HideTidesMedia in Burntwood specialises in relaxed, natural family photoshoots. With over ten years' experience, I capture candid outdoor moments of babies, children and family portraits.
At HideTidesMedia I specialise in family photography from my base in Burntwood, serving Staffordshire and the surrounding West Midlands. Family photoshoots are my core focus: I aim to capture the honest connections and small moments that make your family unique. With over ten years of photography experience I bring a calm, patient approach that works especially well with babies, toddlers and young children. My style leans toward natural, outdoor family portraits and candid documentary moments. I prefer to work in real locations – parks, woodlands and everyday settings that allow children to feel free and comfortable – so the images look effortless and timeless. Whether you're planning newborn, baby, children or wider family sessions, I work to create photographs that feel warm, relaxed and genuine rather than overly posed. Why choose HideTidesMedia? I combine local knowledge of Staffordshire locations with a friendly, affordable service and an emphasis on comfort for little ones. I understand how unpredictable family sessions can be, so I keep shoots flexible and low-pressure: gentle direction when needed, plenty of breaks, and a conversational style that helps everyone relax. This approach usually produces the best smiles and spontaneous interactions that become treasured family portraits. The process is straightforward and personal. We start with a short consultation to choose locations and discuss what matters most to you — milestone portraits, birthday celebrations, baptism or communion moments, newborn and baby growth sessions, or multi-generation family portraits. On the day I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere, guiding poses subtly but always looking for candid, emotional moments. After the shoot, I carefully edit the images to deliver a cohesive gallery of natural, high-quality photographs you’ll want to display and share. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Burntwood who specialises in children and baby photography and delivers professional, heartfelt family portraits, HideTidesMedia offers a tailored, experienced approach. I’m passionate about preserving family memories in a way that’s authentic, approachable and beautifully crafted.
