Silver and Salt Photos

Silver and Salt Photos is Carley’s heartfelt approach to family photography in Egham. Named for the very beginnings of photography, the business is built on capturing those small, treasured snippets in time — the everyday smiles, the loud giggles, and the quiet moments between a parent and child. If you want family photos that feel genuine rather than staged, Carley specialises in relaxed, natural portraits that let personalities shine. Why choose Silver and Salt Photos? Carley brings a unique combination of technical know-how and real experience with young children. A former primary school teacher with years working in Early Years, she knows how to create a calm, playful atmosphere where even the most camera-shy little ones settle and smile. Sessions are unposed and fun; the goal is to catch authentic emotion and real connections so your images feel like memories, not manufactured shots. Style and approach: Whether in her cosy garden studio or at one of the beautiful outdoor locations she knows locally, Carley uses natural light and simple backdrops to keep the focus on your family. Outdoor shoots thrive in morning light or at golden hour, when nature becomes the perfect, effortless backdrop. Studio moments are warm and intimate — ideal for capturing close family bonds or the tiny details of a child’s expression. How she works with you: Carley prioritises a relaxed experience. Before the session she’ll chat about locations, clothing and what you’d like to preserve. On the day she creates a child-friendly environment where play is encouraged and props are made to be touched. Sessions are designed to fit family life, with plenty of patience, gentle direction and a sense of humour. After the shoot you receive a private online gallery to choose your favourite images — no pressure, just beautiful photos to treasure. Beyond family portraits Carley also runs seasonal mini sessions, cake-smash shoots for birthdays and pop-up events at local play cafés, all with the same relaxed, child-centred approach. If you’re in Egham or nearby and want family photos that feel honest, joyful and timeless, get in touch with Silver and Salt Photos and let Carley help you save those snippets for years to come.
