Azaria Louise Photography

Azaria Louise is a specialist in family photography based in a cosy studio tucked away in Bishop Auckland, County Durham. Her work is rooted in a belief that the best family pictures are honest, relaxed and full of heart — images you’ll want to print, frame and pass down. With a First Class BA (Hons) in Film and Media Enterprise and years of hands-on experience, Azaria brings a thoughtful, creative eye to every session. Why choose Azaria for your family photoshoot? Because she combines professional skill with a genuinely warm, patient approach. Families — especially those with little ones — need time, encouragement and calm. Azaria’s sessions are intentionally relaxed: she creates a welcoming atmosphere, uses simple, timeless styling and lets moments unfold naturally. Whether you’re bringing babies, toddlers, older children or a four-legged family member, she knows how to capture playful energy, quiet tenderness and authentic connection. What makes her approach special is a focus on storytelling over forced posing. Azaria favours gentle direction and candid moments rather than stiff group shots. Her studio is set up to be child-friendly and comfortable, with neutral backdrops and carefully chosen props that enhance rather than distract. Clients often comment on her ability to make children feel at ease and to coax real smiles without pressure — a skill born from experience and a calm, friendly manner. How the session works: Azaria begins with a short conversation to understand what matters most to your family — favourite looks, meaningful relationships, or specific requests. On the day she keeps the pace flexible, allowing time for feeds, breaks and play so everyone can be themselves. The result is a curated collection of natural portraits and warm family moments that reflect your story. Azaria loves being part of a family’s journey, from pregnancy and newborn days through yearly milestones. Based in Bishop Auckland and serving families across the North East, she takes pride in creating timeless, elegant images that families treasure. If you want a family photoshoot that feels friendly, calm and beautifully authentic, Azaria Louise is ready to help capture your next chapter.
