Marion and You Photography

As a family photography specialist based in Beckenham, Marion and You Photography focuses on telling the authentic story of your family in a calm, natural way. Marion’s work is driven by a belief that the best portraits are born from real moments — the quiet smiles, the tiny hand held in yours, the way siblings look at each other. She approaches each session with a documentary sensibility, favouring natural light and candid interaction over forced poses. Clients choose Marion because she quickly creates an atmosphere of ease and trust. Whether we’re meeting at a favourite local spot in Beckenham or relaxing together in your home, Marion spends time getting to know you first — a short pre-session chat ensures she understands what matters to your family and the moments you want to remember. During the photoshoot she works gently and patiently, following children’s rhythms and capturing genuine behaviour rather than staged expressions. The result is a collection of images that feel intimate, timeless and unmistakably yours. Marion’s process is unhurried and thoughtful. Sessions are paced to suit families, allowing for play, breaks and spontaneous moments so nothing feels rushed. She uses soft, natural tones and simple compositions to keep the focus on emotion and connection. Many families appreciate how unobtrusive Marion is: she observes, prompts with light direction when needed, and lets the story unfold. This approach produces images that are both beautiful on the wall and meaningful as family heirlooms. While family photography is Marion’s core speciality, she also offers maternity sessions for those wanting to celebrate pregnancy with the same sensitive, natural style. For both family and maternity photography, Marion can advise on how to display your images — from fine-art prints to heirloom albums — helping you turn photos into treasured keepsakes. If you’re in Beckenham or the surrounding South East London area and are looking for a family photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a relaxed experience, Marion and You Photography offers a personal, professional service aimed at preserving the small, unforgettable moments that make up family life.
