Are you looking for a Children’s photographer in Surrey? I would be delighted to help….
Can you hear the giggles from the children in this fun photography session? This really is what it’s all about, fun, laughter and plenty of running about! I believe that children need to be outdoors having the freedom to allow their personalities to shine through. I want to record the love and connections between you and your family. For example this might be a little whispered secret or riding on Daddy’s shoulders. Perhaps a cuddle with Mummy, playing with your favourite toys or much loved book. These all fit together and help me capture your style, your personalities and your family story.
I loved meeting this gorgeous Guildford based family for their photography shoot a few weeks ago, it really was so lovely to spend time with them. We took a walk around the gardens letting the children lead us. It’s always better to let them be in charge!
Kind Thoughts
Mum, Helen said after ‘It was a delight to have Nicola take our family photos. In addition, the morning went really smoothly. Which is impressive considering we were trying to get two toddlers to co-operate! Furthermore at the viewing the presentation of the photos was very organised. It made the whole process of choosing photos and frames very easy and a lot of fun. We couldn’t believe how many photos we loved. Also how well Nicola captured our children’s characters. We will definitely use her again in the future.’
Thank you for your kind words, that’s made my day Helen! Please do keep in touch and I look forward to seeing you in the future I hope!
If you’d like some further information please contact me – I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you looking for a family photographer Surrey? I hope this example of a recent photoshoot might help you decide if I am the right photographer for you.
It was great to revisit one of my favourite venues a few weeks ago to capture this gorgeous family from Clandon in Surrey. I really enjoyed helping Natasha prepare for the photoshoot. We did a FaceTime call to look at clothing options. This enabled her to feel ready and relaxed as the day approached. During the family photoshoot we had plenty of time to enjoy capturing them as a family, and it was such a treat to have their Grandpa along to share in the fun. I love have multi generations on a photo shoot. I have such sweet precious pictures of my parents with my children. We have the pictures up around the house and often take comfort from them when they are so far away.
If you are looking for inspiration for what to wear please see my advice page or contact me.
Kind words
Natasha said after, “Nicola was amazing from start to finish! She made everything so easy and relaxed for our family photo shoot with our two young boys and worked miracles to get such a wonderful collection of photos that we are thrilled with. Her advice ahead of the shoot and help in our choice of images to frame and display has made the whole process so easy. Thank you so much, the whole thing has been so enjoyable.”
Thanks for your kind words, it really was my pleasure! Keep in touch and hope to see you again soon.

Are you looking for a family or children’s photographer in Guildford Surrey? I would love to help you….
Oh my goodness what a cutie this little girl is! I adored meeting her and her parents for their Surrey family photography session at one of my favourite venues. She was wearing her Christening dress which her parents wanted to capture to help them remember the special day a few weeks before. The dress was stunning and she really did look at cute as a button! I can remember seeing my children in their christening dress. I think I probably cried! Our family dress is very delicate as it’s been passed through about 5 generations and many many babies have worn it! It is safely stored away now for the next generation which probably won’t be for another 15 years or so!
As you can see this little girl had a wonderful sense of fun and such a sweet nature which made the session very easy as we walked around the gardens, even allowing them to have a clothes change towards the end! It’s clear to see the close bond between them and I am delighted with the final portraits.
Mum said after “We had such great fun shooting with Nicola and she captured the cheeky personality of our daughter perfectly. There were so many good photos, it was hard to pick! Thank you for our wonderful memories”
My pleasure, I really enjoyed our time together. Keep in touch and I hope to see you again soon!

I was so pleased to hear from James and Debbie. They wanted to book a maternity photography session in Guildford with me in early August. They chose Newlands Corner just outside Guildford. It is a special place that they enjoy taking their much loved dogs for weekend walkies! With such magnificent views we were spoilt for choice for backdrops for the maternity photography session. The dogs clearly enjoyed the fresh air! The lovely couple wanted to capture this special time as they eagerly await the arrival of their precious baby. I am thrilled to say they are booked in for their newborn pictures so watch this space for an update soon!
Wishing you all the best in the next few weeks guys. I can’t wait to see from you.
Next Steps
I take maternity photography sessions when you reach about 35 weeks. You’ve got an impressive bump and still feel reasonably comfortable. We don’t have to move about too much on the sessions, it’s up to you really. These guys were great walkers and fit! But we can have lots of rests too!
If you’d like to see some recent maternity or baby portraits. Please do view the galleries of bumps and babies. Or have a look at some past blogs featuring recent sessions. There is also a page on my past Clients kind words so you can hear for yourself what it’s like to capture your precious memories. If you’d like some further information please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

It was great to catch up with these siblings from Guildford in Surrey for their second teenage portrait photographer session with me. It’s so lovely to see so many returning families. It’s great to build a relationship with the family and be part of documenting their journey to adulthood. I always enjoy the variety of people I photograph from bumps, to babies. Then through to toddlers, young children, teens and adult professionals. It’s fun to mix it up! In a typical week I am photographing all of these different groups!
My August sessions are full, but I have limited availability in September and October, so get in touch soon if you’re looking for a professional photographer. Many thanks.

It was such a pleasure to be chosen as the Ewhurst photographer for this happy couple from Surrey. Chris and Peter had recently got married at the beautiful church in Ewhurst, and they asked me to take a few pictures to remember their happy union as they didn’t have an official photographer on the big day itself! Of course I said yes as it was a real treat to hear their story and spend time with them recording the celebration of marriage. We took some pictures both outside and inside the church then a few at home which rather handily is right next door! I really enjoyed myself and do hope they keep in touch.
Congratulations to Chris and Peter! Wishing you many years of love and laughter together.

I was so looking forward to travelling to Horsham West Sussex to be the family photographer. This was for a special baby session with one of the loveliest families in all of Sussex! I have got to know the family quite well over the last few years. It’s always a treat to catch up and spend time with them. Here is a
link to their baby session with me 6 months ago.

The strong bond they have with their dear little daughter Scarlett is so clear to see. I could literally feel their boundless love for this little cutie. Scarlett was such great fun and just loved playing with Mummy and Daddy. She is almost one and her happy personality shines through.
Dad said after, “Thank you for another fantastic photography session. As always we enjoyed the experience immensely and we are delighted with the results. We will treasure the pictures and we cant wait to receive the finished portraits.”
Me too! I can’t wait to see you all for your next session in March when I think Scarlett will be walking!

Family Photographer Guildford Surrey
It was so lovely to meet be chosen as the family photographer Guildford Surrey for this family photography shoot. They were such good fun and the children had a brilliant time. Early on, it was clear that the little boy had a great love of nature. So we were very excited to find so many bugs in the garden including a stunning green rose beetle! (We had to google it I admit!)
We really enjoyed playing around, running, joking and climbing trees!
The family were thrilled with their pictures when they saw them at their viewing. They have chosen some gorgeous frames. I will be very excited to hand them over next week! The viewing is a very relaxed and personal experience. You can sit comfortably and see your pictures on a large screen. In addition I have some clever software to allow your to narrow down your favourites and visualise these in a selection of frames. You can see some examples of that below.
The whole precess from enquiry, to preparation, shoot and viewing is a relaxed and fun tailored experience for each family.
Next Steps
Summer sessions are almost full, I have a few sessions left in August (July is full). So if you’re still thinking about a summer Surrey family photography session, get in touch soon!

How cute is this little chap?! He really did so well for his Reigate family photographer shoot at his home in Surrey. His doting parents were so sweet with him and their sense of fun was clearly appreciated by him! At just under one his personality shines through in these precious portraits. I am sure that will bring so much pleasure to look back at these early days when he’s as tall as Daddy! We moved around their garden, including taking one in front of the house and by the front gate. It would be really fun to recreate these every year!
We take pictures on our front door step every September. We all hold hands and see how much the children have grown in twelve months. When we have about 20 I will make them into a big collage. I suspect I will be the shortest when we get to that stage! The children seem to grow too quickly. Blink and there are another few centimetres added to their heights! My son in particular seems to be eating a lot more. I don’t think it’ll be long before we are no longer getting the children’s meal at Pizza Express!
What to bring
It’s fun to bring along some favourite toys like books. Alternatively maybe some building blocks or teddy to your family photography shoot. It’s so special to remember what they liked to play with at that age as you forget so quickly! I still haven’t thrown away my children’s toys. Each time I look at the them, they bring back a memory. I will put them up in the loft for our grandchildren (hopefully!) one day.
If you’d like some further information please contact me – I look forward to hearing from you.
