Are you looking for a family or children’s photographer in Guildford Surrey? I would love to help you….
Oh my goodness what a cutie this little girl is! I adored meeting her and her parents for their Surrey family photography session at one of my favourite venues. She was wearing her Christening dress which her parents wanted to capture to help them remember the special day a few weeks before. The dress was stunning and she really did look at cute as a button! I can remember seeing my children in their christening dress. I think I probably cried! Our family dress is very delicate as it’s been passed through about 5 generations and many many babies have worn it! It is safely stored away now for the next generation which probably won’t be for another 15 years or so!
As you can see this little girl had a wonderful sense of fun and such a sweet nature which made the session very easy as we walked around the gardens, even allowing them to have a clothes change towards the end! It’s clear to see the close bond between them and I am delighted with the final portraits.
Mum said after “We had such great fun shooting with Nicola and she captured the cheeky personality of our daughter perfectly. There were so many good photos, it was hard to pick! Thank you for our wonderful memories”
My pleasure, I really enjoyed our time together. Keep in touch and I hope to see you again soon!

I was so looking forward to travelling to Horsham West Sussex to be the family photographer. This was for a special baby session with one of the loveliest families in all of Sussex! I have got to know the family quite well over the last few years. It’s always a treat to catch up and spend time with them. Here is a
link to their baby session with me 6 months ago.

The strong bond they have with their dear little daughter Scarlett is so clear to see. I could literally feel their boundless love for this little cutie. Scarlett was such great fun and just loved playing with Mummy and Daddy. She is almost one and her happy personality shines through.
Dad said after, “Thank you for another fantastic photography session. As always we enjoyed the experience immensely and we are delighted with the results. We will treasure the pictures and we cant wait to receive the finished portraits.”
Me too! I can’t wait to see you all for your next session in March when I think Scarlett will be walking!

Family Photographer Guildford Surrey
It was so lovely to meet be chosen as the family photographer Guildford Surrey for this family photography shoot. They were such good fun and the children had a brilliant time. Early on, it was clear that the little boy had a great love of nature. So we were very excited to find so many bugs in the garden including a stunning green rose beetle! (We had to google it I admit!)
We really enjoyed playing around, running, joking and climbing trees!
The family were thrilled with their pictures when they saw them at their viewing. They have chosen some gorgeous frames. I will be very excited to hand them over next week! The viewing is a very relaxed and personal experience. You can sit comfortably and see your pictures on a large screen. In addition I have some clever software to allow your to narrow down your favourites and visualise these in a selection of frames. You can see some examples of that below.
The whole precess from enquiry, to preparation, shoot and viewing is a relaxed and fun tailored experience for each family.
Next Steps
Summer sessions are almost full, I have a few sessions left in August (July is full). So if you’re still thinking about a summer Surrey family photography session, get in touch soon!

Woking, Dorking, Godalming, Horsham, Reigate, Farnham, Leatherhead, Haslemere, Ascot, Epsom, Clapham, Battersea, Wimbledon. Also other surrounding towns in Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire and London.

How cute is this little chap?! He really did so well for his Reigate family photographer shoot at his home in Surrey. His doting parents were so sweet with him and their sense of fun was clearly appreciated by him! At just under one his personality shines through in these precious portraits. I am sure that will bring so much pleasure to look back at these early days when he’s as tall as Daddy! We moved around their garden, including taking one in front of the house and by the front gate. It would be really fun to recreate these every year!
We take pictures on our front door step every September. We all hold hands and see how much the children have grown in twelve months. When we have about 20 I will make them into a big collage. I suspect I will be the shortest when we get to that stage! The children seem to grow too quickly. Blink and there are another few centimetres added to their heights! My son in particular seems to be eating a lot more. I don’t think it’ll be long before we are no longer getting the children’s meal at Pizza Express!
What to bring
It’s fun to bring along some favourite toys like books. Alternatively maybe some building blocks or teddy to your family photography shoot. It’s so special to remember what they liked to play with at that age as you forget so quickly! I still haven’t thrown away my children’s toys. Each time I look at the them, they bring back a memory. I will put them up in the loft for our grandchildren (hopefully!) one day.
If you’d like some further information please contact me – I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

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.

I was so excited to catch up with this Godalming family for their photography shoot earlier this month! Having seen them last for their
baby shoot in February last year you can see just how much the boys have grown since their last Godalming family photography shoot! I hadn’t seen their gorgeous big sister for a couple of years since her last shoot. So there was plenty to catch up on! We had such a great time wandering around the gardens. Of course admiring the flowers, playing games and enjoying the spring sunshine. Thank goodness it’s arrived and we can all thaw out a bit! I have to admit I am not a huge fan of the winter as I really feel the cold. So I am always over excited when the daffodils and crocuses start appearing and we can remove our winter coats!
Kind words
Mum said after… “Thanks so much Nicola for capturing our family once again! You always make the session so much fun and the children respond to you so well. Which is why we love the natural and fun pictures that you take. With the boys being so young we weren’t sure how the pictures were going to turn out this time, but once again we couldn’t be happier with the results. It was hard to choose our favourites to put on the walls because we love them all! You are so clever! We are looking forward to seeing you again in September for the next family photoshoot, thank you!”
Thank you for your kind words. I can’t wait to see you again too, I bet the boys will be walking and talking (a bit!) by then!
