Julian Austin Photography

I’m Julian Austin and my focus is family photography — capturing the relaxed, honest moments that make your family unique. Based in Faversham and working throughout Kent, I specialise in family photoshoots, children and newborn photography, and family portrait sessions. My approach is informal and friendly: I aim to make even the most camera-shy children feel at ease so you come away with natural, joyful images rather than stiff studio poses. Sessions take place in my purpose-built, bright photography studio where there’s plenty of space and a calm atmosphere for babies and young children. I tailor every shoot to your family’s needs — whether you want playful images of the kids, tender newborn portraits, or a relaxed multi-generation family portrait. If you prefer, I can also work on location to capture your family in a familiar place that has meaning to you. My process is simple and collaborative. Before your session we’ll talk through ideas and any special requirements so everyone knows what to expect. On the day I use a gentle, conversational style and a few tried-and-tested techniques to settle children quickly and bring out genuine expressions. You can view images as we go or return for a relaxed viewing appointment, and I’ll guide you through the choices so you get prints, wall art or digital files that suit your home and lifestyle. I provide careful editing and retouching to enhance colour, tone and minor blemishes while keeping the integrity of each moment. For families who want keepsakes, I offer a range of finished products from framed prints to custom wall art — all created to showcase your favourite images. With nearly two decades of experience photographing families across the region, I combine technical skill with a warm, unpressured studio experience. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Faversham who specialises in family photoshoots, children and newborn portraits, get in touch — I’d love to help you create photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
