JK Photography

I’m Joanne at JK Photography (Studio 5) in Carlisle — a family photographer who specialises in creating natural, relaxed family and maternity portraits that feel like you. My focus is on capturing the small, heartfelt moments that make your family unique: the shared smiles, the sleepy newborn cuddles, the playful chaos of children, and the quiet connection between generations. Why choose JK Photography for your family photoshoot? I bring an accredited, professional approach combined with the friendliness of a family-led studio. As a member of the Master Photography association and the Federation of Small Businesses, and with enhanced DBS and full insurance, I deliver a professional service you can trust. My experience as a mum and the studio environment I’ve built at Studio 5 mean clients feel comfortable and at ease — the best place to make genuine images. What makes my approach special is simplicity and warmth. I prefer relaxed styling and natural expressions over forced poses. I work with you to plan a session that reflects your family’s personality, whether that means classic studio portraits, candid moments, or a mix of both. I have a range of backdrops, accessories and wardrobe options available in the studio, and I’m happy to include personal items that matter to you. How we’ll work together: from the first enquiry I’ll listen to what you want and suggest ideas tailored to your family. Sessions are unhurried so we can capture real moments — I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where children feel safe and parents can simply be themselves. I’m comfortable photographing little ones and babies alongside family groups and can adapt the pace and format so everyone leaves smiling. Based in Carlisle and serving families across Cumbria, I take pride in offering an approachable, skilled family photography service. If you’re looking for authentic family portraits or maternity images that you’ll treasure, Studio 5 is ready to welcome you. Get in touch to discuss your ideas and arrange a session — I’d love to help you capture memories that last a lifetime.
