Hannah Victoria Photography

Hi — I’m Hannah. As a mother, neonatal nurse and Cheltenham-based photographer, I specialise in family photography that feels natural, warm and true to your family’s rhythm. I love photographing outdoors in fields, woodlands or at the beach, and I bring a gentle, patient approach that helps even the most camera-shy toddlers relax. My sessions are child-led and playful — full of movement, laughter and small, honest moments rather than stiff posing. Why choose me? I believe family photos are not just images but heirlooms. I’m passionate about creating photographs you’ll want to print and hand down. My style is artistic yet natural, using soft, natural light to create timeless portraits that reflect the unique personalities and relationships in your family. Being a practising children’s nurse gives me an extra layer of calm and confidence around babies and young children, which families often tell me makes the session feel safe and easy. How I work: from our first message I’ll guide you through the process with a friendly welcome and style guide so you know what to expect and how to prepare. On the day I focus on connection — playing games, singing nursery rhymes and encouraging genuine interaction so the camera captures real smiles, cuddles and fleeting glances. I’ll suggest gentle prompts rather than forced poses, creating a relaxed atmosphere where authentic moments naturally unfold. I love helping with practical details too: I can suggest locations I know work beautifully in Cheltenham, advise on outfits that photograph well, and I have a small client wardrobe to borrow if you’d like. I respect your privacy and always check with you before sharing images publicly. Many families appreciate my easygoing manner and patience — whether it’s persevering for that meaningful breastfeeding shot or calming a strong-willed toddler — I aim to make the session enjoyable for everyone. If you want family photographs that feel honest, intimate and full of life, let’s have a chat. I’m based in Cheltenham and I’d be honoured to capture this chapter of your family’s story.
