Kaptured By Wayne

I’m Wayne — a Burnley-based, Lancashire family photographer who lives for the unscripted, joy-filled moments that make family life unique. As a specialist in family and lifestyle photography, my focus is on creating relaxed, natural images that reflect real connection rather than stiff, posed portraits. Whether it’s newborn cuddles, toddlers mid-giggle, or multi-generation family gatherings, I aim to capture the small in-between moments that become your favourite memories. My approach is warm, down-to-earth and, frankly, a lot of fun. Drawing on years of experience keeping people smiling (and a lifetime of being a proud dad), I’m great at reading the room, calming camera-shy little ones, and turning everyday chaos into beautiful imagery. Think of me as your memory-making sidekick: I blend gentle direction with documentary-style storytelling so your photos feel authentic, timeless and totally you. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly pre-shoot chat — I want to know what makes your family tick, favourite places, and any special moments you want captured. On session day I create a relaxed atmosphere where kids can be kids and adults can forget the camera’s even there. I look for real expressions, natural light and tiny details (the way a newborn wraps a hand, the look between partners, the dust motes in a cosy living room) that turn photos into stories. I specialise in family portraits, newborn and baby photography, children’s sessions and lifestyle shoots for birthdays, baptisms or other family celebrations. Sessions are tailored to your family’s rhythm: outdoor adventures across Lancashire, relaxed home sessions, or a combination of both. After the shoot I carefully edit your images to enhance that warm, candid feel and deliver them in an easy-to-share online gallery. Based in Burnley and serving the wider North West, I’m all about capturing your family as you really are — messy, beautiful and full of life. If you want a friendly, professional family photographer who prioritises natural moments over posed perfection, let’s chat — preferably with a coffee in hand. Wayne x
