Specialist family photographer in Braintree creating relaxed, sunlit sessions that capture real connection. Natural, joy-filled images whether at home or outdoors in Essex.
Blossom & Bloom Photography specialises in family photography in Braintree and the wider Essex area, offering a gentle, natural approach designed to capture the real, unscripted moments that make your family unique. Adele’s work is sunlit and soulful — a relaxed, joyful style that favours connection over posed perfection. If you’ve felt like you’re always the one behind the camera, her sessions are made for families who want to step into the frame and truly be themselves. Why choose Blossom & Bloom for your family photoshoot? Adele brings the empathy of a parent and the eye of a storyteller to every session. She creates a calm environment where children can run, play and be wonderfully imperfect, and where parents can relax and enjoy being present. Whether we’re wandering meadows at golden hour, exploring woodland edges, or staying cosy at home, the emphasis is always on capturing heartfelt interaction: laughter, cuddles, small hands in yours and the in-between moments that become family heirlooms. The process is designed to make the experience easy and meaningful. You’ll get thoughtful prep — from a style guide and location suggestions to a short questionnaire so Adele can tailor the session to your family’s personality. On the day she offers gentle prompts and plenty of space for natural movement, helping even camera-shy children feel at ease. After the shoot you’ll receive a curated gallery of fully edited images that feel timeless and honest — the kind you’ll want on your walls. While family photography is the core specialism, Blossom & Bloom also offers maternity sessions that carry your story beautifully from bump to baby, keeping the same relaxed, natural aesthetic. Above all, the focus remains on connection: creating images that don’t just look beautiful but make you feel something when you look back. If you’re in Braintree or nearby in Essex and want a family photoshoot that honours the laughter, chaos and tenderness of your life together, Blossom & Bloom provides a warm, personalised experience that captures those memories with care.
