Jane - Louise Photography UK

Jane‑Louise is a specialist family photographer based in Clay Cross, Chesterfield, whose work is rooted in warmth, patience and a love of real family moments. With award recognition and a reputation for being friendly, bubbly and a little bit of a perfectionist, she focuses on creating natural, timeless family portraits that feel like you — not a posed photoshoot. Why choose Jane‑Louise for your family photos? She blends the relaxed comfort of lifestyle photography with the polished look of studio portraits. Whether you prefer a documentary-style session at home—capturing everyday moments like storytime, baking or play—or a carefully styled studio shoot with props and backdrops, Jane‑Louise tailors every session to reflect your family’s personality. Her “Your shoot — Your Way” approach means you can bring siblings, grandparents, pets and multiple outfit changes without fuss. Her experience with babies and young children is a core strength. As a trained newborn photographer she prioritises safety and gentle handling, offering both posed newborn images and lifestyle newborn sessions in your home. Parents value her calm, patient manner; she’s practised at settling little ones, keeping siblings engaged and making sessions fun for everyone. Jane‑Louise is fully insured and DBS‑checked for peace of mind. The process is simple and client-focused: a short questionnaire the day before your session helps select backdrops or plan locations, and on the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere — music, toys or prompts to bring out natural expressions. Clients consistently praise her speed: image galleries delivered quickly so you can enjoy your memories without waiting. Jane‑Louise also photographs milestone family moments such as baby and children’s portraits, birthday cake‑smashes and special family gatherings. She keeps things all‑inclusive and transparent, offering expert editing while giving you the freedom to print and display your images as you wish. Based in Chesterfield and serving the surrounding Derbyshire area, Jane‑Louise brings warmth, creativity and an expert eye to family photography. If you want authentic, joyful family portraits captured by someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and families, a session with Jane‑Louise promises relaxed fun and beautiful results.
