Soulful, natural family photoshoots in Chesham and beyond. Jenny specialises in relaxed outdoor family portraits that capture authentic connections, laughter and everyday love.
Beyond The Brambles is a specialist family photographer based in Chesham, passionate about creating soulful, natural and authentic family portraits. Jenny’s approach is rooted in the countryside where she grew up — she seeks out wild, beautiful locations across the Chilterns to frame the small, honest moments that make your family unique. Her work focuses on connection and atmosphere: the laughter between siblings, quiet cuddles, and the playful energy of children, all captured in flattering, timeless images. Why choose Beyond The Brambles? Jenny positions herself as a family photography specialist — this is her core expertise. With over a decade behind the camera (including extensive portrait work in editorial settings), she brings a calm, confident presence that puts everyone at ease. Her style is modern yet timeless: natural light, soft tones and compositions designed for printing and display. The result is wall-worthy family art rather than stiff, posed snapshots. How she works with families is simple and warm. Sessions are planned with your family’s rhythms in mind — she aims to create relaxed, unhurried shoots where children can be themselves. Jenny uses gentle direction and playful prompts rather than rigid posing, so portraits feel honest and alive. From an initial chat to help choose the right time of year and location, through styling suggestions and a friendly on-the-day experience, her process is supportive and personalised. She’s also happy to tailor sessions for families who prefer at-home portraits or natural outdoor settings. Beyond The Brambles places particular care on the atmosphere of a shoot: comfortable, fun and always respectful of little ones’ needs. Clients frequently comment on how relaxed their sessions feel and how the images capture real relationships rather than manufactured poses. Whether you want a series of classic family portraits or a more documentary-style session that follows a natural rhythm, Jenny specialises in crafting images you’ll be proud to hang in your home. Based in Chesham and serving the surrounding Chilterns area, Beyond The Brambles is for families who value storytelling, authenticity and beautiful, enduring portraits. Gather your kin, pull on your boots and come chase the light — Jenny will capture the laughter, silliness and love that make your family truly yours.
