Liga at Newman Photographic is a Bishopstoke-based family specialist, capturing candid, relaxed family portraits — newborns, children and special occasions. Sessions at home or on location.
I’m Liga, the photographer behind Newman Photographic, and family photography is at the heart of what I do. Based in Bishopstoke, I specialise in relaxed, candid family sessions that focus on real connection rather than stiff poses. Whether you want natural portraits of newborns and babies, playful shots of children, or beautiful images to mark baptisms, communions and birthdays, my aim is the same: to create comfortable, honest photographs you’ll treasure. My approach is simple and personal. I get to know you before the session so everyone — toddlers included — feels at ease. Many families prefer the intimacy of a home photoshoot where familiar surroundings and favourite toys help children relax. Others love a walk through the forest or a quiet stretch of beach for that soft, natural light you see throughout my galleries. I encourage families to bring the things that matter to them and to be themselves; the best photos come from those unscripted moments. As a family specialist I emphasise gentle direction and a friendly atmosphere. I work quickly when little ones need to move and patiently when newborns need their naps. My experience capturing families of all sizes means I know how to balance posed portraits with documentary-style sequences of genuine interaction — the small gestures, laughter, and understated magic that tell your family’s story. After your session I take care with editing to ensure images feel timeless and true to the moment. If you’d like physical keepsakes, I offer professional printing options and handcrafted presentation (including albums and wooden USB boxes) so your photos can be enjoyed every day. Prints are produced to high standards through trusted labs. If you’re in Bishopstoke or nearby and are looking for a family photographer who values authenticity, warmth and patience, let’s talk. I’ll answer your questions, help plan the best location and timing for your shoot, and make sure the whole experience is relaxed and enjoyable. At Newman Photographic I don’t just take pictures — I capture the moments that matter most to your family.
