ST ALBANS & HARPENDEN NURSERY PHOTOGRAPHY

CHARACTERFUL PORTRAITS THAT PARENTS LOVE

Hi, I’m Emma, an award winning documentary family photographer.

I come into contact with lots of families in my line of work, it was through listening to parents during photoshoots that I realised there was a place for documentary within a nursery setting. So I set out to do something different from traditional nursery photography.

I create characterful environmental portraits and beautiful documentary images that parents love. It gives parents a chance to see from afar their child’s blossoming personality and what they get up to when they take their first steps away from home. There’s something lovely in capturing a sense of place too as nursery is such a special time.

“The photos came home yesterday from Playgroup, and they are just beautiful. You are so very talented and we are very grateful.”

WHAT IS DOCUMENTARY NURSERY PHOTOGRAPHY?

Fun: children can play as normal, they don’t even realise their photos are being taken.

Natural: capturing children without any posing means beautiful natural portraits full of character and expression.

Unique: it is not a studio conveyor belt, so every photo is different and focuses on capturing the unique personality of each child.

Context: incorporating the environment gives an insight into nursery life.

…It’s great for nurseries too as its less stressful for staff, and I can include staff photos and setting photos for advertising.  

“Thanks so much Emma YOU NAILED IT AGAIN! I really love them, AND I really loved the ONES you took last year with her big brother!”
