Chui Photography

Chui (pronounced 'Chay') is an award-winning family photographer based in Cheltenham, at the heart of the Cotswolds. Her work is centred on natural, lifestyle family photography — the informal, in-between moments that feel like home. Rather than stiff poses, Chui’s relaxed, playful approach helps even camera-shy parents and children relax, so the images you get back are honest, warm and full of feeling. Why choose Chui for your family photoshoot? Because she treats each session as a chance to bottle up the small details and fleeting rhythms of family life — the way a child buries their face in a parent’s shoulder, the chaotic joy of play, the quiet cuddles that become treasured portraits. Her photography is shaped by a belief that photographs should not only show what happened but make you feel it again. That emotional clarity is what has earned her recognition and client trust across Gloucestershire and the wider Cotswolds. How she works: every session is tailored to your family. You can choose the comfort of a home shoot — where everything is familiar and relaxed — or a favourite outdoor spot that means something to you. On the day, Chui guides gently rather than directing, using natural light and simple prompts to encourage real moments. She’s used to working with children of all ages (and well-behaved dogs), and adapts each shoot to suit the pace of your family. The result is a gallery of images that feel lived-in and timeless, perfect for walls, albums and everyday sharing. Chui’s offering is family-first: from newborn lifestyle captures to playful portraits of toddlers and older children, she specialises in creating a visual story of your family as it is now. Beyond the shoot, she supports you in enjoying those images — whether that’s choosing prints, frames or creating an heirloom album that brings your story into the home. If you want family photography in Cheltenham that feels human, emotive and effortlessly beautiful, Chui provides a calm, professional experience and images you’ll come back to again and again.
