Stockport Photographers

Professional family portrait photographers in the Stockport area are easy enough to find, but you want to ensure that you choose someone who will capture your family as you want them to be captured. For some families having their portrait taken is a special occasion, so choose wisely. Some families and photographer opt for a more ‘posed’ look, others (like myself) love to capture families quite naturally, but include group shots too. As all artists have their own unique style, so do photographers.  It is therefore imperative that whichever Stockport Photographer you choose, you are happy with their style and the types of photographs they take. You can always get an idea of style from a photographer’s website where there should be plenty of portfolio work to have a look through. Check out my style here.

Where will my Family Photoshoot take place?

If you book me for your session, I have a photography studio on the border of Cheadle Hulme and Bramhall.  It is approximately 15 minutes drive from the centre of Stockport with onsite parking.  I offer family portraits in the studio which are incorporated in to all of my newborn, baby and cake smash sessions as part of the packages. However, if you are looking at getting a family photoshoot my recommendation especially with young children is to have an outdoor session. Outdoor and Lifestyle Family photography shoots bring the best out of the children. It’s the one place where they become themselves as they don’t feel restricted. Some of my favourite family photographs are of families interacting with one another without even noticing you capturing the moment. These moments define you as a family.

What time of year is it best to have Professional Family Portraits in Stockport taken and when should I book?

All seasons are amazing to photograph for different reasons. The colours of Autumn and Spring are amazing, but equally the gorgeous light that you can get in Summer and Winter are like nothing else. Autumn is always a really busy period for outdoor family photoshoots for me. It’s that time of year that people start to think about Christmas presents for family members and want to get organised.  If you know in advance that you would like a session then my advice would be to book it as early as possible.  Spaces are limited and because of the demand for weekend sessions they book up quickly.

Where do the sessions take place?

I venture all over Stockport and South Manchester depending on where my families are based and where my clients want their sessions to take place.  As a Stockport Photographer I am very fortunate to have so many lovely locations to use for my sessions practically on the doorstep. Bramhall Park, Lyme Park and Dunham Massey are fantastic venues and very popular but I am always happy to make a recommendation to suit you and your family circumstances. I understand how important it is to create professional Family Portraits for my families in Stockport so I promise to invest in you and capture you beautifully telling the story of you and your family.

Here are the lovely Clarkes from Bramhall, during their Family Photoshoot just before Christmas! I love the colours in these images!
