Aunty Sophie Photography

Aunty Sophie Photography is your Gloucester specialist for family photography, dedicated to creating timeless portraits that celebrate how your family feels as much as how it looks. Sophie brings a warm, calm and patient presence to every session — she knows that the best pictures grow from relaxed moments, gentle guidance and a little bit of fun. Her studio is a luxury, well-equipped space stocked with outfits, props and themed ideas so you don’t have to worry about the details. Why choose Sophie? She began photographing families as an extension of her own parenting journey and has since trained extensively to refine a style that blends fine art sensibility with natural, documentary moments. Sophie is a perfectionist with a huge empathy for parents and babies; she focuses on creating an easy atmosphere so mums, dads and little ones leave feeling happy about the experience, not stressed. This approach produces images that are joyful, honest and meaningful — photographs you’ll want on your wall and in your family album. What makes her approach special is the combination of personalised planning and a relaxed studio day. Every family photoshoot starts with a chat — Sophie listens to your ideas, suggests themes or fine art looks, and tailors the session to suit your family’s dynamic. In the studio she works gently with children of all ages, encouraging smiles and genuine interactions rather than forced poses. She also captures milestone moments across the family lifecycle, from maternity and newborn shoots to sitter and children’s sessions, so you can document the story of your family with a consistent, considered style. How Sophie works: sessions are unhurried and family-centred. The studio’s space and facilities mean siblings and grandparents are welcome, and Sophie provides outfits, props and thoughtful styling to make the day easy for you. After the shoot you’ll view the final images in a relaxed sit-down where Sophie helps you choose keepsakes and display options that suit your home. If you want a Gloucester family photographer who specialises in creating calm, creative and beautifully crafted family portraits, Sophie would love to chat about your ideas and bring them to life.
