Jonathan Stockton Photography

Jonathan Stockton is a specialist family photographer based in Cramlington, bringing a relaxed, honest and artistic eye to every family photoshoot. Rooted in a love of storytelling and a belief that the best images come from real moments, Jonathan’s style is spontaneous, informal and quietly creative. He genuinely loves his work and puts heart and soul into creating photographs that feel natural and timeless. Why choose Jonathan for your family shoot? He focuses on making sessions easy and enjoyable for everyone involved — especially children who don’t always sit still on command. His calm, friendly manner helps even camera-shy parents relax, and his experience with lifestyle family photography means he knows how to find genuine interaction and emotion without forced posing. The result is a set of images that reflect your family exactly as you are: full of personality, warmth and connection. Jonathan works both on location around Northumberland and the North East and in his comfortable Cramlington studio. Whether you love coastal backdrops like Bamburgh and Druridge Bay, the quiet beauty of Plessey Woods and Bolam Lake, or the contemporary character of Newcastle and Gateshead, he’ll help select a setting that complements your family and feels true to you. He’s equally happy to photograph relaxed at-home sessions where familiar surroundings bring out the best in little ones. The session experience is centred on ease and authenticity. Jonathan spends time getting to know you, creating a relaxed atmosphere where laughter and small moments can be captured naturally. After your shoot he applies thoughtful, artistic editing in his studio to present your images with the style and polish they deserve. Final photos are delivered through a private online gallery for easy viewing and sharing. Above all, Jonathan’s work is about preserving memories you’ll return to for years. If you want family portraits that prioritise real emotion over stiff formality — created by a photographer who loves what he does and who knows how to work with children and families — Jonathan Stockton in Cramlington offers a friendly, professional and highly personal approach.
