East Dereham family photographer creating relaxed, documentary-style family and children portraits. Andy’s cheese-free approach captures true emotion and everyday connections you’ll love.
Andy Davison is a specialist family photographer based in East Dereham, working across Norfolk to create relaxed, authentic family photography that feels natural and timeless. With a calm, friendly approach and years of experience behind the camera, Andy focuses on capturing real moments—the laughter, the small gestures and the honest connections that make your family unique. His style is deliberately documentary-led and 'cheese-free': minimal posing, plenty of candid interaction and an emphasis on storytelling rather than staged portraiture. Sessions are tailored to your family, whether that means a short outdoor shoot at a favourite Norfolk green, a relaxed lifestyle session at home, or an energetic children’s portrait session where play and movement create the best images. Andy understands how to work with all ages and personalities; his patient, conversational manner helps even the most camera-shy children feel at ease, so you get genuine smiles and natural expressions rather than forced poses. How he works: from the first enquiry you’ll notice a considered, reassuring process. Andy prefers a relaxed chat to understand what matters to you—your children’s routines, favourite places and the moments you most want to remember. On the day he aims to create a warm, low-pressure atmosphere where families can be themselves. He guides gently when needed, but mostly observes and records the interaction, capturing the little details and spontaneous moments that make up family life. As a photographer who values quality over gimmicks, Andy takes care with every stage of the edit and presentation so your images look beautiful for years to come. He’s committed to delivering images that feel honest, full of energy and packed with emotion—photos you’ll return to again and again. If you’re looking for a family photoshoot in East Dereham or elsewhere in Norfolk that prioritises authenticity, warmth and real-life moments, Andy Davison is a trusted, experienced choice who treats every session with the same care and attention.
