Based in Chesterfield, Journey Life Photography specialises in relaxed, photo‑journalistic family photoshoots. Natural-location or mobile-studio sessions capture authentic family, children and newborn moments.
At Journey Life Photography I specialise in family photography — capturing honest, natural moments that tell the story of your family. Based in Chesterfield and working throughout Derbyshire and Yorkshire, my photo‑journalistic approach focuses on relaxed interactions rather than forced poses. The result is a collection of images that feel genuine, emotive and timeless. My process is simple and client‑centred. Before the session I take time to understand what matters to you — favourite places, playful routines with the children, or particular newborn shots you’d like to treasure. On the day I aim to put you at ease: I work unobtrusively with natural light on location at parks, Peak District spots or in the comfort of your own home. If you prefer studio‑style portraits, I bring a professional mobile studio and lighting to create clean, modern family portraits and baby images without you needing to travel. Children and newborns are at the heart of many family sessions. I use patience, gentle direction and a relaxed atmosphere to capture real smiles, small connections and the quiet in‑between moments that often mean the most. My experience with newborn and baby photography means I know how to be flexible and calm, creating a safe environment for little ones while still producing creative, high‑quality images. Every image is carefully edited using professional software to ensure consistent colour, tone and resolution. My aim is to deliver photographs that bring you straight back to how it felt — the laughter, the warmth and the small details of family life. I also offer high quality print options for those who want to display their favourite images at home. Why choose Journey Life Photography? You’ll get a specialist family photographer who blends a friendly, professional approach with a creative eye shaped by a background in graphic design and architecture. Whether you want joyful, candid storytelling images or more formal family portraits, I adapt my style to reflect your family’s personality and make the session enjoyable for everyone. Get in touch to discuss your family photoshoot in Chesterfield or the surrounding Peak District — I’d love to help you capture these moments to cherish forever.
