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!

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!

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 was bursting with excitement to be chosen as the Woking Family Photographer. This was so lovely to once again see this gorgeous family for their fourth photoshoot with me! I was first used as their Woking family photographer when Liezel was expecting her son in 2015 for a maternity photoshoot. Subsequently I captured them when he was a newborn baby. I continued to capture them during 2016. So was thrilled to be asked back to capture them for another family photoshoot whilst Liezel’s Mum was over from South Africa. The children had grown so much. It was so lovely to see them entering the new phase of childhood. We had a great time catching up and capturing them enjoying family time together.

Kind Review

Liezel said after “This was our 4th photoshoot with Nicola. Once again we are blown away by the incredible photos she managed to capture! Her patience with young children combined with her experience is the key to achieving the most amazing photos. Which we will treasure for a lifetime.” Thanks Liezel it was my pleasure, I adored seeing you all again! I can’t wait to deliver your frames, they will look amazing!

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!
