Monika Gorska is a Devizes-based family specialist who creates warm, authentic portraits celebrating love, closeness and everyday tenderness. Relaxed studio or outdoor sessions tailored to your family.
I am Monika, the photographer behind Turnipko, and family photography is at the heart of what I do. Based in Devizes, I specialise in capturing the quiet, everyday moments that become the most treasured memories — the little hands, the shared smiles, the gentle gestures that reveal your family’s unique story. I position myself as a family specialist because I believe that those authentic moments deserve gentle attention, patient guidance and a sensitive, creative eye. My approach is natural and relaxed. Whether you prefer the calm of my home studio in Devizes or the freedom of an outdoor setting, I focus on creating an atmosphere where everyone — children and parents alike — can be themselves. I guide rather than direct, using simple prompts and playful interactions to bring out genuine emotion. This conversational, unobtrusive method helps even the most camera-shy family members feel at ease and results in images that feel honest, warm and timeless. Before the session we’ll talk through your ideas, colour palettes and any special details you want to preserve. I pay attention to the everyday: the way siblings hold hands, the sleepy curl of a toddler, the quiet pride in a parent’s gaze. I aim to capture those ephemeral moments so you can look back and remember not just how your family looked, but how it felt. As a parent myself who loves anything handmade and thoughtfully created, I bring a personal, caring touch to every photoshoot. I’m committed to producing photographs that are both beautiful and meaningful — images you’ll be proud to display and pass down. My post-processing is careful and considered, enhancing the mood of each image while keeping the authenticity of the moment intact. Choosing Turnipko means working with someone who values connection, patience and storytelling. If you’re in Devizes or the surrounding area and want family portraits that reflect real emotion and timeless tenderness, I’d be honoured to work with you. Let’s create a relaxed, memorable photoshoot that celebrates your family exactly as it is.
