Specialist family photography in Colchester. Lianne creates timeless, natural portraits in her cosy home studio or at golden hour, welcoming babies, children and multi‑generation families.
If you’re looking for family photography in Colchester that feels warm, relaxed and genuinely you, I’d love to help. At Lianne Marie Photography I specialise in creating simple, timeless family portraits that celebrate the connection between you — whether that’s parents and newborns, playful toddlers, older babies or multi‑generation gatherings. My style is natural and understated; I believe less is more, and aim to capture honest moments rather than overly staged poses. My approach is friendly and family-centred. Sessions usually take place in my cosy home studio in Stanway or outdoors around golden hour when the light is soft and golden. I help with styling and wardrobe ideas — neutral, earthy tones and soft textures work beautifully — and I have a small studio wardrobe and props available so you don’t have to worry. I take time to get to know your family first, creating a calm atmosphere where children feel comfortable and parents can relax. For parents of newborns I work baby-led and with safety at the forefront; I’m trained in baby safety and posing and bring a gentle, patient approach to every shoot. Working with children and babies requires flexibility and good humour. I pride myself on being patient, playful and prepared: I’ll guide you through natural interactions, suggest simple prompts to encourage connection, and let little personalities shine. Whether you want candid family moments, soft studio portraits or a sunset field session, I focus on authentic emotion and timeless imagery you’ll treasure. I started Lianne Marie Photography after becoming a mum myself, and my family life inspires everything I do. I understand how fast these seasons pass and why capturing them matters. From first‑birthday portraits and older‑baby milestone sessions to relaxed family shoots that include grandparents and siblings, I approach each booking with care and an eye for the small details that make your family unique. If you’d like a friendly, professional family photographer in Colchester who delivers natural, timeless portraits in a calm and welcoming setting, get in touch — I’d love to meet you and your family.
