Specialist family photographer Claire Sullivan in Chislehurst. Natural, candid family, newborn and baby photoshoots—relaxed, bespoke sessions at home, outdoors or in-studio.
Claire Sullivan of Unique Image Photography is a specialist in family photography based in Chislehurst, bringing over two decades of experience to every family, baby and newborn photoshoot. Claire’s style is beautifully natural and candid: she looks for the small, unscripted moments that tell your family’s story—tender little kisses, cheeky grins, bedtime cuddles and the quiet, everyday connections that matter most. Why choose Claire? You work directly with Claire from first enquiry to final images. That personal touch, combined with more than 22 years working with children and families, means sessions are calm, confident and tailored to your needs. Claire understands babies and children; she is baby-led, patient and playful—she’ll warm up shy children with gentle games and silly faces so authentic smiles follow naturally. For newborns she only books one session a day and allows 2–5 hours so there’s never any rush. How she works with you: Every session starts with a chat to understand what matters to you—whether you want lifestyle portraits at home, relaxed outdoor family shots in local parks, or images taken at Claire’s Bromley studio. Sessions are bespoke and flexible: bring favourite toys, blankets or include the family dog. Claire will guide and gently direct when needed, but her aim is always to capture real interactions rather than stiff poses. Services and special touches: Claire photographs families, newborns, babies and children across Chislehurst, Bromley and South East London. She offers mini sessions for seasonal updates (her Bluebell mini sessions are a popular spring option) as well as longer bespoke portrait sessions. All images are carefully edited and presented in a secure personal gallery so you can choose prints and digital files at your leisure. Local knowledge and reassurance: Based in South East London with extensive experience across Kent and nearby counties, Claire knows the best local locations and how to use light and setting to create timeless portraits. Her friendly, relaxed approach has earned consistently excellent reviews from families who appreciate her calm professionalism, sense of fun and the natural, enduring photographs she creates. If you want family portraits that feel like you—real, relaxed and full of life—Claire at Unique Image Photography in Chislehurst is the specialist to call.
