Are you looking for an RAC Club Epsom photographer for a family occasion? The RAC Woodcote Park in Epsom is a really special place. I have been lucky enough to photograph several family sessions there.
There is always so much to see and do. Near the top car park there’s a gorgeous children’s play area. It’s full of wooden animals, things to jump on and off, benches and dens. As you can see, we took full advantage of this gorgeous play area for this little girl with her parents and grandparents. They chose the RAC Epsom bcause they are members and go regularly. So it’s a place that is very special to them.
With every session you get to choose where we shoot. If there is nowhere in particular, I can make some suggestions.
The photo shoot took around two hours. During that time we walked through the play area, past the clubhouse exploring the grounds. To be honest it was a very easy fun session because the little girl is absolutely delightful! This is her third session with me so we’re getting to know each other well.
Aren’t the poppies gorgeous? It was a real treat to come round the corner and discover these. Of course we had to incorporate these into the shoot. We also discovered a giant chess set in front of the clubhouse. So we made time to make a few moves!
The family choose some gorgeous portraits to frame and also a portrait book. My portrait books and include about 40 images and makes such a beautiful coffee table piece.

Hello! I am a Weybridge family photographer. I cover all areas around Surrey and beyond. This is a great example of a Weybridge family photographer session. The family choose their garden for the pictures. I can understand why, as it was absolutely gorgeous.
The choice of location is yours. You may wish to consider your garden, or somewhere special that you like to go. This might be your favourite woods, local gardens or park. If there is nowhere in particular, I’m very happy to make some suggestions.
This family wanted to have a clothes changes. Having planned this in advance, the family changed to create a different dynamic for their portraits. Their choice of clothing looked great. The colours coordinated really well. Before your session I send you a guide to what to wear. I’m also happy to discuss it with you to make sure you are ready on the day.
We took lots of combinations as you will see. With the addition of a grandparent we enjoyed adding in combinations of all the three generations. As you will see we had to get their big dogs in too! I have to admit they were a bit scary though as they were huge! I’m more of a cat than a dog person to be honest. The family introduced me to the dogs slowly and carefully, so they knew I was a friend. Thankfully this went well as I didn’t fancy being on the wrong side of them!
Next Steps
If you would like to see more examples of family sessions please see my information page. Perhaps you’d like to see some past blog posts of other sessions? Or do you just get in touch to discuss your needs. No family gathering is too big or too small! I look forward to hearing from you.

Family Photoshoot
Are you looking to book an Epsom family photoshoot? I travel all over Surrey and beyond. The shoot can take place in your garden, or somewhere special you like to go as a family. If there is nowhere in particular I’m happy to make some suggestions.
This extended family group was such good fun. As usual with the larger groups, we took a variety of different combinations. Each session is bespoke, but popular combinations include everyone group shots, grandparents with grandchildren and smaller family unit combinations. Of course pets are very much welcome too!
Before each session you will receive a guide to preparing, so you all ready to go on the day!
Kind review
I had such a lovely testimonial from the family afterwards, thank you so much. “We are thoroughly delighted with the superb photographs taken by Nicola of our large family group. Such a diverse group must be challenging for a photographer. But Nicola was ceaselessly patient and inventive in engaging the children, even a sceptical toddler. I was particularly impressed by the way she chose the creative backdrops. Their variety, enhanced each photograph. She offered enormous flexibility in helping us make our choices and was really helpful right through the process. The entire experience from start to finish was hugely enjoyable and very much to be recommended.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was such a treat to photograph your extended family group. I didn’t want to leave at the end! We were having such fun.

Are you looking for a Rudgwick family photographer? (I do commercial photography and headshots too!)
I cover all of West Sussex, Surrey and surrounding counties. I have been capturing happy families for over 10 years now. I am very proud to love the job I do! I really enjoyed capturing this West Sussex family. The pictures were especially poignant because the family will be moving house over the summer. So it’ll be important for the boys to have captured these memories in their first childhood home.
The garden is lovely, with plenty of spring colour still. As you can see, the boys are very active. So it was important to capture what they love most about their home. So lots of jumping, running, swinging, trampolining, cricket and piggybacks. In addition playing with their excitable spaniel who was absolutely gorgeous! This was all interspersed with cuddles from their parents. The family are so lovely, I thoroughly enjoyed capturing them at home.
The location for your shoot is up to you. Perhaps you would like to have the photographs taken at home? Or maybe a favourite park or local gardens. It’s best to think of somewhere that is special to you. But don’t worry, if there is nowhere in particular, I can make some suggestions.
Before your session I will send you a guide to preparing for your session. This will also include the all important ‘what to wear‘ guide! I’ll also talk about what to bring with you and what to expect on the day. Of course we will run through how to choose your favourites for the viewing session too. I do lots of examples of frames, like the ones you can see below.

Are you looking for a photographer Surrey? I travel all over Surrey and surrounding counties. I specialise in families from pregnancy, to young children, teens, grandparents and everyone in between! I also do christenings, small weddings and parties of all ages!
I do headshots and also product photography in the studio and lifestyle. I also do personal branding sessions to tell the story behind your brand.
This session is a lovely example of a relaxed family session that focused on the sweet relationship between grandparent and granddaughter.
The family live in Shere, Surrey so they wanted the photography session to include some of their favourite places they enjoy going together. We started off in their garden. This is a very important place for the two of them. The little girl enjoys helping her Granny out when she is sowing and tending to her vegetable patch. We then took a loop around the village incorporating the places they love most. Of course we had to include a fabulous ice cream from Shere delights! She definitely deserved it! As did granny her coffee!
I was so pleased to read this lovely email from my client following her session.
“Thank you, Nicola. AMAZING photos. You have captured them perfectly and they had such fun in the process. We are so pleased we trusted you to capture our family memories.”
Thank you so much, it really was my pleasure to capture you again. I am looking forward to delivering your beautiful portrait book that includes all your favourite memories.

I was so pleased to be chosen as the family photographer Horsley for this delightful family that I have photographed twice now. The first session for them was in the Surrey Hills in the autumn. So five years later, it was fun to do a spring session for them in some local gardens.
It was so exciting to see how much the children had grown up. It’s always such a treat to be chosen to document your children’s lives. Of course the children didn’t remember me, but it was so lovely playing with them and getting to know them again. They are both very cheeky, in a good way!
As always we took time to take lots of different combinations of the family. I always take some whole family shots. Of course some single portraits of each of the children. Some of the children together which usually includes some fun running races and piggyback rides if they’re up for it!
These children brought some of their favourite toys with them so it was great photographing them with them. I couldn’t believe how quickly the little boy solved the Rubik’s cube. I think it would take me hours, and probably still wouldn’t solve it!
They also each brought a book with them. One of them was one of my children’s favourite. The dinosaur that pooped a planet! Do you know it? It’s hilarious!

I really loved being the Godalming family photographer for this fabulous family a couple of weeks ago.
I first met the family five years ago for a family shoot at Winkworth Arboretum. It’s always lovely to see people again. It’s amazing how quickly the children grow up. It’s a real honour to capture their journey through childhood. We got on really well for their first shoot so I was so excited to meet up with them again. This time they had the addition of their gorgeous dog Etti! She was very good fun, but not let off her lead because they were worried she may not return! Etti has her own page on Instagram, she is a much loved beagle!
As always we enjoyed a relaxed walk seeing where the mood took us. We took the pictures in one of my favourite (secret!) spots for bluebells. The carpet of bluebells was looking amazing. I always think they look so magical, as if fairies might appear at any moment!
The family wanted some really fun pictures so we did some action and quirky ones. I don’t think we stop laughing! I was so excited for them to come in and see their pictures too. I always love it when they see the big reveal of how their pictures turned out!
I had a lovely five star Google review after their session:
“Fabulous experience with Nicola. Full support and guidance from start to finish ending in a truly memorable and fantastic result. The time taken at viewing after the photo shoot is so critical to the outcome and Nicola is there to advise you with her expertise and passion every step of the way. She is so fun to be with too”
Thank you so much guys, I loved it too!

Godalming Surrey children’s photographer
Gorgeous little Ella kept us on our toes for a couple of hours during her photography shoot at home in Godalming in Surrey.
We had such fun exploring her garden, running, jumping, feeding the fish and giggling! Can you believe her Grandfather made the gorgeous willow fox on a course earlier this year! The garden looks spectacular. I particularly liked the rhododendrons. That pink colour is totally fantastic!
We have been working on our garden over the last few months. It’s looking so much better now that we have really thought about different heights in the garden and seasons.
I think if I hadn’t been a photographer I may well have been a gardener. I would love to do some courses like the ones they offer at Wisley Gardens. Which of course always look fantastic! We have planted up our vegetable patch now too. We are hoping for a bumper crop of beans and tomatoes. We are also trying out courgettes and cucumbers although one of them is looking rather tired already so I’m not that hopeful!
