Michael White in Coventry creates relaxed, natural family and newborn portraits. His unobtrusive, documentary-led approach helps children and parents feel at ease for timeless images.
If you’re looking for family photography in Coventry that feels honest, relaxed and genuinely you, I’m Michael White — a specialist in family and newborn portraiture with a hands-on, human approach. My work is about catching the moments families actually live: the small smiles, the silly games, the comforting hugs and the everyday chaos that becomes tomorrow’s treasured memories. I trained in Fine Art & Photography and have spent years refining a style that blends documentary storytelling with warm, natural portraiture. I don’t force poses or stage false smiles — instead I work to blend in, become part of the occasion and let real interactions lead the image. Children and babies respond to that calm, friendly energy; parents relax and the photos that follow are relaxed, honest and full of personality. My sessions are built around your family’s life. Whether it’s an outdoor location shoot, a newborn/baby home session or a playful children’s portrait, I focus on creating a comfortable atmosphere where you can be yourselves. I’m patient with little ones and experienced at capturing character, allowing enough time for the laughter, the quiet moments and everything in between. For new parents, I bring a gentle, unhurried approach to document those early days without intrusive studio setups — just real family life. I take pride in how I process your images. Each photo is individually edited to ensure colour, tone and mood sit together as a cohesive collection that tells the story of your family. I don’t rely on mass presets — I handcraft the post-production so your photos feel authentic and personal. Based in Coventry and serving families across the West Midlands and beyond, I love helping people preserve their stories in a way that’s warm, honest and timeless. If you want family portraits that reflect who you really are — relaxed, natural and full of heart — let’s have a chat and plan a session that fits your family and your life.
