Leatherhead Surrey Children and Family Photographer
Being a family photographer is the BEST job in the world! I get to meet so many lovely families throughout Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire and South London, and plan lots of fun adventures for their little ones! I headed to Ashted Common near Leatherhead in Surrey for this family photoshoot, which provided us with plenty of space to run around and interesting places to explore and discover!
The parents said after their viewing: “It really was great going through all the pictures this week, it’s really really amazing the number of great shots you have managed to get and we are really happy with what we have chosen. We are now looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks time in print. We will certainly recommend you to anyone considering family portraits in the future.”
After their frames arrived they commented, “The pictures arrived yesterday and we opened them last night, just fantastic, we are looking forward to shuffling the pictures on the wall and enjoying them for many years, thanks again for everything.”
My pleasure guys, I hope to see you again soon!

Family Photographer Cranleigh Surrey
I really had so much fun being the photographer for this fun Cranleigh, (Surrey) based family of four. I had such a great time photographing Gareth’s brother Lawrence and family a couple of months before, that I knew I was going to have a lot of fun. I was not disappointed! The family are so nice, I didn’t feel like it was work at all! Their children, as you can see, are just so gorgeous and sweet, so the couple of hours flew by and before long we all deserved an ice cream!
Mum, Sarah said after: “I’m completely over the moon – they have bought a tear to my eye and made me really emotional! I know we will treasure them forever, they really have captured that special moment in time. I’m so happy that you managed to achieve that ‘work of art’ for our new home. I love the images that we chose as pictures in their own right, it just makes it extra special that they feature our children! Thank you so much again. I really hope that we will be able to see you again some time in the future.”
My pleasure guys, I really hope you stay in touch! x
Are you looking for a family photographer Dorking?
Nikkie from Dorking in Surrey approached me recently to discuss a family photography shoot. She wanted to capture herself with her three sisters and parents for a family photography shoot. I was very excited! I think it is clear from the pictures what a great morning we had. They are clearly a very close family unit, who enjoy spending time together. So there was plenty of laughter and fun. We went to somewhere that was special to the family. They remembered a photo of the 4 daughters on a gate there when they were children. We had fun reenacting the same poses.
Kind review
Nikkie said after: “Not something we do everyday, but from the outset Nicola showed warmth and empathy. She easily flowed with our suggestions for various pictures and poses. She made the whole session fun and produced some lovely, natural photos. Consequently these captured everything we had asked and hoped for. It was very difficult to choose between them”.

Family shoot taken by Nicola Light Photography // Family Photographer Dorking
I always look forward to taking some professional portraits for this fun family from Guildford in Surrey! I first met the family 3 years ago when I captured Freddie at 6 months. It was lovely to capture Freddie again at a year, then 18 months. Then along came Alfie to complete their family, and now this is their second shoot as a family of 4! It’s always so lovely to meet up. I love seeing how much the boys have grown and hearing what they’ve been up to! As always, we had great fun!
Dad, Ali says, “A wonderful collection of unforgettable memories beautifully captured by Nicola. We really couldn’t have or wouldn’t want anyone else to capture our family. Thank you!”
My pleasure, I look forward to your autumn shoot! Till then, take care and hope the house move goes well! x

It was so fun being the Woking Family photographer for this lovely family from Surrey. We did the photo shoot in the garden so it was very relaxing for everyone. They enjoyed showing me their favourite trees to climb and secret passages! When choosing a location you may wish to consider a few things. Firstly maybe shoot at home if you have a nice garden with shade? Otherwise secondly, perhaps there is somewhere you like walking or visiting as a family? Have a chat with your children, if you are old enough, about where they like to go. There are so many child friendly places in Surrey. Make a day of it with a picnic after. Children love an ice cream after too! Mind you, so do I! A raspberry ripple or mint choice chip gets my vote!
Kind Review
I had a lovely testimonial sent to me after the family’s viewing session:
“Nicola put our whole family at ease with her friendly yet professional approach. We are thrilled with our photographs and the overall experience.”

Well my job as photographer for this gorgeous family from Guildford in Surrey, was very easy! The family are very close, and it was clear to see the loving relationship between the parents and children. They have a great sense of fun which I think shines through in their pictures. Their energy seemed endless, with running races, gymnastics, rolling down the hill and even at the playground towards the end for a bit of climbing and den building! All in all a perfect morning!
I hear they slept well that night…. 😉

What a lovely photography shoot I had with this gorgeous family from Guildford in Surrey. Their son was so cute and smiley, my job was easy! The portraits speak for themselves – you can tell the family have a great sense of fun and we literally laughed our way through 90 minutes!
The session was bought as a Christmas voucher by Laurence’s parents, so it was extra special. I am photographing Laurence’s brother and family in a couple of months so it’ll be a treat to capture the whole family!
I had a lovely email from the family after their viewing session.
“Thank you so much Nicola, we are absolutely thrilled with the results of the photo shoot. To have both of us in tears at your home reviewing the catalogue for the first time says it all really. Who’d have thought a chicken and a hand puppet could keep a toddler smiling for so long?! We look forward to our next day together when baby number two arrives!”
Thank you for your kind words! My bag of toys works wonders but to be honest I think Jack was a natural! Can’t wait to see you again soon! x

Well what a treat I had this week with Lydia Jane Styling! I had always wanted to have a make up lesson as quite frankly my make up collection is embarrassingly small and my knowledge of application smaller! At best I grab a few minutes in the morning to apply some mascara and blusher between getting the children to school and starting work. On a Saturday night I might go ‘crazy’ and apply some gloss, bronzer and shadow! But as I turned 40 last year (eek did I say that out loud?!) I thought it was about time to grow up, understand a bit more about my skincare routine and learn a thing or two about much needed make up application to enhance my natural features 😉 or more realistically hide the wrinkles and dark bags!
So I headed over to Lydia’s on Wednesday morning with a certain amount of apprehension and excitement! I first met Lydia as a Client; I photographed her gorgeous family in 2013. Now, 2 years on, she’s a lovely friend and someone I enjoy spending time with. Six months ago she launched her own business as a personal stylist and make-up artist, offering a high quality and professional service advising both men and women on what to wear and how to develop their own unique style to enhance their individuality and appearance. She has done an amazing job with her website, building her client base and already winning awards!
Lydia wanted some help with tips on photographing her Clients on shopping consultation and before/after make up lessons so I helped with this aspect and in return she helped me with some much needed make up tips!
I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Firstly Lydia put me at ease straight away, I felt relaxed and excited to have the chance to focus on me for two hours – I am sure all busy Mums can relate to this! We talked about what my routine was currently, and the products I was using (we both were in fits of giggles as I admitted my lipstick was bought for my wedding day….ummm 7 years ago!), then we took the lesson stage by stage, in an easy to understand, fun and enjoyable way. Lydia really listened to my needs right from the start. She understood that as a busy Mum I didn’t have an hour in the morning to apply my make up, so we had a couple of options for a 10 minute everyday look and a longer evening look. Lydia was so encouraging and patient I felt like I could ask questions to make sure that I understood and that when I was home I could replicate what she taught me! I had a go at every stage so it was very hands on, which was perfect for reinforcing the different techniques. I was so pleased with what I learnt and the end result. I didn’t want to look too ‘made up’ but make the most of what mother nature gave me! So thanks Lydia I had a terrific time, you are very talented and I would recommend you to anyone for a 1-2-1 make up lesson or getting a few girlfriends together for a fun make up lesson!
In summary, during Lydia’s Jane Styling’s make up lessons you will:
– Review your current skincare regime and make-up bag
– Update and learn make-up techniques to achieve different looks and re-create current trends for daytime and evening
– Learn how to use make-up brushes for a flawless finish
– Understand how to enhance your face shape and best features in a time frame that suits your lifestyle
– Learn how to select colours to suit your natural colouring and personality
– Receive impartial and invaluable advice and tips on the best products to suit you
– Resolve all your make-up queries
Here’s my ‘before’ and ‘after’ as photographed (very well!) by Lydia.
Family Photography
I had a feeling I was going to have a lot of fun on the family photography shoot for Kiki and family. As you can see I was not disappointed! They asked me as a Family Photographer Farnham to capture their family at home. Kiki’s daughters had bought the voucher for her and husband Franco to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary! What an amazing milestone. They’ve obviously had many happy years together and their two beautiful daughters. Which are a testament to their loving family unit. I spent a couple of hours with the family in their garden, having fun and meeting their very sweet cat!
At the viewing session Kiki said that she was a bit anxious before the session as she’d never done anything like this before. But I was thrilled that she said I made it ‘delightful’ and a ‘very enjoyable relaxed experience’!
My pleasure, I am glad you liked it and I can’t wait to hand over your canvases! I am sure you will enjoy your portraits for years to come. Congratulations on your very special wedding anniversary!

If you’re a regular reader of my family photography blog you might notice that so many of my recent shoots have been returning Clients which is so lovely as I become really attached to my families and I love catching up with them and seeing the children grow! I last photographed this gorgeous pair of twins from Clapham, South London, last October in their 3 month photography shoot, so now at 9 months it’s lovely to see their individual personalities coming through. We had a really lovely time and I hope to see them again soon!
