We adore when full families come in for portraits. We’re privileged to share these special moments with you, knowing the memories will last forever.

“Absolutely so much fun , we all loved our family photoshoot. They were so good at capturing gorgeous photos of our young children and our family . Altogether such an enjoyable experience and we were treated so well . Thanks GWS we love our cherished memories to hang proudly on our wall. “
“Highly Recommend!! Kids had an amazing time at their photoshoot 😊 Graham & Allison couldn’t have been nicer, so patient and friendly! My son said afterwards Graham should be a kids comedian, so he was a hit! Allison kept my 2 year old amused which is not an easy job at all.
We went back to see the pictures and same again lovely relaxed atmosphere while we picked our favourite ones. Everything was then ready within 7 days to collect. Cannot fault the whole experience at all! We will definitely be back again.”

We would love to hear your family’s story, what connects you… what makes you special… then we’d love to craft that into the perfect portrait for you, so you can have that thought, those dreams on display at home.
Family Portraits Full of Fun & Laughter
Our family portrait sessions are all about capturing real connections, whether it’s a small, intimate group or a big multi-generational gathering. We create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where everyone—from the youngest to the oldest—can have fun, be themselves, and make great memories together.
Many families use the session as a chance to spend quality time with loved ones, laughing, playing, and even discovering new stories along the way. The result? Natural, beautiful portraits that reflect the love and personality of your family, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

A Family Experience
As much fun as the finished product is the photoshoot itself. As we all get into a jolly mood for the fun photos and then pause to reflect for the more serious ones, you’ll find that time soon flies by as your family enjoy this special time together.
Our spacious studio is set in beautiful rural surroundings and is all yours for the duration of the shoot. Arrive 15 minutes early so we can take the time to get you settled in and relaxed with a cup of tea or coffee before starting.
Booking Your Shoot
Our studio sessions are VERY popular. We are usually completely booked up 3-5 weeks in advance, so book as soon as you can.
You might want to bring a change of clothes and to try and ensure a similar colour palette between you all. We’ll send you information about all these practicalities before you come, to ensure you get the absolute most out of your day.
