Berkshire Family Photographer
Berkshire is a beautifully varied county for family photography — the ancient beech woods and heathland of the Berkshire Downs, the Thames-side beauty of Mapledurham and Pangbourne, the Windsor Great Park with its ancient oaks and deer parkland, and the gentle meadows of the Kennet Valley. Whether you're based in Reading, Newbury, Wokingham, or Maidenhead, there are exceptional family session locations close to home.
I travel across Berkshire for family sessions. Windsor Great Park in autumn is truly spectacular — the Long Walk in golden light with deer in the distance is one of the finest family photography settings in England.

Berkshire Family Photography FAQs
When is the best time to book a family session in +
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) give the best light and colour. Summer golden-hour sessions (6–8pm) are especially beautiful. I recommend booking 6–8 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date.
What if my children won't cooperate?+
Completely normal — I work in a relaxed, child-led way. I don't direct children into poses; I follow their lead and photograph the real interactions. The best images often come from 'uncooperative' moments.
Which Berkshire location would you recommend?+
It depends on your family's personality and what kind of images you want. I'm happy to advise based on your preferences — contact me and we'll find the perfect spot.
Can we bring our dog?+
Absolutely — dogs are very welcome. They often add the best moments of the session. Just let me know in advance so I can plan the location to be dog-friendly.
How long until we receive our photos?+
Your private online gallery will be ready within 10 business days of the session. You'll receive a link to download all your images in full resolution.
