Lightdraw Photography in Daventry specialises in relaxed, storytelling family and children portraits. Husband-and-wife team James & Katie create timeless images in-studio or on location.
Lightdraw Photography is a specialist family photography studio based in Daventry. Run by husband-and-wife team James & Katie, we focus on capturing the real, emotional moments that make every family unique. As specialists in family and portrait photography, we bring an experienced, calm approach that helps everyone — from newborns to teens — feel at ease in front of the camera. Our style is natural, warm and timeless. We blend relaxed studio portraits with lifestyle, on-location imagery to tell your family’s story without forced posing. Whether you want a classic family portrait to hang on the wall or a series of playful, candid images of your children growing up, our aim is always the same: beautiful images you’ll cherish for years. We take particular care with newborn and baby shoots, creating a comfortable, cosy environment so the whole session flows at your family’s pace. Working with Lightdraw is friendly and personal. From first contact to the moment you collect your finished photographs and handmade products, we guide you through a simple, enjoyable process. We start with a conversation to understand what matters most to you, plan the session to suit your family, and make sure everyone feels relaxed — often over a cup of tea and biscuits. After the shoot you’ll be invited to a viewing and design consultation at our studio where we help you choose the images and presentation that best suit your home. We believe presentation matters. Alongside digital delivery and password-protected online galleries for family sharing, we offer beautifully crafted products designed to showcase your images in print. Our work is informed by years of portrait experience and a dedication to true-to-life editing that preserves the emotion and character of each moment. If you’re in Daventry or the surrounding area and looking for a family photographer who specialises in relaxed, story-led portraits, James & Katie at Lightdraw Photography are ready to help. We focus on making sessions fun, straightforward and memorable — so you can enjoy the experience and keep the memories forever.
