Chelmsford family photographer Luciana Calvin specialises in relaxed, joyful family portraiture. Tailored sessions capture authentic moments from newborns to kids for cherished wall art.
Hello — I’m Luciana Calvin, a Chelmsford-based family photographer who loves helping families hold on to the everyday magic of parenthood. Family photography is my focus and my passion: I design sessions that feel natural, relaxed and genuinely fun so that the photos reflect the personalities and relationships that matter most. My goal is simple — to create images you’ll want to live with and pass down. What makes my approach different is a blend of technical skill, gentle direction and real empathy. As a PPA Master of Photography and Certified Professional Photographer (M.Photog., Cr., CPP), I bring an award-winning eye to light, composition and expression, but I never force a family into stiff poses. Instead, I tailor each session to your children’s ages and temperaments, using playful prompts and a calm studio or outdoor environment so everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — can relax and be themselves. I specialise in family portraiture across stages: newborns, babies, children and full family groups. Whether you want intimate, minimalist portraits, a joyful cake-smash for a first birthday, or warm outdoor family photos in a favourite local spot, I craft the session to reflect your story. Maternity sessions are also a focus of the studio, allowing us to capture the glow of expectation and then continue documenting your family’s next chapters. Working with me is collaborative and personal. I begin by listening — we plan location, wardrobe and the mood you want. On shoot day I create an easygoing atmosphere and guide you gently so you look and feel natural. After the session, we review your images together and I help you choose the best ways to turn them into heirloom prints, wall art and albums. My studio experience is designed to make the whole process joyful, from first call to final image delivery. Families in Chelmsford, Greater Lowell and beyond trust me to capture the genuine moments that tell their story. If you’re looking for a specialist in family photography who cares about craft, comfort and meaningful finished artwork, I’d love to talk about creating something beautiful for your home.
