Once Upon A Time Photography is a family photography studio rooted in Biddulph and serving Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire area. Led by Becky Louise, the studio is built around one clear purpose: making memories matter. If you want family portraits that feel genuine, timeless and full of personality, Becky’s calm, creative approach delivers images you’ll be proud to display for years to come. Why choose Once Upon A Time Photography? Becky combines technical skill with a warm, patient manner — many clients call her a “baby whisperer” for the way she soothes little ones and brings out natural expressions. That same gentle professionalism extends to family groups of all sizes: whether you’re booking a multi-generation portrait in the studio or an upbeat children’s session, the aim is always the same — capture the real relationships, the small gestures and the laughter that tells your family’s story. What makes the approach special is the studio environment and attention to detail. The purpose-built studio offers a relaxed, private setting with thoughtfully chosen backdrops, props and a designer wardrobe for maternity clients. Becky’s creative eye and advanced editing ensure every image is finished to a fine-art standard while retaining authentic emotion. The focus is on creating lasting pieces of wall art and keepsakes that feel personal and beautifully made. How the photographer works with families: sessions are relaxed and family-led. Becky will guide poses and interactions in a friendly, unobtrusive way so children and adults can be themselves. Newborns, babies and sitter sessions are handled with extra care and patience; maternity shoots are styled to celebrate this unique chapter; and children’s and birthday-focused shoots (including themed cake-smash experiences) are fun, energetic and tailored to your child’s personality. As a local, family-run studio, Once Upon A Time Photography values repeat relationships — many families return as children grow. If you want a specialist family photographer in Biddulph who blends skill, warmth and creativity, Becky Louise offers a trusted, professional service that captures the moments you’ll want to hold on to forever.
