Family photography with me is a relaxed, engaging experience designed to capture your real life. I focus on the candid moments—the laughter, the cuddles, the silly games, and the quiet glances—that truly define your family's unique bond.

Based in Red Lodge, we will meet at a beautiful outdoor location of your choice across Suffolk, Norfolk, or Cambridgeshire, where you are free to simply enjoy being together. Whether we are exploring the woods near Bury St Edmunds or a park in Newmarket, I ensure the session is stress-free and fun.

From guiding shy children to managing multi-generational groups, I specialize in relaxed, unforced moments that capture true personalities. You don't need to worry about high energy or 'perfect' posing—this is about documenting your chapter, beautifully and genuinely.

What should we wear for our family session?

I recommend coordinating colours rather than matching exactly, choose 3-4 complimentary colours (e.g navy, mustard, cream and denim) and avoid busy logos or neon colours. Most importantly, choose clothes that are comfortable and allow the children to move freely.

When and how will we receive our fully edited images?

My delivery process is exceptionally fast! All of your final, high-resolution, fully edited images are guaranteed to be delivered via your private online gallery within 48 hours of your session. You can easily download, share, and print your photos directly from the gallery.

What if my children don't cooperate or are shy?

Please don't worry—that is completely normal! My sessions are relaxed, and I use games, movement, and play to capture genuine, candid moments. We focus on fun and connection, not forced smiles. I allow plenty of time for breaks, snacks, and being silly, which often results in the best, most authentic photos.

How do you handle large groups, such as the "Add the In-Laws Session"?

My longer sessions are specifically designed for large and multi-generational groups. We start with the classic posed portrait, and then I transition quickly into smaller family groupings and candid interactions. I ensure every group combination is captured efficiently and beautifully without feeling rushed.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our outdoor shoot?

We always have a backup plan! If the weather forecast predicts heavy rain or dangerous conditions, we will happily reschedule your session to the next available date that works for your family, at no extra cost. We only proceed if the weather allows for a fun, enjoyable experience.

Today I met with Arron who's business page is tagged. We took a long walk to get some natural shots as a family to get an idea of Arron's work in the hopes to have him as our wedding photographer. I went in feeling confident but wow was I blown away by the results. Arron was professional and especially patient with the children. As a family who are not photos people as we feel very awkward typically we felt so comfortable. We finished taking the photos at approximately 1pm today and we received a link to our images (meaning no extra cost to us ) no later than 7pm this evening. With his talent and the fact he is the most affordable photographer around as he has expressed he wants people to be able to have professional photos done which is no longer affordable to most families anymore due to rising prices. Please if you're in need of a photographer contact Arron. You will not be disappointed!
