Emily Graham is a Chingford-based family photographer who specialises in warm, honest family photography that feels like you. Her approach combines lifestyle and fine art portraiture to create images that are natural, emotive and lasting—photos you’ll want framed and revisited for years to come. Why choose Emily? With a background as a children’s nurse and experience as a parent, Emily brings exceptional patience, warmth and practical know-how to every family shoot. She understands how to read a child’s mood, calm a fidgety toddler and capture spontaneous moments of connection without forcing smiles or stiff poses. The result is relaxed, joyful photography that shows your family as you really are. What makes Emily’s approach special is her emphasis on intimacy and authenticity. She uses natural light and gentle direction to encourage real interactions—playing, reading, cuddling, exploring—so the photographs feel lived-in rather than staged. Whether you prefer the familiarity of a home session, the soft backdrop of Epping Forest, or the vibrant streets of East London, Emily crafts each shoot around what helps your family feel most at ease. How she works with you: Emily starts with a friendly conversation to understand your family, your priorities and any practical needs. On the day, she creates a calm atmosphere where kids can be themselves and grown-ups can relax. Her style blends unobtrusive documentary moments with thoughtfully composed portraits, giving you a beautiful mix of storytelling images and classic family portraits. Beyond general family sessions, Emily is experienced photographing children, newborns and family occasions such as baptisms, naming ceremonies and birthday celebrations. She treats every booking as bespoke—listening to how you want to remember this time and delivering polished, individually edited images that reflect your family’s personality. If you want family photography that feels effortless, honest and full of warmth, Emily Graham in Chingford is a specialist you can trust to capture the small, meaningful moments that become treasured family memories.
