Jess Yarwood Photography

Jess Yarwood is a Crewe-based family photographer who specialises in relaxed, documentary family photography for parents who want real, joyful images that reflect their lives. As a mum herself she understands how children move, play and interact — and how to make sessions feel easy and natural so you get the moments that matter rather than stiff, posed portraits. Her approach is gentle and unobtrusive. Jess prefers to shoot with natural light wherever possible, capturing those in-between laughs, quiet connections and small everyday gestures that tell your family’s story. Whether it’s an hour-long outdoor walk in the woods, a cosy lifestyle shoot at home, or a newborn session that needs extra patience and care, Jess creates an atmosphere where everyone — toddlers, teens and grown-ups — can relax and be themselves. Sessions are designed around your family and your favourite places. You choose the location: the park, the forest, a sandy stretch, or the comfort of home. Jess treats each shoot as a slice-of-life story, using documentary techniques with a little gentle direction for group or portrait shots so you always look natural and connected. Her experience with babies and young children means she knows how to keep things fun and flexible, working at your child’s pace to capture authentic expressions. When the shoot is over you’ll receive a beautifully presented, fully edited digital gallery. Jess delivers the full set of edited images — no pressure to buy extra — and provides a slideshow or online gallery for easy sharing with friends and family. Prints and products can be ordered directly from the private gallery if you’d like physical keepsakes. Why choose Jess? Her photographic eye balances natural, reportage storytelling with thoughtful composition and warm, timeless editing. Based in Crewe and covering the North West, she brings years of experience photographing families, babies and children, combined with a calm, friendly presence that puts everyone at ease. If you want authentic, joyful family photographs that you’ll treasure on your walls for years to come, Jess offers specialist family photoshoots crafted around your life, your children and your favourite places.
