Jo Buckley is a specialist family and maternity photographer in Brownhills. With a relaxed, friendly approach she creates natural family portraits, newborn and children's sessions that celebrate your story.
Jo Buckley Photography is a family and maternity specialist based in Brownhills, serving families across the West Midlands. Jo’s approach is warm, relaxed and personal: she believes the best images come from moments when people feel at ease and able to be themselves. Whether you’re expecting and want gentle, natural maternity portraits, welcoming a newborn, or booking a family session to capture your growing story, Jo focuses on creating an experience as comfortable as the images are timeless. Having moved into full-time photography in 2017, Jo brings a thoughtful, caring manner to every session. She takes time to build rapport with parents and children, using a calm, conversational style that helps even the most camera-shy little ones relax. Her home studio in the Walsall area offers a cosy, mess-free setting for newborns, sitter and cake-smash sessions, while outdoor family shoots are sensitively timed — often around Golden Hour — to capture soft, natural light and candid family interactions. Jo specialises in family portraits and maternity work, and she has strong experience with early-years photography: pregnancy, newborn, sitter sessions and first-birthday cake-smashes are all part of her core offering. She frames each shoot around your story — focusing on genuine expressions, small details and the connections between family members rather than stiff posed images. The result is a collection of photographs you’ll want to live with and share for years to come. Working with Jo is straightforward and friendly: she listens to what matters to you, suggests locations and styling that suit your family, and works at a gentle pace so babies and children feel comfortable. Many clients appreciate her ability to capture playful moments as well as those quieter, heartfelt interactions that really tell the story of family life. While family and maternity are Jo’s primary focus, she also offers photography for events and small businesses as complementary services. If you’re looking for a specialist family photographer in Brownhills and the West Midlands who values warmth, patience and honest storytelling, Jo Buckley is ready to help you preserve the moments that matter most.
