Say So Photography

I’m Say So Photography — a Basford-based family photographer who specialises in creating honest, timeless family portraits. My work centres on capturing the small, genuine moments that make your family unique: the shy smile, the quick giggle, the way siblings lean on each other. Whether you prefer the controlled light of my Nottingham studio or the natural backdrop of a local park, I tailor each session to suit your family’s personality and pace. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I focus on a calm, friendly atmosphere that helps children relax and be themselves. Years of working with families, babies and children have taught me how to read moods, find playful beats, and gently guide everyone so I can capture authentic expressions rather than forced poses. My aim is simple: produce portraits you’ll be proud to display — images that feel like you. My approach is collaborative and low-pressure. Before your session we’ll discuss locations, clothing tips and what matters most to you so the shoot reflects your story. On the day I work quickly and warmly with kids and parents, using natural prompts and familiar games to create candid moments alongside more composed family portraits. For newborns and babies I take extra care to create a comfortable, soothing environment so even the littlest members of the family are safe and content. I provide a professional studio set-up in Nottingham for classic, clean family portraits and creative looks, but I also enjoy on-location shoots that use Basford’s parks and nearby nature as a backdrop. The result is a mix of relaxed lifestyle images and timeless portraits — perfect for walls, albums or special keepsakes. If you’re looking for a Basford family photographer who puts people first and specialises in capturing family life with warmth and honesty, let’s talk. I’ll help plan a session that suits your family, pace, and style so you end up with images you’ll cherish for years.
