Yorkshire Photography Services

I’m Paul at Yorkshire Photography Services — a Yorkshire-born photographer who specialises in family photography from my studio in Barnsley. Family work is my focus: I aim to capture the quiet, funny and heartfelt moments that make your family unique. Whether it’s a newborn’s first portrait, playful children’s sessions, christenings or birthday celebrations, I approach every shoot with the same goal: to create warm, honest images that feel true to you. My style is natural and story-led. I prefer to document real interactions and gentle direction rather than stiff poses, so photos feel relaxed and full of life. That approach helps children and babies settle quickly and lets parents enjoy the session — the best expressions happen when everyone is comfortable. I also welcome multi-generation portraits and pet-included family shoots for homes where animals are part of the family story. How I work: we start with a friendly conversation about what you want to remember and how you’d like to use your images. Sessions can take place in my Barnsley studio or on location across Yorkshire, depending on the light, season and the atmosphere you prefer. On the day I’ll create a calm, encouraging environment — plenty of patience with little ones, clear direction for group shots, and a mix of candid moments and classic family portraits so you end up with a balanced, timeless collection. Technical care and thoughtful editing ensure your photos look beautiful for years to come. Each image is carefully processed to enhance mood and detail while keeping skin tones and moments authentic. I provide images via a private online gallery so families can view and share easily, and I’m happy to advise on prints, albums or wall art to help you display those memories at home. Choosing Yorkshire Photography Services means working with a photographer who treats family sessions as more than a job — they’re personal stories to preserve. If you’re in Barnsley or nearby and want a specialist family photographer who values warmth, patience and honest storytelling, let’s plan a session that captures the real moments you’ll treasure.
