Kelly Simonds Portrait

If you want family photos that feel like artwork rather than a handful of snapshots, you’re in the right place. I’m Kelly Simonds and as a specialist family photographer serving Amersham and Buckinghamshire I focus on creating fine art family portraits that celebrate personality, connection and the little moments that matter. My approach is relaxed, personal and tailored. I understand how unpredictable children (and family life) can be, so I work with humour, patience and a calm presence to help everyone feel at ease. Whether you’re after timeless portraits of the whole family, natural images of your children, or gentle newborn and baby work, I aim to capture true expressions and relationships — images you’ll be proud to display at home. From our first chat to the finished artwork, the experience is designed to be simple and enjoyable. We start with a friendly consultation where we talk about what you love and how you want your photos to look. On the day, I guide you through the session so you can relax and be yourselves. My studio — a warm, welcoming space near Amersham/Great Missenden with convenient parking — is set up to make shoots calm and comfortable for all ages. What makes my work different is the focus on creating heirloom-quality pieces for your home. You won’t be overwhelmed with endless digital files; instead you’ll see a curated selection of hand-edited, fine art portraits and we’ll work together at your viewing appointment to choose prints and wall art that suit your home and style. I bring frame and print samples to help you visualise the finished pieces so your portraits become a crafted part of your interior. I love the quiet joy of capturing family life — the hair-tousle, the quiet glance, the exuberant laugh — and turning those moments into beautifully crafted portraits. If you’re after a friendly, professional experience with images you’ll treasure, let’s have a chat and plan a family photoshoot that really reflects who you are.
