Family Photography in Stockport

Family photographs create a memory of a time that we never get back, something visual for you to keep forever. If it is families posed in front of studio back drops that you want to book, then I will be completely honest in saying I’m probably not the photographer you want.

Photographs to cherish

My family photography style is evolving constantly but the one thing that never changes is my desire to create natural, fun and emotive photographs for you to treasure for years to come. I love to capture the silly, funny moments from your family shoot. The sweet moments that you will soon forget as they grow. The tiny feet, the curly hair, the blonde locks that become darker as they grow older.

Because each session lasts 1-2 hours, it allows me the time to get pictures of your family, which really does help to give you the best value from your shoot. Many families I have worked with commented on how relaxed they felt with it taking place at their own home, without having to throw the kids in the car!

“This photo shoot meant we were able to capture some memories of our newborn daughter even during these strange times. Being in our own garden was lovely and meant we were able to completely relax and enjoy the shoot. Dave was so friendly and professional – we immediately felt at ease in his company. 
Thank you, Dave for the beautiful photos. Highly recommended.” – The Scarll Family

Stockport baby photography

More recently families have been getting in touch to ask for maternity shoots and pictures of their new born babies. Some have been just a week old. It’s great to see so many smiling Mum’s and Dad’s and the joy that their new additions have brought to them. It also allows them to show beautiful, natural and professional photographs to their families who may not be able to visit their new baby.

“We loved having Dave capture our time spent in lockdown with a doorstep photoshoot, a great reminder of this unique time. He was professional yet friendly and great with the kids. I was so pleased with the gallery we received, the photos were all fab. Thanks Dave!” – The Hesketh Family
