Cambridge family photography by Victoria Sturdy — specialist family and maternity portraits with a creative, colourful and timeless approach. Relaxed sessions that capture real connections.
Victoria Sturdy Photography specialises in family photography in Cambridge, creating images that celebrate everyday moments as your family grows. Victoria’s work is known for being creative, imaginative, colourful and timeless — she focuses on capturing the small, honest interactions that become treasured family memories. Why choose Victoria Sturdy for your family photoshoot? Victoria approaches every session with a gentle, family-first mindset. She understands how unpredictable children can be and builds shoots around comfort and play, not rigid poses. Her aim is to document genuine connections: the laugh between siblings, the quiet curl of a new baby in a parent’s arms, or the proud smile of a toddler taking their first steps. That results in portraits that feel authentic, joyful and relaxed rather than staged. What makes the approach special: Victoria blends a portrait-led eye with a documentary sensibility. She creates colourful, story-driven images while taking care of the technical details — lighting, composition and retouching — so parents can simply be present. Her style favours warm tones and expressive moments, producing photographs that work beautifully across prints, albums and wall galleries. How she works with families: each session begins with a short discussion to understand what matters most to you — family dynamics, favourite outfits, and any special moments you want to capture. Sessions are child-friendly and unhurried; Victoria uses gentle prompts and playful interactions to put little ones at ease and coax natural smiles. She offers practical support such as a client closet and curated backdrops to help with styling and creating a cohesive look for your portraits. Victoria also specialises in maternity portraiture, offering complementary sessions that capture the anticipation and beauty of pregnancy as part of your family story. From first enquiries to gallery delivery, Victoria aims to make the experience personal and memorable. She cares about turning your fleeting family days into heirloom images you’ll return to again and again. If you’re in Cambridge and looking for a family photographer who values warmth, creativity and authentic moments, Victoria Sturdy Photography is positioned to capture your family’s story with care and craft.
