Lucy Fay Photography is a family photography specialist serving Buxton. Lucy creates relaxed, natural family portraits—welcoming newborns, babies and children in studio or outdoors.
I’m Lucy — a family photographer who loves capturing the small, honest moments that make family life special. I specialise in family photography and have spent years refining a calm, friendly approach that helps even the most camera‑shy children relax. Whether you want classic studio family portraits, playful shots of children, or gentle newborn images, my goal is always the same: to create timeless photos you’ll be proud to display at home. My style is natural and warm. I favour simple backdrops and uncluttered setups that keep the focus on expressions and connections. I’ve photographed families of all sizes — from intimate sibling portraits to multi‑generation groups — and my studio is set up to welcome everyone comfortably. I also offer outdoor family sessions for families who prefer the softer, seasonal light and a more relaxed, candid feel. Working with me is straightforward and personal. Before your session we’ll chat about what you’d like to capture — colours, outfits and any special props or keepsakes you want to include. On the day I create a calm atmosphere where children can be themselves; I guide little ones with gentle prompts rather than forced poses, which leads to natural smiles and genuine interaction. For newborn sessions I take extra care with settling, feeding breaks and soothing so we capture those sleepy, delicate moments safely and beautifully. After the shoot you’ll return for a relaxed viewing appointment where we look through your images together. I give thoughtful guidance to help you choose the photos and products that will work best in your home. My focus is always on helping families preserve memories in a way that feels personal and easy. Proudly serving Buxton and the surrounding areas, I bring the same care and friendly energy to every family session. If you’re looking for professional family photos that feel warm, authentic and timeless, I’d love to meet you and help preserve this chapter of your family’s story.
