Cecil Paul Studios specialises in family photography in Brough. Studio, mobile or location shoots capture newborns, children and multi-generation portraits with a calm, professional approach.
Cecil Paul Studios is a family photography specialist based in Brough, East Yorkshire. We focus on creating natural, timeless family portraits — from newborn and baby sessions to children's portraits, baptisms, communions and birthday celebrations. Our approach is relaxed and personal: all you have to do is enjoy your shoot while we take care of the lighting, posing and gentle direction to capture real moments. We work from a discreet, professionally equipped studio in Brough, offering a range of lighting styles (High Key, Low Key, Rembrandt and split lighting) and coloured backgrounds so your portrait is exactly as you imagine. If a studio visit isn’t convenient, our fully mobile studio brings the same equipment to your chosen property — please note a 3 metre cleared width and a standard 240v power supply are needed for the infinity background and flash units. For location shoots we also use a fully portable power supply, allowing us to photograph your family in gardens, fields or by the coast with studio-quality lighting. Newborn and young children require patience and space; we understand that. For certain sessions (for example cake smash shoots) we allow up to three hours so little ones can settle, warm up to the camera and enjoy the experience. Parents and extended family are welcome — whether you want a single portrait, multi-generation images or a lively birthday scene, we’ll help organise poses and outfit changes so the session flows naturally. Beyond the shoot, Cecil Paul Studios offers careful image editing and specialist retouching to present your family at their best. We can create personalised montages or bespoke portrait imagery on request, using advanced Photoshop techniques to fulfil creative ideas while respecting the integrity of your images. Why choose us? Because we combine technical lighting expertise with a friendly, unhurried manner and flexible options — studio, mobile or location — tailored to family life in Brough and the surrounding East Yorkshire area. If you want warm, professional family photos that feel comfortable and true to you, Cecil Paul Studios will capture them with care and creativity.
