Chapel Allerton family photographer Rosanna Lilly captures relaxed, natural family portraits—documenting newborns, children and connections for cherished memories.
As a specialist family photographer based in Chapel Allerton, Rosanna Lilly focuses on creating relaxed, honest portraits that celebrate real family life. Rosanna’s work centres on warmth and connection—she seeks the quiet, spontaneous moments that show how your family really is, not a staged version. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, marking a milestone with a toddler or wanting updated portraits of the whole family, her approach is calm, patient and rooted in storytelling. Rosanna believes great family photography starts with making people feel comfortable. Sessions are guided but unforced: she gives gentle prompts to ease natural interactions and then steps back to document the candid smiles, soft glances and small gestures that hold meaning. Many families choose locations that matter to them—home, a nearby park in Chapel Allerton or a favourite local spot—so the resulting images feel personal and timeless. Her process is simple and collaborative. Before the shoot she offers a friendly conversation to understand what you want to remember and to plan timing, outfits and location. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can focus on being present. After the session, Rosanna carefully edits each image to produce a cohesive gallery that reflects your family’s personality and connection. Why choose Rosanna? Her specialty in family photography means she combines technical skill with a patient, empathetic manner that puts children and parents at ease. She knows how to capture both the big moments and the small details—the sleepy newborn hands, the way siblings play together, and the laughter that bubbles up when everyone relaxes. Based in Chapel Allerton and serving families across Yorkshire, Rosanna brings a thoughtful, story-led approach to every shoot. If you’re looking for family portraits that feel genuine and enduring, Rosanna Lilly Photography offers expert, personalised sessions designed to preserve your family’s story.
