Beau-Louise Photography

I'm Jane — the photographer behind Beau‑Louise Photography, based in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. Family photography is my core passion and specialism: I focus on creating warm, honest portraits that reflect real family relationships, whether that's newborn cuddles, playful children, milestone birthday smiles or the quiet moments between generations at a baptism or communion. My background working with children (trained as a Nursery Nurse and with decades of experience in nurseries, schools and clinics) means I bring patience, calm and empathy to every family session. Families trust me because I know how to put children at ease, how to read mood and energy, and how to capture authentic expressions rather than stiff poses. That gentle, conversational approach is at the heart of how I work — I aim for relaxed, natural images that you'll cherish for years to come. Sessions take place in my purpose‑built home studio in Arnold or at carefully chosen outdoor locations across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands. I prefer to tailor each shoot: we’ll talk beforehand about what you want to celebrate, the look you like and any special details to include. On the day I create a friendly, unrushed atmosphere so that everyone — from newborns to grandparents — feels comfortable. I combine candid family interaction with a few posed portraits to give you a varied gallery of memories. My clients value the personal service: a clear pre‑shoot chat, sensitive handling of children and babies, thoughtful direction for natural poses, and careful editing so your final images reflect the moment and mood. I offer dress hire for maternity shoots and can accommodate pets and multi‑generation groups when required — all as part of a bespoke family experience rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all session. If you want a family photographer in Arnold who genuinely loves working with children and families, who brings real experience and a calm, reassuring presence to every session, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re planning a studio family portrait, a lifestyle home shoot, an outdoor session with the kids, or photos to mark a newborn, baptism, communion or birthday, Beau‑Louise Photography aims to capture the moments that matter — honestly, warmly and beautifully.
