V Bowden Photography

I’m Vicki — a mum of two and a former primary teacher with a love for photographing family life. At V Bowden Photography I specialise in family photography in and around Aylesbury, creating relaxed, natural images that celebrate everyday connection. My approach is friendly, patient, supportive and creative — designed to put you and your children at ease so I can capture the real moments you’ll treasure. Why choose me? My background as a qualified teacher and a 0–5 child development specialist means I understand babies and young children: what calms them, how to encourage gentle interactions and when to wait for the perfect, unforced expression. I work sensitively around younger children and new parents, keeping baby’s needs and Mum’s wellbeing at the heart of every session. Being a local parent myself, I know how important it is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where genuine smiles and tender moments can happen naturally. My style is timeless and natural — I look for connection, movement and the little details that tell your family’s story. Sessions can take place in the familiar comfort of your home or in seasonal outdoor locations around Buckinghamshire. I favour soft, natural light and unobtrusive direction so that photos feel authentic rather than overly posed. Whether it’s play in the garden, a quiet cuddle on the sofa, or children exploring the woods, I watch and wait for those honest moments that make great photographs. How I work with you: before your session we’ll have a relaxed chat about location, clothing and what matters most to you. On the day I’ll lead gently, using simple prompts and a few conversation starters for shy children so the session flows naturally. After the shoot you’ll receive a private gallery where you can choose the images you love, and I’m happy to advise on printing and displaying your favourites so they become part of your home. I love creating photographs families return to again and again. If you’re looking for warm, authentic family portraits in Aylesbury that capture real life — I’d love to chat and help you preserve these special moments.
