Specialist family photography in Chatham by Giulia at LM Photography. Child‑led, natural sessions that focus on real connection and timeless portraits you’ll treasure.
LM Photography is a Chatham-based specialist in family photography, led by Giulia whose approach is warm, simple and deeply personal. Rooted in the belief that “simplicity is timeless,” Giulia creates calm, relaxed sessions that let real family moments unfold — not forced poses, but honest interactions that tell your story. Why choose LM Photography? Giulia treats every shoot as an experience. Whether in her light-filled ME5 studio or on location around Kent, she guides families with gentle direction and a styling eye so you can relax and enjoy being together. Sessions are child-led: she brings patience, play and a collection of handmade toys and subtle props to help little ones feel at ease, then captures the small details and spontaneous smiles that become treasured portraits. What makes her approach special is a focus on emotion and simplicity. The images are timeless and uncluttered, designed to highlight connection — a quiet cuddle, a laugh between siblings, the look of pride on a parent’s face. Giulia’s background as a mother shapes her calm, nurturing manner; LM are the initials of her two boys, and that personal touch comes through in how she works with families. How she works with you: before your session Giulia provides a styling guide and invites you to discuss location, wardrobe and the feel you want to achieve. In-studio shoots benefit from natural light and a curated client wardrobe, while outdoor family sessions focus on gentle movement, play and wide, natural compositions. During the shoot she keeps things relaxed and fun, encouraging interaction and little prompts that produce authentic expressions rather than stiff poses. The result is a collection of portraits that feel honest, emotive and enduring — photographs you’ll be proud to display and hold onto for years. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Chatham who specialises in natural, timeless imagery and a stress-free experience, LM Photography offers a thoughtful, expert approach that celebrates your family exactly as it is.
