Rebecca Brennan Photography

Rebecca Brennan is an Ampthill-based, documentary family photographer who specialises in capturing the honest, unscripted moments that make family life unforgettable. Her approach is simple: hang out, make it fun, and let real life unfold with a camera quietly present. Whether you’re wrangling toddlers in the garden, sharing a chaotic kitchen moment, or enjoying quiet, candid connection, Rebecca sees the little stories that often go unnoticed and turns them into images you’ll return to for years. Why choose Rebecca? She brings a storyteller’s eye to every session. Her background of travel and life experience influences a relaxed, human-centred style that values emotion over perfection. Rebecca loves photographing kids—their unpredictability and humour are central to her work—and she’s proud of creating a calm, playful atmosphere where children (and adults) can be themselves. She describes her sessions as “no awkward shoots”: more hanging out than posing, with plenty of laughter and the occasional bad joke to keep things light. What makes her approach special is the focus on documentary storytelling. Rebecca aims to capture the in-between moments—the sideways glances, the tiny gestures, the messy, wonderfully weird parts of family life that tell the full story. She values honesty and warmth in every frame, producing images that feel lived-in and true to your family’s personality. Many clients comment on how natural and effortless the photos feel, because Rebecca’s aim is to fit seamlessly into your day rather than interrupt it. How she works: sessions are relaxed and tailored to your family’s rhythm. Short outdoor or at-home shoots are perfect for capturing connection and play; for families who want a deeper record, Rebecca offers day-in-the-life sessions that document a full day of real life—from breakfasts and school runs to bedtime rituals. For those seeking simple portraits, she also offers headshot-style sessions as an occasional add-on, always keeping the emphasis on comfort and authenticity rather than stiff formality. Based in Ampthill and serving Bedfordshire and the surrounding area, Rebecca brings warmth, patience, and a keen eye for story to every family session. If you want images that celebrate your family exactly as you are—messy, noisy, tender and true—Rebecca Brennan is a specialist who’ll help you freeze those moments into photographs you’ll cherish.
