TLC Photography Studio in Chelmsford specialises in relaxed, natural family photography. Jess creates timeless family portraits that capture real personalities — including children, babies and newborns.
Hi, I’m Jess — the face behind TLC Photography Studio in Chelmsford. Family photography is at the heart of what I do: helping busy families slow down, enjoy a calm session, and leave with images that feel like them. With years of experience working with children and parents since 2010, my aim is simple — to create relaxed, natural family portraits that you’ll treasure for years. Why choose TLC Photography Studio for your family photoshoot? I pride myself on making everyone feel at ease. Children respond best when a session is fun and pressure-free, so I work with patience, humour and gentle guidance to capture true expressions and spontaneous moments. Whether we’re in the studio or enjoying a more natural outdoor session locally around Chelmsford, I focus on connection and personality rather than stiff poses. I specialise in family sessions that include children, babies and newborns, and I’m also experienced in maternity and portrait work. Newborn and baby sessions are handled with extra care — allowing time, warmth and a calm atmosphere so your little one feels safe and comfortable. If you’d like to document a child’s first year, I offer options that let you capture those changes as they grow, creating a beautiful visual story of family life. My approach is personal and collaborative. Before your session we’ll chat about what matters to you — favourite colours, meaningful props, or practical needs for little ones — so the shoot feels tailored and stress-free. During the session I encourage natural interaction: play, cuddles and simple prompts that bring out genuine smiles. Afterward, I hand-select and carefully edit each image to produce a cohesive, timeless collection that reflects your family’s character. Based in a private, fully equipped studio just outside Chelmsford, TLC Photography Studio offers a relaxed environment ideal for families. If you’re looking for a family photographer who specialises in capturing authentic moments — who treats every session with care and warmth — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create portraits that celebrate the everyday magic of family life.
