Natural family portraits in Chesham
Around forty minutes is what a small child has to give, so a booking is built to end inside that instead of filling a slot. Nothing gets asked of anybody twice.
The children are photographed doing whatever they are already doing, with pairs and singles picked off in between, and the one arranged frame of everybody taken when the mood permits rather than on cue. You choose from the whole take and receive files ready to print and to carry on a phone.

Why choose us
Relaxed sessions children enjoy
For a cake smash we let the mess and the fun happen, and photograph the delight as it unfolds. Older siblings are photographed before the new baby wherever possible, since a four-year-old who has already had their turn is considerably more cooperative afterwards.
One photographer runs the session, so the same person who met your children directs them, edits their pictures and hands the finished images over. We photograph the whole family together, then smaller groups and each child on their own, so every combination is covered.

Family Photographer in Chesham, FAQs
That is perfectly ordinary and never an issue for us. Tears, squirming and sudden sleepiness are all familiar, so we just stop, help settle your little one and pick up where we left off. Patience means an unsettled moment rarely affects the final photographs. Around Chesham we plan for landmarks such as St Mary's Church, the parish church beside Lowndes Park.
Most family sessions last around an hour, though we never rush. With newborns and toddlers we allow extra time for feeds, naps and cuddles, so your little ones stay happy. The pace is always led by your children, not the clock. Chesham and neighbouring Ley Hill, Chartridge and Bovingdon are all covered.
Absolutely you can. Family photography is about everyone together, so parents are firmly part of every Chesham session. We photograph the full family first, then smaller groupings and each child on their own, so you leave with cuddles, connection and every combination beautifully captured.
Both, and they hand you different pictures. Outdoors in Chesham normally means Lowndes Park, where the family is set in a place, season and weather included. Indoors at Northwood strips all of that away and leaves the faces. We keep both open until the day before and decide on the forecast. Pack a full change of clothes for the youngest either way.
Yes, and to Chartridge, Ley Hill and Bovingdon on the same footing. We begin from wherever you park rather than from an agreed gate, so tell us where the car is going and the route gets built from there. If grandparents are only coming for a slice of it, give us their window and those frames get taken before anything else.

A family photographer near Chesham
Chesham is well within our travel area. It sits close to Amersham and Chorleywood, which we cover too. We cover Chesham and the wider Buckinghamshire area for family photography, on location or in the studio, with no local travel charge.
Chesham is a Chilterns town set in the Chess valley, with a long history as a market town. Chesham station is the terminus of the London Underground Metropolitan line and the furthest station from central London on the network. For on-location sessions we often head to spots such as Lowndes Park, close to the well-known St Mary's Church.

Lowndes Park gives you open green in the centre of Chesham, and what open green is worth with young children is sightlines. Nobody spends the booking counting heads, and a child who bolts stays visible rather than vanishing round a corner, which removes much of the anxiety from a morning. The pond marks one edge of that ground, so it is worth settling at the start who is watching the water while the camera is busy. Sitting on the valley floor, the park is also the sheltered option on days when it is blowing over the higher ground out towards Chartridge and Ley Hill. Past that, the honest advice is about what you are actually buying. A picture made outdoors is a picture of your family somewhere, with season and weather and the town behind them, and that is the version that ends up large on a wall. An indoor one at Northwood removes all of that and leaves the faces with nothing to look at except each other, and that one is what relatives ask copies of. The two are not interchangeable, and most families want both while booking only one. Say which of those you want and the morning gets built for it. On clothes, choose a run of tones out of one family rather than matching outfits, since a row of identical shirts photographs as a uniform. Where the youngest is under three, the keepers almost always arrive during the stretches when nobody is being asked for anything.
