Woodard Photography

I specialise in family photography in Crawley — capturing the real, everyday moments that make your family unique. Based in Pound Hill, I provide relaxed studio sessions and outdoor family photoshoots that feel natural, not staged. My aim is to create images you’ll love to print and display: candid play, gentle posed portraits and those tiny, tell-tale expressions that tell your family’s story. Why choose Woodard Photography for your family photos? I’ve been photographing families for years and I know how to work with children of all ages — from newborns and babies to toddlers and teenagers. I focus on making sessions calm and enjoyable: a warm studio, a selection of backdrops and props, and a client wardrobe of maternity and children’s outfits to help create a look you’ll love. For families who prefer a more candid feel, I offer outdoor sessions that use local parks and woods to capture playful, colourful moments. My approach is gentle and practical. Sessions are paced around your children so we avoid rushing and get the authentic smiles and interactions that matter. I’m experienced working with children with additional needs and take the time to adapt the session so everyone is comfortable. Safety and care are central to what I do — especially when photographing babies — and I’m fully insured and trained in newborn safety. From preparation to finished images I keep things simple: clear pre-session guidance, a friendly welcome at the studio or a relaxed outdoor shoot, an online viewing gallery and careful editing. I offer light, natural edits as standard and enhanced retouching when requested so your images look their best while still feeling true to you. Whether you want a studio family portrait, candid outdoor gallery, a sitter or cake-smash session to mark a child’s milestone, or a maternity-and-baby combination to celebrate a new arrival, I’ll work with you to plan a session that reflects your family.
