BOOK A SESSION VIEW GALLERYFamily Portraits That Actually Look Like You
I've been photographing families across Kent for over a decade, and the thing I hear most often is that people dread having their photo taken. They worry about stiff poses, awkward smiles, and images that look nothing like real life. That's exactly what I don't do.
My approach is simple: I get to know your family before we start shooting, find a location that suits you, and work around what's naturally happening rather than trying to control every moment. The result is portraits that feel genuinely like you — not a staged version of your family on their best behaviour.
Outdoor Sessions Across Kent
Romney Marsh, the Kent coastline, Godinton Gardens, woodland near Ashford — wherever suits your family best. I'll recommend the perfect spot.
Fine Art Prints & Wall Art
Every session includes the option to order museum-quality prints, canvas, and framed wall art to display in your home.
All Family Sizes Welcome
Couples, young families, multi-generational groups — I photograph all sizes across Kent. No family is too big or too complex.
Golden Hour Sessions
Late afternoon sessions in the Kent countryside for the most beautiful, warm natural light. These book quickly — plan ahead.

Family Portrait Photography — Frequently Asked Questions
Where do family portrait sessions take place in Kent?
Sessions take place outdoors at locations that suit your family — Romney Marsh, the Kent coastline, Godinton House and Gardens, woodland near Ashford, or a location personal to you. I'll recommend the best option based on your family and the time of year.
How long does a family portrait session take?
Standard sessions run for around 90 minutes. This gives enough time for everyone to relax, try a few different spots, and capture a range of images without feeling rushed.
What should we wear for a family portrait session in Kent?
I recommend coordinating rather than matching — choose a palette of 2–3 complementary colours and let each person wear something within that palette they feel comfortable in. Avoid busy patterns and large logos. I send every family a full wardrobe guide before their session.
How far in advance should I book a family portrait session in Kent?
I typically book 4–8 weeks in advance, and golden hour sessions in summer fill particularly quickly. I'd recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a date in mind.
Do you travel across Kent for portrait sessions?
Yes — I photograph families across the whole of Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Maidstone, Tenterden, Hythe, and surrounding areas. Travel within 20 miles of Ashford is included in the session fee.
Can I get prints and wall art from my family portrait session?
Absolutely. After your session you'll have the opportunity to order museum-quality fine art prints, canvas prints, and framed wall art from your gallery. I can advise on the best sizes and formats for your home.
