Sunrise Photography

Sunrise Photography is a Cheltenham-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to turning everyday moments into images you’ll treasure for years. As local family photographers we focus on relaxed, natural portraiture — whether you’re booking a newborn shoot, a children’s session, a christening or a family portrait — our aim is the same: to capture honest emotion and real connections rather than stiff poses. Why choose Sunrise Photography? Our approach is rooted in patience, authenticity and a deep respect for family life. Ewa and Piotr bring complementary strengths: Ewa’s warm, compassionate manner (shaped by her work caring for older people and as a mother) helps put even the most camera-shy children at ease, while Piotr’s long experience and award-winning background with the Cheltenham Camera Club delivers confident composition and strong storytelling through imagery. Together they create a calm, encouraging atmosphere that lets natural smiles and interactions emerge. How we work with families: every session begins with a short conversation so we understand your priorities — favourite locations around Cheltenham, relaxed at-home portraits, or a lively outdoor shoot. Sessions are paced for children and babies with plenty of breaks, simple direction, and playful prompts that feel authentic rather than forced. For newborn shoots we prioritise safety and comfort, working around feeding and sleep schedules to create gentle, timeless portraits. What makes our style special is a documentary-led sensibility combined with thoughtful composition — candid moments framed with an eye for light, texture and the small details that tell your family’s story. We also offer tasteful, unobtrusive portrait setups when you want a classic family portrait to display at home. Although our primary focus is family photography, we can also support special outdoor requests with licensed aerial photography or short highlight videos on occasion — these are available as discreet add-ons and never replace the attentive, hands-on approach that defines our family sessions. Rooted in Cheltenham and trusted by local families, Sunrise Photography blends technical skill with genuine care. If you want a photographer who specialises in families and children — someone patient, personable and experienced — we’re here to capture your sunrise moments and turn them into lasting memories.
