Specialist family photography in Bexhill-on-Sea. John Bloomfield captures natural newborn, children and multi-generation portraits on location across East Sussex & Kent or at his Battle studio.
John Bloomfield is a specialist family photographer based in Bexhill-on-Sea, working across East Sussex and Kent. His work is rooted in a simple aim: capturing moments that matter. Whether it’s newborn cuddles, playful children, or a multi‑generation family portrait, John’s approach is relaxed, warm and unhurried — designed to put everyone at ease and reveal genuine emotion. Why choose John? He blends years of hands‑on experience with a friendly, conversational style that helps even the most camera‑shy family members relax. John’s background with children’s portraiture, combined with his patient, playful manner, means he knows how to draw out spontaneous smiles and quiet, meaningful moments. Families appreciate his ability to balance candid storytelling with timeless posed shots so they end up with a varied collection that feels true to who they are. How he works with you: every session starts with a no‑obligation chat to understand what you want — a favourite location, a studio portrait, or a relaxed day at home. Sessions can be on location across East Sussex & Kent, at John’s studio in Battle, or a mix of both. His emphasis is on creating a calm, fun atmosphere: children are allowed to be children, grandparents are treated with respect and patience, and family pets are always welcome to join in. That flexibility means authentic family connections appear naturally in the images. What makes his approach special is the combination of technical skill and genuine human warmth. John spends time getting to know you, considers the best backdrops and lighting for your portraits, and guides the session so it feels effortless. After the shoot he works carefully on the edit, then meets you to shortlist and choose final images so the finished pieces reflect your taste — whether you want digital files, framed wall art or a keepsake album. John’s passion for family photography is personal: he loves telling family stories through pictures and creating heirloom images people will treasure. If you’re after approachable, professional family portraits in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex or Kent — photographed with humour, patience and an eye for the small moments — John Bloomfield is a specialist who will help you create lasting memories.
