Jayne Poole Photography

Jayne Poole Photography is a family photography specialist based in the heart of North Devon, serving Bideford and the surrounding towns. With more than two decades behind the camera and a Licentiateship from the British Institute of Professional Photography, Jayne has built a reputation for creating warm, natural images that reflect real family life — not forced poses. Her work is rooted in a calm, friendly approach that helps everyone, from newborns to grandparents, feel at ease. Why choose Jayne for your family portraits? Jayne positions herself as a family specialist. She understands family dynamics, the unpredictable rhythms of children, and how to capture those fleeting moments that become treasured keepsakes. Whether you prefer the controlled comfort of her Great Torrington studio or the relaxed energy of a favourite location by the coast or countryside, Jayne tailors each session so the personalities and relationships in your family are what shine through. Her style is natural, timeless and gently artistic. Jayne blends classic portraiture with candid moments — allowing laughter, small gestures and quiet connections to create images that work beautifully in both albums and on the wall. She welcomes pets, multi-generation groups and celebrations, and is practised at working with young children to coax out spontaneous expressions without stress. The session experience is relaxed and collaborative. Jayne prepares with a conversation about what you want to achieve, suggests simple styling ideas and then guides the shoot with a light, reassuring touch. After the session your images are edited with care and presented in a secure, password‑protected gallery so you can choose prints, canvases or digital files in privacy. Jayne also supports location shoots across North Devon and North Cornwall for families who want their portraits in the places they love. Above all, Jayne is driven by a love of family photography — preserving everyday moments and milestone memories alike. If you want a photographer who specialises in families, who brings experience, patience and an artistic eye, Jayne Poole offers a warm, professional service close to Bideford that puts your family first.
