Natasha Clarke Photography is a Colchester-based family specialist delivering relaxed, natural family photoshoots. With a warm, playful approach she captures genuine connections — at home, outdoors or at golden hour.
If you’re looking for a family photographer in Colchester who specialises in real, joyful moments, you’re in the right place. Natasha Clarke Photography focuses on family photography with a candid, lifestyle approach that puts people at ease — and gets the kind of natural, heartfelt images you’ll want on your walls. Why choose Natasha? A design background and years of hands-on family experience (she’s a mum of two) shape everything she does. Natasha understands the practical realities of family life and the fleeting nature of childhood, so she blends calm organisation with a playful energy that children respond to. Clients regularly comment on her empathy, positivity and ability to make even camera-shy parents relax and enjoy the session. What makes her approach special is how she crafts each session around your family’s personality. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure on a favourite beach, a cosy at-home shoot, or a golden-hour session that uses stunning evening light, Natasha creates a relaxed atmosphere that encourages authentic interactions. Gentle prompts, games and simple direction help children be themselves while she captures unscripted smiles, cuddles and those small, honest moments that mean the most. How it works: Natasha takes time to get to know you before the shoot so the day feels familiar from the moment she arrives. You’ll receive a practical preparation guide with outfit tips and location ideas, plus a short get-to-know call to align on what matters most. On the day just turn up — Natasha will take care of the rest, from moving furniture for at-home light to finding the best natural backdrops outdoors. Sneak previews arrive quickly, and the full gallery is delivered via a private online gallery so you can choose prints and keepsakes when you’re ready. Natasha Clarke Photography is rooted in Colchester and serves families across Essex and Suffolk. If you want family portraits that feel effortless, timeless and true to who you are — photographed by someone who genuinely gets family life — Natasha would love to tell your story through light, colour and connection. Get in touch to start the conversation and plan a family photoshoot that celebrates your people.
