Ascot-based family specialist Debbie Hare captures natural, story-led family, newborn and children portraits. Fun, playful and relaxed sessions designed to create timeless family memories.
Great photos tell great stories — and as a family specialist based in Ascot, Debbie Hare brings that belief to every shoot. With a BA (Hons) in photography and more than 20 years capturing family life, Debbie has built a gentle, experienced approach that helps everyone from toddlers to grandparents feel relaxed, natural and themselves in front of the camera. Debbie’s work is storytelling-led: she looks for the spontaneous laughter, the small gestures and the everyday moments that become the images families cherish. Her sessions are deliberately fun, playful and informal — designed to let children explore while she quietly captures authentic interactions. Whether it’s a family portrait, newborn or baby session, children photography, a baptism or communion moment, or a milestone birthday shoot, Debbie treats each session as a bespoke visual story tailored to your family’s personality. How she works with you: the process starts with a warm discovery call to understand your family, the locations that matter and the images you want to create. Debbie helps with practical planning — from choosing the best time of day (golden hour lovers take note) to wardrobe tips and location ideas around Ascot, Windsor Great Park and the wider Berkshire area. On the day she fosters a calm, playful atmosphere so shoots are enjoyable for parents and children alike. She gently guides scenes when needed but prioritises natural moments that feel honest and timeless. Technically, Debbie favours natural light and creative compositions that highlight emotion, texture and connection. After the shoot she carefully edits the images and delivers a private gallery so you can choose the photographs that mean the most to you. Debbie’s local knowledge, combined with decades of photographic experience and a genuine love for family life, makes her a reassuring choice for anyone in Ascot and Berkshire who wants family photography with heart. If you want relaxed, story-led family portraits that feel like you — and will be treasured for years to come — Debbie Hare would love to tell your family’s story through her lens.
