Specialist family photographer in Chippenham, creating relaxed, natural family photoshoots and mini-portraits. Focused on authentic moments with children and parents.
The Official Photographer is a specialist in family photography based in Chippenham. With a clear focus on capturing real connections, we create family photos that feel natural, warm and timeless. Whether you’re booking a full family session or a shorter mini-portrait, our aim is to produce images that reflect your family’s personality — not staged poses that feel forced. Why choose The Official Photographer for your family photoshoot? We place the relationship with your family at the centre of every session. Our approach is calm and conversational: we work gently with parents and children to create an easy atmosphere where smiles, laughter and small, honest moments happen naturally. That relaxed environment helps even the most camera-shy children settle, so you get portraits that show who you really are together. Our style favours authentic, story-driven images. We look for candid interactions, quiet details and the little gestures that define family life — holding hands, a shared joke, a sleepy newborn stretch — then compose these moments into portraits that are both beautiful and meaningful. Natural light, comfortable locations around Chippenham and unobtrusive direction help us keep sessions enjoyable and stress-free. How we work: every shoot begins with a friendly pre-session conversation to learn what matters most to you — whether that’s energetic play with children, gentle newborn portraits, or a relaxed multi-generational family portrait. On the day we guide you through simple, natural prompts and capture a mix of candid and posed images so you have a varied gallery to choose from. After the session we carefully edit your selected images to ensure consistent colour, tone and emotion across your final photos. Rooted in Chippenham and proud of our 5-star reputation, The Official Photographer brings a thoughtful, experienced touch to family portraiture. We strive to create images you’ll be happy to display and to share, and a session experience that feels effortless from start to finish. If you’re looking for a family photoshoot that prioritises authenticity, warmth and lasting memories, The Official Photographer in Chippenham is here to capture your story.
