Serenade Photography

I’m Malwina, the photographer behind Serenade Photography — a specialist in family photography based in Chester. For more than 14 years I’ve been helping families capture the real, everyday moments that become treasured heirlooms: the quiet snuggles, the chaotic giggles, and the small, perfect gestures that tell your family’s story. Why choose Serenade Photography for your family photoshoot in Chester? I work from a cosy, relaxed studio where children feel safe and parents can breathe. Clients often call me a “baby whisperer” — a compliment I wear with pride. My approach is gentle, patient and playful; I let your family lead the session so images stay authentic rather than forced. Whether you prefer natural, earthy tones or a more styled, classic portrait, I’ll craft photos that feel true to you. My sessions focus on connection and emotion. I blend documentary-style candid moments with thoughtful posed portraits to give you a beautiful, varied gallery: joyful sibling interactions, tender parent-and-child portraits, and timeless group shots that work beautifully on walls and in albums. If you’re expecting, I also photograph maternity sessions that complement family storytelling — and newborn images that capture those first fragile days. These offerings sit alongside my core family work, giving you a complete visual record of early life stages. How I work: we start with a friendly conversation to understand what you want to remember. On the day, I create a calm atmosphere where children can play and explore; that’s when the best moments happen. I provide tasteful props, wraps and simple backdrops to keep focus on relationship and expression. After your session I carefully edit each image to reflect the warm, natural style I’m known for, producing photographs that feel timeless and honest. Beyond technical skill, what drives me is connection. I’m a mum, and I know how quickly these days pass. My photography is about giving families something more than pretty pictures — a memory of who you were together at this moment in time. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Chester who values patience, emotion and understated beauty, I’d love to hear your story and help you preserve it.
