Tracey J's Photography

Tracey J is a specialist in family photography based in Bury St Edmunds, bringing a warm, confident approach shaped by life as a mum and years working in a busy portrait studio. Her focus is simple: create natural, relaxed, playful images that become family memories rather than stiff portraits. Whether it’s a loving look between mother and child or a cheeky grin shared by plotting siblings, Tracey aims to capture the real moments that make each family unique. Her style is lifestyle-led and child-friendly. Sessions take place in her cosy studio—designed so kids can play, feel safe and behave like themselves—or out among the beautiful local spots around Bury St Edmunds, where she loves to grab her camera and let children run free. Tracey’s relaxed manner and gentle direction help even camera-shy children settle quickly; she prefers to prompt laughter and interaction rather than pose-forced smiles, creating images that feel honest and lived-in. Tracey’s path into family photography began in a busy Cambridge studio, and after taking time to start her own family she returned to photography on her own terms. That experience gives her a blend of professional technique and a parent’s patience—so sessions are flexible, fun and tailored to the ages and personalities in front of the lens. Parents appreciate her ability to keep sessions upbeat and low-pressure, while still producing a variety of expressive, usable shots. While family work is her core passion and speciality, Tracey also occasionally covers portrait and event assignments. Her commitment across all work is the same: respect for the moment, a relaxed atmosphere, and images that tell a story. If you want family photos that feel like you—full of movement, warmth and genuine connection—Tracey offers an experienced, friendly approach in and around Bury St Edmunds. Her emphasis on play, patience and local locations ensures photographs you’ll enjoy for years to come.
