ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Elle (L-E): Your Family’s Storyteller

As a mum, I get it: families are not always relaxing or fun and having your photo taken can be anything but natural. But your family is hard won and that’s worth celebrating with photographs you can cherish. Parenting is juggling: love, chaos, acceptance, laughter, tears. You draw from reserves you didn’t know you had.

I aim to create relaxed, stress-free photo sessions where you’re allowed to just be. We’ll play games, make silly faces, and be led by your child(ren) and what they enjoy most to do with you.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING
  • The shoot was actually sooo fun!!
    My husband and I were feeling nervous about this experience as it’s not something we have done before, but really wanted to capture some photos of our boys to share with family. The shoot was actually sooo fun!! Chaos as our two year has a mind of his own and adored running round in the autumn leaves but Elle not only engaged him really well but managed to get genuinely the best photos of us as a family we have!
    – Zoe
  • We had a brilliant family photo shoot with Elle.
    She made it really fun and easy to get great photos – there are so many wonderful ones to choose from. She has also done a brand photo shoot and product photography for me in the past. All have been done SO well, with fantastic results. Would fully recommend for any photography work you need.

A phone call is the quickest, easiest way to discover if we’re going to be the right fit for each other. We can go over all of the details, preview some full galleries, and answer any questions. There’s no obligation to book anything, just a friendly and relaxed chat about how we can work together.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING

  • “We’ve come back to Elle multiple times…over the course of our Child’s life, marking milestones and our little ones life story. We keep going back, not just for the fast turn around time and the quality of the final product, but because we have fun every time.”

    Carl

  • “Elle managed to make our shoot so much fun for my five year old. It was relaxed and our smiles in the photos are perfect – thanks!”

FAQ

Your Questions Answered

Wear what makes you feel most comfortable and confident! Family photoshoots can look great when kids are able to fully express themselves in what they wear (makes them more comfortable on the shoot) or you can go for co-ordinating outfits. For a full guide of what to wear, read the post on my blog.

Family sessions often take place at a special place to your family outdoors or in your own home. Check out some outdoor location recommendations here.

My typical turn around time is 2-3 weeks.

Family photoshoots are limited to 6 people.

Examples: 2 parents, 4 kids // 2 parents, 2 grandparents, 2 kids

Extended family photoshoots with more than 6 people is an add-on for £75.

If you are a household with 2 adults and 5+ kids, please get in touch for a large immediate family or blended family exemption.

Whenever you like! I have a guide here about when you can book a photoshoot based on seasons and flower blooms.
