Specialist family photoshoots in Bramhall by David Laslett. Newborn, baby, children and milestone sessions in studio, at home or outdoors — relaxed, professional and autism‑friendly.
I’m David Laslett — a Bramhall-based family photographer with a studio just a short drive from Stockport. Family photography is my primary focus: I specialise in creating natural, timeless portraits of newborns, babies, children and whole families. With more than 15 years of professional experience and a reputation for putting people at ease, I aim to capture the real moments and gentle connections that become treasured family memories. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? My approach is friendly, professional and relaxed. I know that little ones (and grown-ups) can feel nervous in front of a camera, so I work at your pace — whether that’s a calm newborn session in the studio, playful children’s portraits in the park, or a multi‑generation family shoot at home. My studio sits in a leafy corner near Stockport, but I regularly travel to homes and local locations around Bramhall and the surrounding area to find the light and background that best suit your family. My sessions are designed around your family’s needs. We begin with a quick chat about what you’d like to achieve, the important moments you want to mark (birthdays, baptisms, communions or those first weeks with a newborn), and any special considerations. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere — gentle direction, plenty of breaks, and an emphasis on natural interaction rather than rigid posing. The result is authentic imagery that feels like you. I’m proud to offer autism‑friendly photoshoots, adapting pace, lighting and approach to ensure a comfortable experience for neurodiverse children and adults. Attention to detail continues after the session: images are carefully processed and can be retouched by hand where required so your portraits are ready to use in print or online. Families return because they value photography that’s honest, stress‑free and crafted with care. Whether you want classic studio portraits, candid lifestyle images at home, or playful outdoor shots of your children, I’ll work with you to create photographs that become part of your family story. If you’re in Bramhall or nearby and want a family photoshoot that feels effortless and personal, get in touch and let’s plan something special.
