Nadine Loretta is a Basingstoke-based family photographer specialising in natural, relaxed portraits. She captures authentic moments with babies, children and whole-family images you’ll cherish.
Nadine Loretta is a specialist family photographer based in Basingstoke, focused on creating natural, emotive portraits that reflect real family life. With family photography as a core discipline, Nadine’s work centres on calm, relaxed sessions that let personalities shine — from sleepy newborn snuggles to playful moments between siblings and gentle parent-child connections. Her approach is warm and unobtrusive. Rather than forcing poses, Nadine guides families through easy, instinctive interactions that result in honest expressions and timeless compositions. She combines documentary-style storytelling with thoughtful portraiture: candid sequences capture the lived-in emotions of a family while carefully framed portraits provide elegant keepsakes. This blend suits busy parents and camera-shy children, producing images that feel both authentic and beautifully finished. Working with babies and young children requires patience and a gentle touch, and Nadine prioritises safety and comfort throughout every newborn and baby session. She creates a relaxed atmosphere where families can be themselves — no rush, plenty of breaks, and a focus on those fleeting details that matter most: tiny hands, sleepy yawns, and the quiet connections between parents and little ones. The process is straightforward and friendly. After an initial conversation about your family and what you want to remember, Nadine recommends locations and light that suit your style — whether that’s a cosy at-home session, a soft outdoor shoot around Basingstoke, or a simple studio portrait. On the day she works with a calm, encouraging energy to help everyone feel at ease, then carefully edits the images to a consistent, timeless aesthetic. Families choose Nadine because she treats each session as a collaboration: she listens, adapts to children’s rhythms, and aims to create a relaxed experience with results that become treasured family heirlooms. If you’re looking for a Basingstoke family photographer who specialises in newborns, children and whole-family portraits, Nadine offers experienced, patient, and beautifully crafted photography that captures the heart of family life.
