Bright Apple Photography

Hi — I’m Danielle, the face behind Bright Apple Photography. As an award-winning photographer and a mum myself, I specialise in family photography with a gentle, storytelling approach that puts relationships and real moments at the heart of every image. Based in East Molesey, I work from a welcoming studio and scout beautiful Surrey locations—from bluebell woods to riverside spots—so you can choose the look that best suits your family. Why choose me? My experience photographing families and newborns since 2002 means I know how to keep shoots relaxed, playful and productive. I’m DBS approved and trained in paediatric first aid, and I’ve won multiple Guild of Photographers awards for newborn, maternity and children’s work. But awards aside, what I love most is creating images that become family heirlooms: the tiny toes, the candid laughs, the quiet glances that tell your story. My style is natural, simple and fresh. I aim to capture both relaxed portraits and candid moments, encouraging real interaction rather than forced poses. For little ones I use a playful, patient approach to help them feel at ease; for parents I focus on creating a comfortable atmosphere so genuine connection shows through. Whether you prefer a cosy studio session in Molesey or an outdoor family photoshoot in nearby Weybridge, Cobham or Kingston, I’ll help you choose locations, outfits and a plan that fits your family’s personality. How I work with you: we start with a friendly conversation to understand what you want to capture—whether that’s a multi-generation family portrait, children’s milestones, a newborn welcome, or a special birthday or christening. On the day I work at your pace, keeping things fun and unhurried so we capture authentic expressions rather than stiff smiles. After the shoot I carefully edit your images to create a timeless gallery you’ll be proud to display. If you’re looking for a family photographer in East Molesey or across Surrey who treats your moments with care and creativity, get in touch. I’d love to talk about your ideas and create photos your family will treasure for generations.
