Top 100 Family Photographers in the World
I was delighted to finish 2020 as one of This is Reportage: Family Top 100 Photographers in the World. Their awards are ridiculously hard to win and are fully dedicated to documentary family photography.
Capturing real family moments is something very close to my heart and it is an honour to be recognised by this awesome community.
North West Family Photographer
I have had the pleasure of photographing so many wonderful families across the North West of England. I am based on the Fylde coast, just inland from the sunny seaside resort of Blackpool but cover the whole of the North West. My favoured locations for Family Photography are here in my home county of Lancashire and up in the beautiful Lake District.

REAL FAMILIES. REAL MOMENTS.
Family photography should not be boring or staged…in my opinion anyway. Being a dad to two cheeky, funny and beautiful little girls I know that creating real memories of how they are and their characters is more important than a staged photo with a forced smile. Documentary Family Photography isn’t everyones cup-of-tea but I absolutely love capturing the real side of family life! If you like your family photos to be natural with no added cheese then I’m the photographer for you!
DOCUMENTARY APPROACH
My Family photography sessions are designed to capture you and your family in a real way doing the things you enjoy doing. I shoot from newborn all the way up to Grandparents and never force fun and create fake smiles.
I ask my families to choose something they love doing together. This could be football on the beach, splashing in puddles at the park, baking cakes at home, walking the dog in the woods or simply just colouring, playing and creating at home. Whatever it is you choose to do in our session I will be there to capture some amazing memories of you doing it.
I offer both ‘Full’ and ‘Mini’ sessions and will travel to wherever it is you and your wonderful family is based or would like to take me.
My sessions are not for those families who want studio backgrounds or loads of forced group photos. They are creative documentary which give an insight in to how you were at that certain time of your lives.
LAUGHTER, TEARS & SNOTTY NOSES
Yes there may be tears and snotty noses, but that’s life with children, I know firsthand that those photos of the tantrums or food all round their mouths at dinner time will bring back so many memories in the years to come.
PORTRAITS
As you will see from my work I do love portraits just as much as those natural moments. I love light and using it to create portraits. These don’t have to be staged and forced though. During our session there will be so many opportunities to capture a number of portraits of you and your children without telling them to “sit there”, “look this way”, “smile at the camera”. No, I don’t buy in to that approach. Get your kids laughing, which in turn will get you smiling and this makes some really natural portraits.
Mini-Family Shoots
I am now offering mini versions of my popular Family Shoots. My Mini-Family Shoots are basically just shorter versions of my family shoots. These 45 minute sessions are already proving extremely popular for a quick photo-fix.
