The approach

Real moments, real families

I photograph families the same way I photograph weddings — by blending in, keeping things relaxed, and letting moments happen rather than manufacturing them.
If your kids are running around, brilliant. If the dog keeps getting in shot, even better. If someone cries laughing, perfect. That’s the stuff you’ll want to look back on in twenty years.
Sessions are typically outdoors — a favourite woodland, a local park, your back garden, or a stretch of Lincolnshire countryside. Somewhere that feels like you.

Common questions

Before you book

Where do sessions take place?
Wherever feels right for your family. Popular spots include Belton House, Stamford Meadows, Rutland Water and Burghley Park — but I’m happy to work anywhere.
What should we wear?
Whatever feels like you — comfortable clothes in soft, complementary tones photograph best. No need to match.
What if the kids won't cooperate?
That’s half the fun. I never force it — we keep it playful and let the real personalities come out.
When will we get the photos?

Your gallery is usually ready within 2 weeks max, with a few favourites sooner.

What families say

★★★★★
James joined us in our home to take some family photos before we move out. A true professional who made us all feel comfortable from the moment he arrived. The photos are exceptional quality and really captured us in the moment — exactly what we wanted.
Orchard Family
★★★★★
I booked James for my mum’s 80th at The George in Stamford and am so glad I did. He showed up exactly when he said, worked around our group of 25 to capture lovely informal moments, and sent the pictures over a few days later, beautifully graded. My mum is thrilled.
Hayes Family
★★★★★
Our first time working with James and we were blown away by his professionalism, flexibility and commitment. He perfectly captured the individual personalities of each of us, and the family as a whole. Wish I could give him 6 stars!
