Emilia Michaels photography

Emilia Michaels photography is a specialist family photographer based in Faversham, Kent, led by Georgina — a mum whose work is rooted in the love and real life of family life. Her mission is simple: to freeze the ordinary, fleeting moments that become the most treasured memories. As a family-focused photographer she brings a calm, warm presence to every shoot so children (and camera‑shy parents) feel relaxed and natural. Why choose Emilia Michaels photography? Georgina’s approach is personal and bespoke. She works primarily with families in their own homes and in favourite outdoor spaces around Faversham and Kent, creating an environment where little ones are comfortable and genuine emotions can shine. Her sessions prioritise connection over posed perfection — quiet cuddles, giggles, bedtime yawns and the little hands that grow so fast. That documentary‑style sensibility is balanced with carefully composed portraits, soft natural light and a palette that keeps the focus on faces and relationships. How she works: every family session begins with a friendly pre‑shoot chat so Georgina can understand what matters most to you — which relationships you want to highlight, favourite locations, and any special items you'd like included. She offers guidance on styling (she recommends neutral colours and minimal patterns to keep attention on your family’s expressions) and selects bespoke backdrops or props when needed. During the shoot she uses a gentle, conversational approach to put everyone at ease and create playful, candid moments as well as timeless posed portraits. What to expect from your images: you’ll receive a thoughtfully edited gallery of photographs that feel authentic, warm and enduring — images designed to be displayed, gifted and passed down. While family photography is the core of her work, Georgina also brings the same caring approach to maternity and newborn sessions when families want a continuous, milestone‑based record of early life. If you’re in Faversham or elsewhere in Kent and searching for a family photographer who values comfort, honesty and the small details, Emilia Michaels photography offers a heartfelt, professional experience that celebrates your family exactly as it is.
