Lorraine Claire Photography

I’m Lorraine, a family photographer based near Aldershot, and my work is all about capturing the real connections that make your family unique. I specialise in relaxed, timeless family photography — from playful moments with children to tender parent-and-child portraits. My style favours soft, neutral tones and careful, hand-edited images so your photographs feel elegant now and for generations to come. What sets my family sessions apart is the experience I create from the first message to the final gallery. I take time to learn about your family so each shoot is planned around your story and personalities. Whether we meet in my calm studio just outside Aldershot or choose one of Surrey’s beautiful outdoor locations at golden hour, I aim for a friendly, unhurried atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax into the moment. My approach is gentle and practical: I use handmade outfits and tasteful props to complement natural poses rather than distract from them. I guide interactions rather than force smiles, encouraging real laughter, little gestures and honest connection. Families often tell me they loved how comfortable and enjoyable the session felt — many parents even manage a little break while I photograph their children. After the shoot, every image is hand-edited in my signature style so you receive a cohesive collection of photographs that work beautifully as wall art or in albums. I’m passionate about helping families turn those images into lasting keepsakes and am happy to advise on how best to display your favourites at home. If you’re searching for a family photoshoot in Aldershot or the surrounding area, I’d love to hear about your ideas. I keep my sessions personal and limited each month so you get the time and attention your family deserves.
