Captured by Ellie

Captured by Ellie is a specialist family photographer based in Aldershot, bringing a natural, honest and relaxed approach to family photography. Ellie’s work centres on documenting real family life — the little gestures, quiet connections and unscripted laughter — so your photographs feel like you, not a posed version of you. Why choose Ellie for your family photoshoot? Her approach is warm and unhurried. Working from a cosy, natural-light studio with neutral tones and on location outdoors, she designs sessions that let children roam, explore and be themselves. There’s no fussy posing or forced smiles — Ellie guides families gently, using conversation and play to create relaxed moments that photograph beautifully. This makes her sessions especially good for parents who want authentic portraits but worry about camera-shy little ones. Ellie’s style is described as natural, honest, fun and relaxed. She believes the best family portraits happen when everyone is comfortable, so she focuses on connection, light and simple compositions that will sit beautifully in your home for years to come. Whether it’s a wander in a local park at sunset or a quiet studio session, the emphasis is on capturing your family as you are now — candid, connected and unmistakably yours. The experience with Captured by Ellie is personal and considered. From the first enquiry to receiving your images, Ellie aims to make the process straightforward and friendly: planning the shoot to suit your children’s rhythms, choosing locations or studio setups that complement your family, and creating a calm atmosphere on the day so you can relax and enjoy being together. The result is a collection of timeless images that tell the story of your family in an honest way.
