Kelliejo Photography

Kelliejo Photography specialises in family photography from a home base in Cheadle Hulme. With more than a decade behind the camera and an art and fashion background, Kelliejo creates light, airy, lifestyle portraits that feel honest and unforced. Her signature approach is all about families being themselves — playing, laughing and exploring — rather than standing stiffly for posed shots. Why choose Kelliejo? Her sessions are relaxed and reassuring: she takes time to get to know you, offers pre-shoot advice on location and wardrobe, and makes even the most camera-shy children feel at ease. Many shoots take place outdoors at favourite local spots such as Abney Hall and Fletcher Moss, turning a photoshoot into a gentle walk and mini-adventure so natural moments can unfold. For newborns and babies she offers a baby-led, in-home approach — no forced posing or sleep tricks — so the whole family can feel comfortable while she captures those first tender interactions. What makes her photography special is the combination of technical skill and warmth. Kelliejo’s background in design gives her an eye for composition and tone, while her playful, child-friendly manner — she admits she’ll always be a kid at heart — is the reason she can get genuine smiles and emotion on camera. Her work has been recognised by The Guild of Photographers and is rooted in storytelling: each gallery aims to reflect the real personality of your family. How she works: you’ll get a friendly consultation before the session where she talks through locations, outfits and what to expect. On the day she focuses on creating a calm atmosphere, guiding gentle movement and fun prompts rather than rigid poses. After the shoot your images are professionally edited so you have a cohesive collection ready to print, frame or share online. Kelliejo specialises in family sessions that include children’s portraits, baby and newborn photography, maternity and milestone moments like birthdays, baptisms or communions — all treated with the same natural, documentary-led style. Based in Cheadle Hulme and serving Greater Manchester and Cheshire, she loves helping families freeze those everyday, priceless connections. Ready to capture your family story?
