family sessions including examples on past sessions that I have blogged, follow the links. Or contact me to chat further . I look forward to hearing from you

Are you looking for a family photographer Cobham? Do call, I would love to be able to help. I photograph families all over Surrey and beyond. Obviously I was delighted to be able to help this fun family to capture them enjoying family time. After initial discussions on locations the family chose Wisley Gardens in Surrey. It is stunning all year round there. The gardening team did an amazing job. Membership is incredibly good value. My children also adore it. They have so many fun activities during the holidays aimed at the under 10s. Do check out this website for what’s coming up next holidays.
We had a lovely time exploring the gardens, admiring the flowers that were looking absolutely stunning. It was a real treat to show the family their portraits during the viewing session a few days later. I was delighted to hear the family’s thoughts on the session.
Kind thoughts after their session
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nicola. She made the process very easy from start to finish. She managed to capture some incredible images from the day. We are so pleased with the outcome. Her knowledge on compositions and how to bring out the best with each of us was really unique. Especially with two very young children. It could have quickly turned into a disaster. This knowledgeable and personal approach continued whilst choosing images, frames and mountings. We will definitely be using Nicola in the years to come.”
Thank you so much it was my pleasure please do keep in touch.

I was so excited for this Woking family photo shoot. On the morning I just knew it was going to be great fun. It certainly did not disappoint! I really enjoyed spending time with the family who clearly are very close. It was so sweet to see the way that mummy and daddy interacted with their boys. They were so smiley and happy that it did make my job very easy!
I had a lovely email from the family after. “We are absolutely delighted with the images you have captured. I can’t stop looking at them. Beautiful! We are very happy with what you have sent through to us. Thank you so much for your patience. It was a wonderful experience and we will cherish the photos and memories we have from that day.”
Thank you so much, it really was my pleasure. I hope I can be part of documenting your boys journey through childhood.
I can’t believe we are almost at the end of the long school summer holidays. If you’re a parent with school aged children. I do hope you have enjoyed spending time with your children as much as I have. It’s always a bit of a juggle trying to fit in fun days out with my children. Whilst also fulfilling my commitments as a family photographer but somehow with early starts and late nights I can make it work. It’s always worth it when I see my own children’s faces. When we are enjoying time when we go on bike rides, trips to the beach and country walks.
We didn’t go abroad this summer deciding instead to have various short holidays within the UK. We were so lucky that of all the years to do this, it was one that was filled with almost wall-to-wall sunshine which did make a massive difference! If you’re looking for a great family holiday in the UK, I can really recommend the Isle of Wight, and the Peak District.
If you would like to discuss a Woking family photo shoot please do get in contact. I photograph families outdoors throughout Surrey and surrounding counties and would love to hear from you.

I loved being asked back as the Worplesdon family photographer for one of my most fun families. Always a treat! I have had the pleasure to photograph this gorgeous family on three separate occasions. Which included a Christmas card session for them. It was great fun, getting out the tinsel and Christmas lights! I always know I am going to laugh ALOT when I see them!
When their daughter was 5, the family started the tradition of having a family portrait lying on the ground every five years. The first time I met them was in 2013, when their daughter was 15. So you can see the difference over the last five years now she is 20! (compare the top two photos!) Their gorgeous daughter has matured from a beautiful girl to a stunning and delightful young lady. She is ready for University in September! I can’t quite believe where those 5 years have gone.
Spending time with these guys made me think about my children. They seem to be growing up far too fast, on the brink of 8 and 10!
Kind words
The family said after. ” We love working with Nicola, she is always fun and patient. This is our third session with Nicola. She is simply amazing at capturing family life, I can’t recommend her highly enough”.
Thank you so much. I think you know what a treat it is to capture your family and your pets too! I was pleased that their cat was still around so of course we had to take some pictures with him. Plus there was a new addition to the family, a rather lovable big dog! I do enjoy including our furry friends!

If you’ve not been on my site before, let me introduce myself. I am a professional photographer in Guildford. Capturing families all over Surrey and beyond. During the photography shoot I want to record the love and connections between you and your family. A whispered secret, a ride on Daddy’s shoulders, a tickle with Mummy. These all fit together and help me capture your style, your personalities and your family story. Every family is different so every family photography session is specifically planned around you. Whether that be capturing your blooming bump, littles ones, bigger ones, or extended family birthday gathering!
Below is a great example of a family session, that I had the pleasure to capture last month. It took place in some beautiful local gardens. The children were so delightful and with such beautiful grounds to explore, the sun shining we couldn’t help but have fun capturing them enjoying family time together.
Google review
I was so thrilled to read this google review after their session…
“The family shoot with Nicola was an amazing experience. She kept in touch right from the day of booking. She suggested to us the best venue and guided us through what to wear. I wasn’t expecting such a smooth and fuss free session..with a toddler and a 9 year old, who are not really interested in giving a pose or a proper smile in front of the camera. Nicola is superb with kids…and took the most beautiful pictures of them. She took 500+ pictures and within just a day she was ready with the best pictures for our viewing.
During the viewing session she listened to our ideas and suggested the best possible products to choose from. I can’t thank her enough for helping us make such beautiful memories!!! I highly recommend Nicola for a family shoot especially with toddlers. You wouldn’t want to miss her goodies and tricks from the bag to entertain the children!!!!’
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means so much to me!

Guildford Photographer
On warm summer days like these when I head ‘off to work’ it really seems to me that being a Guildford photographer is the BEST job in the world. I get to meet so many gorgeous families from all over Surrey and beyond. This fabulous family from Guildford were such good fun a couple of weekends ago. Their daughters are delightful so with the sun shinning, the beautiful garden to explore, and much loved pets at the ready, we had the perfect ingredients for a family photography shoot! We really enjoyed exploring the garden, being guided by the girls to their favourite spots. I rather fancied spending the rest of the morning in that hammock!
The family are a great example of what to wear for a family photography shoot. Your clothing is a really important part of the overall look and feel of your portraits. Simple clothing choices are best for creating a timeless look. It’s good to show your individual style and personality through the clothes you select, but remember clothing should compliment your look, not complicate it!
Kind Review
I had a very kind review from the family after “We are thrilled with the photos that Nicola took. She made us feel so relaxed when she was taking the pictures and it was a really enjoyable morning. The final results are fantastic. We had so many beautiful photos to choose from and Nicola helped with advice on sizes and frames and the final results are fantastic. She has captured some wonderful, natural shots and we couldn’t be more delighted. We’d highly recommend using Nicola – we now have beautiful family photographs we can treasure forever.”
Thank you so much, I loved your session and am sure you will enjoy your portraits for years to come.
