I adored this large family photography session. It took place in the gardens of
St Augustine’s Abbey in Blackheath near Guildford in Surrey. It was a very special place for the couple as they got married here in the 90s! They had an idea to use a Surrey professional photographer to capture them all those years later. Of course this time it was with their three children and two of their fiances! Little would they have known how wondferul their marriage path would be. Or how blessed they’d be with three gorgeous children and their partners. It was fun recreating their pose from their wedding day in the Abbey arch.
Mum kindly said after. ” For my husband’s 60th birthday, we decided to organise a family photo shoot in the grounds of the church where we were married. Nicola was very creative in her ideas for both group and individual pictures. She was friendly, upbeat and patient throughout the session. She also put everyone at their ease. We will cherish the photos and memories. I would highly recommend her.”
Such lovely words thank you!I really enjoyed reading your review.

Are you looking for a professional Surrey photographer? I’d love to help if you have a family that you would like to capture. Or perhaps you have a need for some professional headshots or commercial photography requirements?
I love taking on projects of all types, and I am delighted to share this professional Surrey photographer shoot. It took place from last month where we shot on St Martha’s Hill in Surrey. It’s a well loved local beauty spot where the family enjoy spending time. Popular for walking, running and cycling. The views from the top are very rewarding which is a relief as the walk up can be quite tiring. Although we cheated a bit by using the car park half way up! When I take my children up there, I usually have to incentivise them with a promise of an ice cream after! No bribery was required on this day though and we all had a great time!
With smaller children I sometimes offer little smarties if we need a little incentive. I also have an impressive bag full of stickers to tempt any little girl or boy. They always love choosing at the end.
Surrey Hills
I am a huge lover of the countryside and particular fan of the Surrey hills. You are never short of things to do from great walks to bike trails and orienteering. Although I have to admit the latter is not totally my bag! I seem to always be the one holding the map upside down, although since using apps on my phone we get less lost these days!

I was so thrilled to meet up for this large Surrey family photoshoot near Guildford last month. Jaynn at the head of the family, clearly had such a special bond with her four gorgeous grandchildren. Tthe vibe of the afternoon was certainly one of fun and laughter, which is what it’s all about! Even when we had a light shower it didn’t matter, as we ducked under a beautiful old oak tree for more playful pictures.
I loved that they brought their dog too! It’s always fun to add a much loved family pet into the mix! It really doesn’t phase me, I have had horses, deer, pigs, chickens, guinea pigs, cats and dogs included! I might have to draw the line at a snake though. Sorry I would be too scared to focus!!!
Thank you
After seeing the pictures from the Surrey family photoshoot, Jaynn said.
“Thank you for the wonderful viewing that we had on Monday evening. Thanks for giving us so much time to choose our pictures. We are thrilled with the number and range of lovely photos.” Her daughter Victoria, added “Just to say I think you did a fabulous job with the photos and with Jaynn last night. The key objective was to give Jaynn some lovely memories from the family photoshoot and they are absolutely photos to cherish.” It was my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to let me know.
I loved reading these emails, it really is the icing on the cake, and I am so happy to have captured some beautiful memories for them!

I am pretty sure you can hear the laughter from just looking at the pictures from this Dorking family photographer session. The children get on so well and clearly adore their parents, their close relationships were evident throughout the morning. The family love bluebells so we picked a really quiet woods. Luckily we didn’t see a single other person so we had the whole place to ourselves. The children loved to mess about, climb trees, check out a den and have a few running races!
I really adore all flowers, but in particular bluebells! I always get excited when I see them appearing in the woods next to our house. When you look out of the window it looks like an endless carpet of blue, it looks so magical! We always look for fairies when I take my children. Or make us stories as we tread careful through the paths. You don’t want to disturb the flowers too much otherwise they might not come up again. It’s important to teach the children to respect nature. Mine loving flowers and growing them. We are even trying a few vegetables this year. We will have to see how they go! Better remember to water them!
It was great that we had their Auntie along too as she was brilliant fun and had the best sense of humour. I wanted to borrow her for my afternoon shoot as she was great at making the children laugh with her funny jokes! She had us all in stitches! I can’t wait to deliver their frames, they will look stunning and I am sure they will enjoy them everyday.

I was so pleased to be asked to be the Cranleigh family photographer for this gorgeous family from Cranleigh. The village is near Guildford in Surrey. This was their first family photography shoot with me. Last year, their Mum was given a voucher for the session from some of her friends for a special birthday.
We went to Winterfold Woods which they know well. It’s one of my favourites too! The view from the top is stunning. It never fails to take my breath away. You really can see for miles around, even as far as Gatwick airport! The children were amazing. During their session we had such fun and and it was clear to see how close they all are. My job was easy that afternoon! I loved that they brought their dog too, as pets are such an important part of the family. I was thrilled that they loved their portraits and am looking forward to delivery their frames soon!
Sessions can be held wherever is special to you. Maybe your garden, or local woods. Likewise if there is no where in particular, I can make some suggestions too.

It was great to catch up with one of my favourite families. Furthermore to be asked to be their Farnham family photographer a few weeks ago. It was their second photoshoot with me. But their first as a family of four as they welcomed their second daughter in to the family last year! The garden was looking stunning so there were plenty of lovely spots to enjoy capturing some fun and games. They are obviously keen gardeners, something I am working on myself. Although I have to confess I am not sure how green my fingers are! I do try every year to make our garden look as beautiful as possible but my success rate is moderate! However this year we are going to try growing some different vegetables, perhaps some tomatoes and lettuces! Let’s hope I don’t get bored of watering them by July!! I might send my children out with the hose pipe!
Mum said after that she really enjoyed her ‘fun and relaxed morning’ with me. At the viewing she said the photos were ‘fabulous and had exceeded her expectations’ and made her very emotional (in a good way!). I always enjoy seeing peoples reactions to their portraits. Tissues are always close at hand.
My summer sessions are filling up fast so if you are looking for an outdoor family photography shoot, please do get in touch soon! My diary tends to fill up about 2-3 months ahead. Sometimes further for summer holiday and autumn colours.

Are you looking for a baby photographer in Horsham?
This gorgeous 1 month old baby from Horsham in West Sussex was such a treat to be the photographer for last week. He was ever so good although a little reluctant to fall asleep on his own! So we used every trick in the book to make sure he was happy and settled. It brought back so many memories of trying to settle my own babies. I can remember after what seemed like hours of rocking until they feel asleep, I’d carefully lay them down and tip toe out (holding my breath) only to find within minutes of leaving the room, they would wake again and start crying (usually just as I myself got into bed!). I don’t mind admitting I rather enjoy my undisturbed nights these days! Although even at 6 and 8 my children do sneak down the corridor now and then for a reassuring cuddle, which mostly I don’t mind at all!
