Claire Osborne photography

I’m Claire Osborne — a Mastercraftsman and Fellowship‑qualified, award‑winning family photographer serving Bromsgrove and the wider West Midlands. Family photography is at the heart of what I do: I specialise in creating timeless, fine‑art portraits that capture the real warmth, connection and character of your family — not posed snapshots, but images you’ll be proud to hang on your walls. Why choose me? My approach is born of more than a decade of experience working with families, babies and children. I combine technical expertise with a calm, patient manner that helps everyone relax — even camera‑shy dads and busy toddlers. My studio (a cosy, insured space in Longbridge, South Birmingham) is set up to feel like a home away from home: warm, private and stocked with thoughtfully chosen backdrops and props to suit your taste. What makes my work different is the focus on storytelling and fine‑art presentation. I aim to craft images that will age gracefully: natural light, classic composition and careful editing so each portrait looks as elegant framed on your wall as it does on screen. As someone who has achieved both Fellowship and Mastercraftsman qualifications and won international awards, I take care with every detail — from posing and lighting to the finished print — so your portraits become heirloom pieces. How I work with families: every session begins with getting to know you. We’ll chat about the look you love, where the images will hang, and how to make the shoot comfortable for little ones. My sessions are child‑led and relaxed — I follow the ebb and flow of the family so we capture genuine moments as they happen. After the shoot, I guide you through a calm viewing and ordering appointment where we select the images and tailor the presentation to your home — framed art, handcrafted books and wall galleries are options I help you plan, with no hard sell. I love being part of a family’s story: whether it’s updated portraits of growing children, multi‑generation family groups or elegant fine‑art pictures to celebrate a milestone. Based in Bromsgrove and regularly shooting across the West Midlands, I’d be honoured to help you freeze a moment in time that you and your family will cherish for years to come.
