Studio Shotz

Studio Shotz is a boutique family photography studio in Christchurch, GB, run by Zelda de Hollander. As a specialist in family portraiture, Zelda brings a thoughtful, personal approach to every shoot — combining a background in commercial photography with a genuine love of capturing family life. Her work is built around creating relaxed, natural images that reflect each family’s personality rather than forcing artificial poses. Why choose Studio Shotz for your family photos? Zelda’s experience (BA Hons in Commercial Photography) and her early fascination with lighting inform everything she does: small adjustments to light and composition turn ordinary moments into images that feel modern, warm and timeless. Clients regularly comment on how comfortable their children feel in the studio, and how easily Zelda finds genuine smiles and quiet moments between siblings and parents. What makes the approach special is the emphasis on atmosphere and connection. Zelda aims to make sessions fun and informal, so photos feel honest rather than staged. She spends time getting to know families before and during the shoot, offering gentle direction and creative ideas while allowing natural interactions to lead the story. That balance—artful lighting and a relaxed, playful atmosphere—gives Studio Shotz portraits their signature look. How Studio Shotz works with families is straightforward and client-focused. The business is appointment-led and boutique in scale, giving you one-to-one attention from Zelda and her fully professional, insured team. Sessions are paced to suit children and babies; Zelda understands how to work with different ages and temperaments to keep the experience positive for everyone. For families who prefer their own surroundings, location shoots are also available to capture your home life or favourite outdoor spots. Zelda’s commitment to professionalism and care shows in every step: from thoughtful pre-shoot conversations to skilled post-production, the goal is beautiful images you’ll be proud to display. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Christchurch who blends technical craft with warmth and patience, Studio Shotz offers a specialist, personal service tailored to modern family life.
