Woodland Hill Photography

Woodland Hill Photography is Claire Hill’s heartfelt approach to family portraiture, based in East Grinstead and serving families across Sussex, Kent and Surrey. If you want photographs that feel honest, joyful and unmistakably yours, Claire is the specialist who’ll guide you from first contact to the moment your portraits hang on the wall. Claire’s work is rooted in storytelling. She creates calm, unhurried sessions that let personalities and relationships breathe — whether that’s the sleepy curl of a newborn, the delighted mess of a first birthday cake smash, or the cheeky gaze of a child discovering the camera is actually fun. Her sessions are designed to be warm and easy: a planning conversation to customise the experience, a relaxed shoot where family life is celebrated (not staged), and a design consultation to help you choose beautiful wall art and heirloom products. Why choose Woodland Hill Photography? Claire brings professional training and a long-running commitment to craft into a gentle, playful approach. Her clients often say the experience felt more like an afternoon with a friendly storyteller than a formal photoshoot — and that ease shows in the images. The emphasis is always on capturing authentic connection: the tiny gestures, the laughter, and the quiet moments that make family life meaningful. Practical, personal and thoughtful, the process is tailored for families: newborn sessions are paced for feeds and cuddles; cake smash and splash experiences are fun, safe and full of expression; children’s portraits are guided so even camera-shy little ones relax and shine. For pet-loving families, Claire also creates pawtraits that honour the treasured bond between you and your animal companions. Woodland Hill Photography isn’t about one-size-fits-all packages — it’s about a curated experience that results in heirloom-quality images and wall art you’ll be proud to live with every day. If you’re in East Grinstead or nearby and want a family photoshoot that feels personal, joyful and genuinely relaxed, Claire would love to chat and help you plan something brilliant.
