Nicola Light Photography, Professional Family Photographer Surrey

What I can do for your family as a Professional Family Photographer Surrey 

Hello, I am a Professional Family Photographer Surrey I want to record the love and connections between you and your family – a whispered secret, a ride on Daddy’s shoulders, a tickle with Mummy. These all fit together and help me capture your style, your personalities and your family story. Every family is different so every family photography session is specifically planned around you and your family.

BEFORE the family photography shoot

I take plenty of time to find out all about your family story and answer any questions you have.  We can discuss who will be there and where to shoot. It’s nice to use somewhere special to you – perhaps your garden or local woods. Or alternatively I am happy to suggest a suitable location depending on the time of year.  Perhaps we can play around in the daffodils in March, walk amongst the bluebells in April, kick up the autumn leaves and climb trees in October! It’s all about capturing your family having fun and doing what you enjoy together as a family. As soon as we confirm your date and location, I will send you a ‘Guide to preparing for your session’. with tips like ‘WHAT TO WEAR’ to ensure you are ready and relaxed on the day.

You’ll find some other FAQs here.

DURING the photography shoot

The photography session is all about FUN! Most tend to last about 2 hours, at a time of day that best suits your family. I’ll try not to pose or direct you too much! My style is more natural and contemporary !  I like to capture you through play and allow you to be yourself. The sessions are full of movement and energy, and very much directed by the children! I find that the best shot isn’t when I ask a child to sit still on a park bench and smile at me, it’s a few minutes later when they are giggling at your joke!

If your children are shy or you’re worried about tantrums – don’t be, I am a mother and have seen it all before!  I like being silly, playing games, getting children to relax, be comfortable in front of the camera and have fun.  Rest assured I can handle most situations and have a good helping of patience! I am always happy to stop for snack breaks too – whatever we need to keep everyone happy!
