Nic Shuttleworth is a family photographer based in Yorkshire, passionate about telling thoughtful stories full of warmth and personality. Drawing on many years of experience in design & art direction, Nic combines evocative documentary photography, presented with the eye of an accomplished art director to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces of art for families and their homes. Nic loves to meet people of all ages. When she was little, her mum was a mobile hairdresser and she travelled around the village in the holidays with her and a bag full of rollers and sprays. Keeping clients entertained with stories apparently, she never stopped talking, or drawing and painting things for anyone who would take them! It’s this sense of photography, as ‘storytelling’ that lies at the heart of her approach. Fascinated by the creative potential of a photograph to capture something truly unique and special about a particular moment. Whether it’s a moment of togetherness, connection, joy, laughter, or, perhaps reflection, Nic is looking to make photographs that glimpse and preserve images of real lives, loved ones, families, and friendships that are filled with narrative and meaning. To make photographs like this takes a combination of curiosity and creative intuition. A kind of readiness, that puts her and her camera in the right place at the right time, to see and catch the moment unfolding. That, and sometimes just a little luck as well. Most of these qualities were first primed all those years ago on her mum’s mobile hairdressing round, they’ve been nurtured ever since by my lifelong interest in real people, real lives, and storytelling.

Hi, I’m Nina, busy mum of two and fiercely passionate documentary photographer. In my career both as a photographer and picture editor I have won awards, commissioned some of the world’s top photographic talent and photographed some extraordinary people both in the UK and overseas. I’m driven by the power of photography to capture and preserve the magic in everyday moments. My real-life family photos show not just what your family looks like but more poignantly, what it feels like to be you at a particular moment in time. When we look back at our lives in years to come, what could be more special than seeing our memories reflected back at us in a way that feels truly authentic? When I’m not stumbling over piles of Lego / frantically pushing my two daughters out of the door for the school run, you will find me drinking a strong black coffee, escaping to an art exhibition, trying my best to read a good book without being interrupted or planning my next adventure in my 80s camper van. Get in touch if you’d like to start the conversation about capturing the story of your family life.

Mum of 2, I found my love of documenting real life whilst capturing my eldest growing up. I loved the idea of us all being able to relive family life in a really genuine way, being able to feel the moments all over again. Not just the usual holidays and adventures but the everyday things too. I’m guessing you’re here because you’re looking for an alternative to traditional lifestyle family photography and videography. Like me, you HATE the idea of posing. You also know your kids probably won’t respond well to ‘direction’ to get that perfect family portrait or the baby will choose the photoshoot day to be grizzly! Whether you’re camera shy, worry your house isn’t ‘photo shoot’ worthy or simply struggling to find time to fit in a family shoot then I may have the answer for you. Because my documentary approach to family photography allows me to capture those 'real', honest family moments. To capture the connections, the silliness, the knowing smiles, and all the moments in-between that you may even miss in your everyday. So if you're after an alternative to documenting family life and want someone to come with their camera and make it feel more like a friend was hanging out with you...then it would be lovely to hear from you. We can chat some more and help you work out if I'm the perfect family photographer and videographer for you. Award-winning documentary family photographer and videographer based in Lancashire.

Hi I'm Karen and I'm a family and brand photographer based on the London / Surrey borders. To me, family is everything. Milestones are important, they mark our journey through life, but for me those everyday connections with the people you love are what we will want to remember. Over the last twelve years of being a professional photographer I've witnessed and documented so many wonderful moments within families whether it be at celebrations or everyday life at home. I know from experience how fleeting childhood is ...even if it doesn't feel like it at the time! I can't believe how quickly my three boys grew up and I'm so glad I had my camera around to document most of it. As parents, we need to be in the photos too so that our children can see how much they are loved and re-live the many funny, messy, emotional moments that make up family life. When I'm not photographing families, you'll find me out on long walks with my dog, exploring a bit of street photography or trying to perfect the ultimate Thai curry.

I'm based between Kent and Jersey in the Channel Islands, my family home. I've had a love of photography from an early age and I've been lucky enough to have been photographing weddings professionally for 11 years, and more recently families. I have a passion for creating authentic, honest imagery and have fallen in love with documenting family life. As a mother myself, I know all too well how quickly children grow up. I would have adored having those wonderful, funny, tricky, chaotic, emotional, real moments captured and that I had been in the frame! I love capturing the connections and dynamics between a family and freezing those moments that often as a parent go unseen. Magical moments in isolation. I come from a family of creatives so I suppose it was no surprise photography would be in my life. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me in the garden where I can totally lose myself or making sourdough!

I live on the Kent coast with my husband Steve, another photographer, and our French Bulldog, Ozzy. I've been a full time wedding photographer for almost 10 years, and have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I love the unpredictability of weddings and capturing moments that could never be preconceived. I take the same approach in my family photography, simply spending time with you all and seeing what happens and where the shoot takes us. Life moves by so fast; we all grow older, tiny babies become children, those children become teenagers and before long they are independent adults. With family photography, there's no time like the present to capture you all exactly as you are, at this moment in your lives. I have been a member of the WPJA since early 2010, and was their top UK photographer in 2016. In early 2017 I was awarded the title of ''Wedding Photographer of the Year'' in both the regional and national finals of The Wedding Industry Awards. My work takes me all over the UK telling stories with my camera. Visit my website and let me know if you would like me to tell yours.

I am a proud Mummy of two amazing children Michael and Grace. These two certainly keep me on my toes. I have been married to my best friend John since 2010, therefore family means everything to me and we love spending time together. Hiking, travelling, making memories and having fun are extremely important to me. I am a morning person and often I will get up at 5 am just to enjoy a good coffee, early mornings are a perfect time to do that. I love an outdoor lifestyle! Therefore long walks and campfires are right up my street! I am a huge animal lover, I used to have horses but now we only have our dog ‘Freeman’. He is a huge part of our family! I’ve grown up in a home where all forms of art were greatly appreciated. My Grandma still owns an art gallery. Photography has always been my hobby and passion! I speak Italian and Polish thanks to my family bloodlines! I like pizza, cheese, gin, pizza, cheese, pizza (did I mention that I like pizza?) I also love holidays, driving, reading and obviously I love PHOTOGRAPHY! Above all, a good night out with friends is a must now and again! Although I love travelling and meeting new people. I also always find time to go to the theatre to see a good show too.

I’m Alex and I’m a multi-award-winning photographer, husband to an amazing wife, and father to a beautiful daughter. Currently living in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside. I’ve been doing this for several years now but I still feel incredibly fortunate that I get to take photographs full time for a living, and I absolutely love shooting documentary wedding & family photography. This isn’t a job to me, it’s a passion! I absolutely love documenting real family life, whether it's my own or my clients. This photojournalistic style of family photography is about capturing all the wonderful things that make your family story so unique. No posed group shots in matching sweaters here! My job is to photograph you guys doing what you do best, being a family. Think of me as a friendly fly on the wall, with a camera, and a beard. I offer several different photography packages, from quick 2-hour mini-sessions to a full 'Year In The Life' documentary package. So whether at your home or on location, these sessions will capture what real family life is all about. The laughter and love, the tears and tantrums. Real, genuine, and honest images that are yours.

I am a documentary wedding and family photographer who lives in Istanbul and Izmir but can shoot anywhere in the world. I guess that having the flexibility of traveling also stems from the fact that; I am a travel and documentary photographer. I have worked in photography committee of travel, geography and culture magazine Atlas which is published in Turkey and Europe for a long time and I have photographed and written my themes. Apart from that, I also worked for a while as a photo editor for Skylife magazine. I took photos for many magazines and newspapers. I did editorial shootings for numerous magazines and newspapers. I think these different fields that I came to grips with in past enabled me to look at wedding and family photography from different angles.
