Life Photographic in Basford specialises in relaxed, contemporary family photography. We create natural, fun portraits of families, babies and children with a creative, editorial approach.
Life Photographic is a Basford‑based specialist in family photography, bringing a relaxed, creative studio experience to families across Nottingham and the surrounding area. Rooted in a fashion and editorial background, our approach combines contemporary styling with a warm, down‑to‑earth manner that puts both children and adults at ease. The result is natural, expressive portraits that capture personality and the small, unforgettable moments between family members. Why choose Life Photographic? We focus on making the shoot enjoyable and authentic. Drawing on years of experience working with children and large family groups, the photographer knows how to gently direct and prompt playful interaction rather than force posed smiles. This relaxed direction produces images that feel honest and alive — portraits you’ll want to display at home and share with family for years to come. Our style is contemporary and creative: clean white‑room portraits sit alongside more editorial, textured setups created in our warehouse studio. Because of our fashion experience we design thoughtful backdrops and lighting that elevate ordinary family photographs into striking, modern images. We welcome newborns, babies and children and work sensitively to capture their character while keeping the atmosphere calm and fun. How we work: from the first enquiry we aim to make the process simple and friendly. We collaborate with you on ideas and welcome special requests so the session reflects your family’s personality — whether you want relaxed lifestyle portraits, joyful children’s images or polished family portraits. During the shoot we guide movement and interaction, encouraging laughter, natural expressions and candid moments. Post‑session, your images are carefully edited to enhance tone and mood while preserving the genuine feel of the moment. Life Photographic is passionate about photographing families. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, a creative eye and the ability to relax clients of all ages. If you’re in Basford or the Nottingham area and want contemporary, memorable family portraits that reflect who you are, Life Photographic specialises in creating that experience with warmth, professionalism and creativity.
