Simone Brunt Photography

Hi — I’m Simone, an award‑winning family photographer based on Canvey Island. Family photography is my core speciality: I love creating comfortable, joyful sessions that reflect the way your family really is. Whether you’re after a classic family portrait, playful children’s images, or tender newborn portraits, my approach is always personal, gentle and naturally styled. Why choose me? My sessions are built around connection and atmosphere. I combine clean, timeless styling with a love of subtle props and natural poses so you get both beautiful simplicity and meaningful detail. My aim is to capture real smiles, quiet moments and the little interactions that tell your family’s story — not stiff, forced poses. That relaxed, documentary-led sensibility is what makes the images feel true to you and effortless to display at home. How I work: every shoot begins with a friendly conversation so I can learn what matters most to you. Together we shape the session — choosing the look, any props or outfits, and the mix of posed and candid images you’d like. In the studio I create a calm environment where children feel safe to play and explore, and where newborns are handled with patience and care. For family portrait sessions I bring a calm, encouraging presence that helps even the most camera-shy family members relax. Studio and styling: my Canvey Island studio offers a selection of gowns, drapes and child-friendly wardrobe options, plus a curated collection of props to suit your chosen style. If you prefer an outdoor session, I also capture natural-family moments on location around the local area — always focusing on light, mood and authentic interaction. The finished images are hand‑edited with careful attention to tone and detail, delivered as beautiful digital files you’ll want to print and share. My priority is always quality and a warm client experience from booking to the final gallery. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Canvey Island who specialises in natural, heartfelt portraits of families, children and newborns, I’d love to chat and plan a session that suits you. Let’s capture the moments you’ll treasure for years to come.
