Bramley family photographer
This lovely family were looking for a Bramley family photographer to capture their children for their annual Christmas card. This was an extra special treat for me because I had captured them a year before for their Christmas card. It’s always lovely to go back to families, to catch up and see how much they have grown. For this family session, we had the added fun of a new pet to include! You can see how well the dog has settled in and is already much loved! All the children wanted a picture with him! I always enjoy including pets to a family photo shoot. I’ve had so many different animals including cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, pigs, horses and chickens! I might have to drawn the line at a snake as I am not a fan I’m afraid!
Review
I had a very kind five star review on Google following the photo shoot.
“Nicola is friendly, professional, efficient and captures great shots! She makes the whole process very effortless, I highly recommend her!”
Thank you for your kind review. That was so lovely to read. I really enjoyed your session and I’m so glad that you love your portraits as much as I do. I’m sure there is a winner in there for your Christmas card!

When this gorgeous extended family were looking for a Cobham portrait photographer I was so flattered that they considered me for the job. I hadn’t met them before but within minutes we felt like we were old friends. I literally laughed from start to finish with these ladies plus their man (!) It were hilarious. I didn’t want to leave them at the end of the session! We had so much fun.
During the morning we enjoyed exploring the gardens, the flowers were looking spectacular. I rather wish my own garden looked more like this! In another life I might have done a gardening course to learn more about taking care of plants. Maybe I will add it to my retirement ‘to do’ list!
I was so happy to read this five star Google review after their session.
“Nicola Light is a brilliant photographer combining an ideal mix of creative talent, empathy and warmth to get the most out of her family subjects and our portraits. All being a bit shy we had some trepidation about working with a professional to get some special photos done but Nicola made the experience truly enjoyable and rewarding from start to finish.”
Thank you so much for your kind review. I tend to find quite often people are a little bit nervous before the session. But within a few minutes we are chatting, getting to know each other and relaxing into the session. There is no formality. The main order of the day is fun and capturing your personality!

Family Photography
This wonderful family with their gorgeous girls were looking for a Cobham family portrait photographer to capture them enjoying time together. It was such a pleasure to meet them on a warm summers day and enjoy the gardens at Wisley that were in full bloom.
As with most sessions, the direction of the shoot naturally unfolds as the session progresses. It’s easier not to have a fixed plan but rather let the family dictate their ideas and let the children have freedom to express themselves. At places like Wisley there are so many different corners to explore. The gardeners do such an amazing job keeping the garden looking fantastic all year round. There are lots of exciting new plans there underway. With the opening of the beautiful new entrance in 2019, and more areas being opened up in 2020 and 2021. It’s set to remain a firm favourite with families for years to come.
I really enjoyed reading this very kind five star review on Google following their family portrait session.
Kind Review
“Our family photo session with Nicola has been an amazing experience and we are delighted with the photos we have selected. Nicola worked hard to make us feel comfortable and successfully tease some smiles out of a reluctant teen! During the viewing session, Nicola was very patient and helpful in narrowing down choices, listening to how we would want to display the photos and making suggestions accordingly. I can’t wait to receive the finished product.”
Thank you so much. It really made me smile to read your kind review. I’m so glad you love your final choices.

Photoshoot Shamley Green Surrey
It was great to kick off the new year with my first family photoshoot for this lovely family from Shamley Green Surrey. We headed to some local woods with their cute dog, Paddy to capture the three children and their mum. Timing was critical as the two eldest children were heading back to university the following day following the Christmas break.
The family were such good fun, which I think shines through in their pictures. You’ll have to check out the last two pictures below which show a 10 years on shot we recreated! It was so funny getting them all into the right position. As you can see their youngest son has grown quite a bit and is now the tallest which added quite a challenge to getting the positioning just right!
I was very pleased to see some of the spring colours coming through, some lovely pinks, bright yellows and reds. I don’t think it’ll be long before the daffodils are flowering which always puts a smile on my face. I’m not the greatest fan of the winter. I don’t want to wish away the months, but I do look forward to longer days with a bit more warmth.

The photoshoot can take place in your garden or local woods or somewhere you enjoy going together as a family.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you looking for a Surrey Photoshoot for an extended family event? Perhaps you are celebrating a big birthday or anniversary or just getting all the family together for a date this year. If you are looking to capture your time together with a photoshoot, I would love to chat about a bespoke session that will capture the true essence of your family group. I travel all over Surrey and the surrounding counties capturing large family groups.
I thoroughly enjoyed capturing this family for a photoshoot just before Christmas when they were gathered from as far as New Zealand to enjoy a few days together celebrating a special wedding anniversary. We went up to Winterfold Woods in Surrey, where we had such a fun morning. The children were fantastic and there was much laughter as we explored the area.
I was so happy to read these lovely 5* reviews after their viewing:
“Huge thank you to Nicola for accommodating us 2 days before Christmas for a big family photo shoot! We hadn’t expected to actually enjoy the shoot itself but Nicola made it a really fun and relaxed experience and the resulting photos are just fabulous! Testament to a lovely, fun morning and Nicola’s expertise capturing it all. We will treasure the photos and can’t wait to get them on our walls!” – Natalie
“We all had such a fantastic day with Nicola. She made the whole experience of the shoot so fun and entertaining. Not only do we have so many beautiful pictures from the day, but we had a wonderful time doing it. Highly recommend!” – Emily
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure.

It was a treat to return to undertake this family photoshoot Guildford. I was returning to one of my lovely families from Shamley Green near Guildford in Surrey! They have such a beautiful garden which provides plenty of opportunity for fun and games. I adore the summer flowers. If I wasn’t a photographer, I might have been a gardener! I would love to know more about plants, maybe I will pick it up in my retirement! It always seems to be so relaxing. I love to combine people with nature. It makes for a much more interesting composition rather than a studio. The seasons are always to varied here, I do like the changes we see. They always seem to come around at just the right time.
Kind thoughts
Mum Claire said after her session. “This is the fourth year running we have asked Nicola to take family photos for us. Once again we have lots of great photos to choose from. This will help with Grandparents Christmas presents! Thank you Nicola.
My pleasure Claire, I really enjoyed your Family Photoshoot Guildford. It was great to catch up!

Haslemere Surrey family photographer
I was really thrilled to do this Haslemere Surrey family photographer session in the summer. The session was bought as a Christmas voucher. So after contacting the family in January, they chose July for their family photography shoot. The obvious choice for location was their beautiful home and garden in Haslemere. You are welcome to choose where the shoot will take place. Your garden, or somewhere special you like to go together. Otherwise I can make suggestions.
We had a great morning hanging out in the garden. There were some lovely spots for climbing, chatting and hanging out. We took lots of different combinations. These included all the family together, single portraits of the children and of all the three siblings together. We also focused on each of the children with each parent and one of the parents together. These are the usual combinations for a family photoshoot but you’re welcome to tweak them as each session is bespoke so very much meets your particular needs.
If you would like to see more examples of other family photoshoots, then do check out MY BLOG. I have also included a selection from other sessions below. The blog is set out in categories so you can choose to look at recent sessions of baby families or other categories. There are also sections on commercial photography and headshots. So there are plenty of examples of families or businesses just like yours.

Below are other examples of sessions from families in and around Surrey over the last few years.
Are you looking for a Woking family photographer Surrey?
I cover all areas of Surrey and surrounds, including Woking. This is where this gorgeous family photography session took place. The family hired me to capture them celebrating the most wonderful occasion of a golden wedding anniversary! Love was certainly in the air as the happy couple were surrounded by their five children. We also had their partners and a lots of delightful grandchildren! Some of the family had travelled as far as Australia to be there. So it truly was a wonderful celebration being together.
I took some pictures of the family all together, then other combinations as requested. Each session is tailored to your needs so I can do as many or as few composed shots as you wish. You may also like to include some reportage style pictures of a party or gathering too.
Kind Review
I had such a lovely email from the family after: “Virginia has passed us the framed and mounted montage of our celebratory photo session. I write to say how delighted we are with it. Thank you for the time you took at our meeting to recommend. Also to suggest what would best suit the layout of the montage. The ultimate choice of a whole family group as the major picture, then the three smaller ones of Jennifer and myself, children and grandchildren works well we feel. So a lovely present from our children. We like the selected frame and your recommended mount too. So it now hangs in pride of place (until our Platinum!) in our hallway as a discussion piece!”
My pleasure, I really enjoyed meeting you all!

What a delightful time I had photographing these gorgeous siblings last month at Wisley Gardens. I first met their parents a few years ago when they were looking for a children’s portrait photographer Guildford to capture them in a natural and relaxed way, enjoying time together. So I was delighted to be asked to capture them again this time focusing on the children.
It’s always a treat to be asked to photograph a family again. I love seeing how much children have grown up. It still surprises me every time I see the difference just a few years can make. When you see your own children and their friends every day you don’t really notice it, but they’re changing all the time.
I had such a delightful time with the family on the day, the children were such good fun. We really enjoyed admiring the gardens in full bloom. We enjoyed piggyback races, running races, some tree climbing and lots of other fun things. It was a very smiley session and very easy for me! As you can see the children were beautifully dressed, so well coordinated. I assumed this would be the case as the Mummy has a great eye for fashion and colour and is a personal stylist and make-up artist, so she didn’t really need any top tips from my ‘What to wear guide‘!

Are you looking for a Cranleigh Surrey family photographer? I hope this blog post might give you a better insight into the style of my photograph. It’s what I offer to happy families all over Surrey.
Last week I undertook this very special family photography session which celebrated 50 years of marriage between John and Liz! What an amazing achievement. They were joined for the weekend by their son and family. The garden of their home near Cranleigh in Surrey, was an obvious choice for their special celebration shoot.
The bluebells were still blooming. So we took advantage of taking some of the pictures in the carpet of blue that surrounded us on our walk. The boys were great fun and did a good job in leading us around the woods showing me some of their favourite spots as we walked. As you may have spotted it was very special to have along their much loved dog. She was very excited about her morning walk! I love including pets, so don’t be shy about including them! I’ve had so many different animals included in shoots…dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, tortoises, chickens, pigs, deer and cows to name but a few!
If you are looking for a Cranleigh family photographer then please do get in touch to chat. I cover all of Surrey and surrounding counties.
