Blyth family photographer capturing warm, natural family portraits. Specialist in newborns, babies, children and mini adventure sessions across Northumberland and Tyne & Wear.
As a Blyth-based specialist in family photography, I focus on capturing the honest, joyful moments that make your family unique. My work is all about relaxed, natural storytelling — whether we’re on a Mini Adventure Day exploring local parks in Seaton Delaval or creating gentle newborn portraits at home. Families choose Zestlight Photography because I know how to work with children and babies: patience, play, and a calm approach help even the youngest or most camera-shy members shine. My background in portraiture and years of photographing family life mean I bring both technical skill and a compassionate touch to every session. I love creating images that feel alive — authentic smiles, small hands holding a parent’s finger, candid sibling moments. These are the photographs that become treasured family portraits, whether printed for the mantelpiece or shared with loved ones online. How I work: sessions are relaxed and child-centred. I take time to get to know you, listen to the little details that matter, and guide families with gentle direction rather than stiff posing. Many clients enjoy my Mini Adventure Days — informal outdoor shoots designed to let children explore while I capture spontaneous interactions. I’m also building a home studio for more controlled portraiture when families prefer an indoor setting. Although family photography is my core specialism, I also support the wider community through workshops and media work. I teach photography and videography skills to amateurs and small groups, helping others learn how to create better family content and memorable portraits. This teaching stems from my belief that photography should be accessible — I love sharing practical tips so others can capture everyday magic for themselves. Rooted in Blyth and serving Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, Zestlight Photography blends creative portraiture with a patient, friendly approach. If you want family photos that feel genuine, warm, and full of life, I’d love to chat and plan a session that suits you and your children.
