Emma at Vivid Photography creates relaxed, timeless family and children portraits in Colne and the Ribble Valley. Studio or location shoots with fine‑art styling and bespoke wall art.
I’m Emma — a family portrait photographer based near Colne in the heart of the Ribble Valley. For over a decade I’ve specialised in creating timeless, one‑of‑a‑kind family portraits that celebrate relationships, sibling bonds and childhood. My aim is always the same: to capture the real, joyful moments that become the photographs you treasure for years to come. Why choose Vivid Photography for your family photoshoot? I take a fine‑art approach to family photography: careful composition, considered lighting and a focus on natural expression. Whether you prefer a relaxed studio session in my outbuilding studio or an outdoor location around Colne, I work to create a calm atmosphere where children feel safe and families can simply be themselves. My sessions are child‑friendly and designed to let personalities shine — I balance gentle direction with plenty of freedom so the true connections are captured. My process is personal and straightforward. Every shoot begins with a pre‑session consultation so we can plan your look, choose backdrops or locations, and discuss any newborn or sibling shots you’d like. On the day I guide you through poses and outfit choices, helping everyone feel at ease. I hand‑edit each final image, delivering refined digital files and offering a range of handcrafted wall art and mounted prints if you’d like to display your portraits at home. I understand how quickly little ones grow — I regularly photograph children and newborns and know the techniques that help get the best results. My family galleries present both the family as a whole and individual portraits, giving each person their moment to shine. Clients often tell me they value the relaxed, five‑star experience and the lasting heirlooms we create together. If you’re looking for family photography in Colne or the Ribble Valley that blends fine‑art styling with a warm, professional experience, I’d love to meet you. Get in touch to discuss a studio or location session and we’ll plan a photoshoot that reflects your family’s story and creates beautiful images to treasure.
