Capture Erin Photography

Hey — I’m Erin, a Formby-based family photographer who truly loves capturing the small, messy, beautiful moments that make family life unique. As a specialist in family photography, I focus on newborns, babies, children and family portraits, bringing a relaxed, documentary-led approach with a playful vintage twist. Think real smiles, tiny toes, and the kind of photos that look like they belong in a treasured time capsule. Why choose me? I blend film and digital to create images that feel nostalgic yet fresh. My signature ‘time-traveller’ vintage vibes come from an affection for classic film textures and candid storytelling — but I’m equally at home with bright, modern portraits when that’s what your family prefers. Families come to me because I make shoots fun, low-pressure and genuinely enjoyable, which is exactly how the best photographs happen. How I work with families: we start with a friendly chat to find out what matters to you — favourite locations around Formby, whether you want outdoor play-based sessions or cosy indoor moments, and any little details (special toys, nap schedules, or a preferred outfit palette). On the day I keep things calm and flexible: I encourage natural interaction, give gentle prompts when needed, and know how to work with unpredictable toddlers and sleepy newborns to capture authentic emotion. My process is simple and personal. I aim to make every family session feel like hanging out with an old friend — full of laughs, patience and honest moments. I love shooting outdoors across the North West and also offer themed mini sessions when seasonal opportunities arise. After our session, you’ll receive a carefully edited selection of images that highlight the personality and connection in your family. I’m based in Formby and proud to serve families across Liverpool and the North West. If you want professional family photos with warmth, charm and a little bit of vintage magic, get in touch — let’s chat about your vision and create photographs you’ll return to again and again.
