Family photography specialist in Gillingham, Kent. We capture relaxed lifestyle sessions, children and newborns using natural light and a gentle, baby-led approach for timeless keepsakes.
Robert Christopher Photography are specialists in family and newborn photography based in Gillingham, Kent. As a husband-and-wife team with roots in art college and decades behind the lens, we focus on telling family stories through warm, natural imagery. Our approach is intentionally relaxed and child-friendly — we aim to create an atmosphere where real smiles, cosy moments and playful interactions happen naturally. Why choose us? Natasha leads our lifestyle family and at-home newborn work, bringing a calm, reassuring presence that helps even the most camera-shy children relax. We favour window light and gentle direction over studio flashes or forced poses, resulting in honest, timeless portraits that feel like you. Whether it’s an outdoor family photoshoot on the beach, a woodland afternoon, or a comfortable newborn session in your living room, our goal is the same: preserve the little details and quiet emotions that matter most. How we work: every shoot begins with a friendly conversation about what matters to your family — favourite locations, natural routines for babies, and the moments you want remembered. On location sessions are playful and fast-paced to keep children engaged; at-home newborn sessions are unhurried and baby-led, prioritising comfort and safety at every step. After your session you’ll receive a private, password-protected online gallery with beautifully edited, high-resolution images ready to view and download. What makes our imagery different is the blend of artistic training and hands-on family experience. We combine fine-art sensibilities with practical experience of photographing real family life — from first cuddles to chaotic sibling games — so every photograph feels both beautiful and true. Many families choose to preserve their favourites in handcrafted albums, fine art prints, canvases or aluminium wall art for a lasting legacy. Based in Gillingham and serving families across Kent, we specialise in family, children, baby and newborn photography. If you’re looking for a gentle, professional photographer who values authenticity, connection and heirloom-quality images, we’d love to meet you and capture your family’s story.
