Specialist family photography in Glen Parva — DC Photo Studio creates relaxed, authentic family portraits. Dip Chandarana’s studio sessions capture natural moments you’ll cherish.
DC Photo Studio is a family photography specialist based in Glen Parva, serving Leicester and the surrounding area. Led by Dip Chandarana — a qualified fashion photographer (First Class Hons, BCU) — the studio brings a refined eye for composition and lighting to every family photoshoot. Our approach is rooted in "beauty in simplicity": we favour natural, heartfelt moments over stiff posing, creating portraits that feel genuine and timeless. What makes DC Photo Studio different is the combination of a fashion-trained photographer’s technical skill with a warm, family-first way of working. Sessions take place in a roomy, creative 1,000 sq ft studio with flexible backdrops, a private make-up and changing area, and an atmosphere designed to put children and adults at ease. Dip’s experience with lighting and styling means even simple sessions result in beautifully composed images with depth and emotion. We specialise in family and portrait work — from multi-generation family portraits and playful children’s sessions to intimate couple and parent-child moments. Our sessions are tailored: before the shoot we talk through what matters to you, suggest wardrobe and styling that photograph well, and design a relaxed plan so the whole family can enjoy the experience. For children we prioritise patience, playful direction and timing, allowing personalities and candid expressions to shine through. The process is collaborative and low-stress. On the day, we create a calm, encouraging environment that helps even camera-shy family members relax. Post-shoot, images are carefully edited to enhance tone and detail while keeping a natural look — portraits you’ll be proud to display at home or share with loved ones. While family and portraits are our core focus, DC Photo Studio also offers additional photography support such as product and event coverage when required. Above all, our goal is to preserve real connections: photographs that tell your family’s story now and become keepsakes for years to come. If you’re looking for specialist family photography in Glen Parva and Leicester with a thoughtful, professional approach, DC Photo Studio is ready to capture your moments.
