Teenage photography Surrey
Do you have teenagers in your family? You might be considering getting some family photography taken or want a shoot just for the children. My teenage photography sessions are very popular particularly when the children are leaving school and perhaps heading off to university. I travel all over Surrey and beyond for the teenage photography sessions. You choose the venue, maybe your garden or somewhere special that the teens like to go. If there is nowhere in particular I am happy to suggest in options.
Some people might consider the teenage years to be a bit awkward. But I’ve always had such a brilliant time with the teens I have photographed. By the time the children have hit 13 or so they really decide what they want to do on the shoot. So I really hand over to them to think about what we do, to capture them in a natural way. Of course they will also be deciding what to wear. So parents please let them express themselves whilst diplomatically also considering my what to wear guide!!
I really enjoyed reading this kind review by the family after.
“Nicola is a great photographer with a style that really puts people at ease. Following some great headshots for my own business I then arranged to have some family photos done which we excellent with everyone enjoying the process as well. Can’t recommend enough.”
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! That has made my day reading that!
If you have teenagers and are looking for a professional photographer to capture them, please do look at my information pages, past blog sessions or contact me to discuss your bespoke session needs. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

2017 Family and headshot photography session highlights
So it seems I have still not found the magical solution to stopping time, even after trying a wide array of wands on a brilliant day out at Harry Potter World earlier this month! So for the time being, we shall all have to be content enjoying every day we do have with our family and friends even if they whizz by so quickly!
The reason I take so many photos of my children (several thousand each year!) is that I like to record the moments I might forget in years to come. It’s the little details that I love, sometimes overlooked. But in years to come will bring me such happiness when they remind me what they were like at that stage of their lives. I love looking at a portrait that brings back not only a visual reference to that moment but brings back the sound of the laughter, the warmth of the sunshine or the smell of the flowers. I certainly felt that when I looked through all the headshot and family photography sessions I had in 2017. They all brought back such happy memories of the fun we had during these family photoshoots. That’s the important word, ‘fun’! That really is the essence of my photography sessions. We are having fun, it shines through the pictures, brings out your true personalities, whilst you are having a great time! I am so pleased when people feedback that they didn’t realise it was going to be so much fun! That’s my aim, for your children to enjoy what they like doing best. If they are happy, you are happy and we can relax and enjoy ourselves!
Thank you so much for your support in 2017, it really has meant so much to me! It was an amazing year and I feel very honoured to have captured such special moments for so many lovely families. I have lots of exciting plans for 2018, and look forward to sharing these with you soon!
If you’re reading this, and thinking about a session in 2018, I do hope that these highlights below from sessions in Surrey, Berkshire and Sussex give you a flavour of my style and that you feel I might be the right photographer to capture some memories for you to treasure for a lifetime. I look forward to hearing from you. Contact me.
Many thanks for reading.

I really enjoy being a photographer for Child Actor Headshots Guildford Surrey. I had a lovely time meeting 14 year old Mia last week. This was for her headshots for Guildford School of Acting.
For Mia, and all my aspiring actors, my aim is to help you reach your highest casting potential. So here’s how it works….
I tend to do the headshot sessions in the garden of my home study. Although I am happy to discuss a location of your choice. There are some interesting backgrounds and it enables us to be comfortable and relaxed. We can also get to know each other which helps me bring out your true personality. I like to work with you to produce a stand out portrait that will get any Director’s attention!
The session lasts about 2 hours, during which time you are welcome to have a clothes change if you wish. Once we feel like we’ve got the shots we need, we head into the studio to load them up on to the computer. We then look through them together on a large screen. So you can decide on your favourites and I then edit them in front of you. Naturally you have control over the level of editing/retouching you may wish to have. If on the day, you find it too tricky to decide on your favourites, I can do a gallery for your agent to help you choose. This is quite popular as there are so many great shots to choose from!
The session costs £150 (gallery is an additional £25). This hich includes 3 digital files ready for you to use for casting directors, agents, Spotlight, social media, websites or for printing etc. Additional files can be purchased for £35 each.
Do see my headshot page or contact me to discuss further.
