Darlington-based family photography with a relaxed, candid style. Kav creates natural, joyful family portraits and gentle newborn images that celebrate real connections.
Specialist family photographer in Darlington — that’s me, Kav. My focus is on family photography because I believe those everyday connections are the images you’ll treasure most. Whether it’s parents with their children, multi-generation portraits, or the quiet first days with a newborn, I work to capture authentic moments that feel natural and unfussy. Why choose Kav Photography? I’m a super laid-back photographer who prioritises atmosphere over posing. My style is relaxed and candid: I look for the little gestures, the laughter between siblings, the quiet looks, and the spontaneous moments that show the real story of your family. I bring a calm, friendly presence so even camera-shy kids feel comfortable — and parents can actually be present with their loved ones rather than stuck in staged photos. How I work with families is simple and collaborative. We’ll chat about what matters to you — favourite locations, whether you’d prefer an at-home session, or a park that holds special memories — and I’ll adapt to your family’s rhythm. I aim to create a comfortable atmosphere where everyone can be themselves, encouraging natural interaction rather than rigid direction. For newborn and baby sessions I take a gentle, patient approach to ensure safety and relaxed images that reflect those fleeting early days. My background blends creative experience with a practical, down-to-earth attitude. I live in Darlington and am passionate about supporting local families — offering an affordable, high-quality experience rooted in genuine care for each session. After the shoot I carefully edit your images and deliver them digitally, ready to share and to keep for years to come. If you’re looking for family photos that feel honest, warm and personal, I’d love to capture your story. I specialise in family and related sessions (including maternity and newborn), and I’m proud to craft portraits that become part of your family’s memories.
