FrugalFocus Photography in Banbury specialises in relaxed, natural family and children portraits. Rory offers affordable, at-home or on-location shoots, a portable studio, and professional editing.
Hi — I’m Rory, the photographer behind FrugalFocus Photography. Based on the edge of the Cotswolds and serving Banbury and the wider Oxfordshire area, I specialise in family photography with a straightforward promise: professional quality that doesn’t break the bank. My passion is freezing the small, honest moments — the little smiles, the quiet cuddles and the energetic chaos that make family life uniquely yours. Why choose FrugalFocus for your family photoshoot? I bring a friendly, unhurried approach that helps everyone relax. Whether you prefer the comfort of your own home, the local park or a short walk around a favourite spot, I work to create a calm, natural atmosphere where real interactions shine. For newborn and baby sessions I use a professional portable at‑home studio to keep things convenient and safe for your little one; older children and family portraits often benefit from a mix of candid documentary-style shots and gentle direction to get those timeless group images. My style leans toward natural, documentary and candid photography — I won’t make your family pose for ages. Instead, I focus on capturing genuine moments and expressions while keeping your wishes at the heart of the session. I’m also fully DBS checked and insured for your peace of mind when working with babies and children. How it works: we start with a friendly chat about what you want to remember — milestones, newborn detail shots, cake-smash fun, or a relaxed family portrait. On the day I aim to create a relaxed, enjoyable session so you can be yourselves. After the shoot I carefully edit the chosen images and deliver them through a private online gallery so you can view and download at your leisure. I’m happy to guide you on choosing favourites to be professionally edited while providing the rest of the files for your own keepsakes. Serving Banbury, Oxfordshire and surrounding areas, FrugalFocus Photography is built on experience, warmth and a commitment to affordable quality. If you want family photos that feel honest, comfortable and truly you, get in touch — I’d love to help capture your memories.
