Award-winning Burngreave family photographer capturing relaxed, natural-light portraits of families, babies and children. Rachel creates joyful sessions and timeless family portraits.
Rachel Sinclair is a specialist family photographer based in Burngreave, Sheffield, with a warm, relaxed approach that puts every family at ease. With more than 15 years’ experience and formal photography training in Sheffield, Rachel’s work focuses on capturing natural, candid moments rather than stiff posing—she encourages families to be themselves, play, laugh and simply enjoy the session while she photographs the genuine interactions that tell your story. Why choose Rachel? Her style is rooted in natural light and on-location portraiture, creating images that feel honest, timeless and full of personality. Whether you’re booking a family portrait, newborn or children session, Rachel treats every shoot as unique: she looks for the small, telling gestures—the way siblings share a look, a baby’s curious expression, a parent’s quiet smile—and composes those moments into photographs that look beautiful on a wall and meaningful in an album. Rachel’s process is calm and collaborative. Before your session she listens to what matters most to you—favourite locations, the personalities in your family, any special details you want remembered—and she gently guides you through the shoot so everyone feels comfortable. The aim is always to make the experience fun and stress-free, especially for children and babies, so the resulting images are relaxed and natural rather than forced. Beyond the camera, Rachel places great care on editing and presentation. Her finishing techniques refine the mood of each image while keeping the authenticity of the moment, producing photos you’ll be proud to display at home. As an award-winning local photographer with a strong portfolio and excellent client feedback, Rachel is trusted by families across Sheffield to deliver professional, heartfelt family portraits. Although family photography is her core specialism, Rachel is also an experienced photography tutor and runs private workshops for people who want to learn how to take better photos themselves. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Burngreave or greater Sheffield who values warmth, patience and a genuinely enjoyable session, Rachel Sinclair offers a distinctive, expert approach to creating beautiful family memories.
