CameraLikeSo

Hi — I’m Claire, the photographer behind CameraLikeSo. Based in Felixstowe, I specialise in family photography and have been creating warm, natural portraits since launching CameraLikeSo in 2014. My approach centres on making families feel relaxed so the real connections and little personalities shine through. Whether it’s toddlers, children, newborns or a multi-generation family portrait, I focus on timeless images you’ll want to display around the home. Why choose CameraLikeSo for your family photoshoot? My home studio is designed to be practical and welcoming — toys to entertain little ones, spare nappies if needed and a wide selection of props and fabrics to personalise your session. I work patiently and playfully to engage children, turning nervousness into curiosity and candid moments into beautiful photographs. The result is a collection of images that look and feel like you: natural, unforced and full of character. What makes my approach special is a blend of gentle direction and documentary observation. I’ll guide poses and outfit choices so you feel comfortable, but I’m always watching for spontaneous smiles, sibling interactions and quiet, tender moments. Families often tell me they love how relaxed the session felt and how the final images capture real family dynamics rather than stiff, posed shots. How I work with you: sessions are tailored to your family’s needs — from short portrait sessions to longer shoots that include siblings and parents. Partners and children are always welcome, and I encourage bringing meaningful items like a favourite teddy or a knitted blanket to add a personal touch. I also offer guidance on what to wear and how to prepare so you arrive confident and ready to enjoy the experience. I’m passionate about helping families preserve moments that pass too quickly. Many clients return for milestone shoots as children grow, and I love being part of that journey. If you’d like relaxed, professional family photos taken in a friendly, home-studio environment in Felixstowe, I’d love to hear from you. Book online or drop me a message to discuss a session — let’s create images you and your family will treasure for years to come.
