Based in Gloucester, CSPortraits specialises in family photography—lifestyle with a touch of posed portraits. Courtney creates relaxed, natural sessions that capture real connections.
If you want family photos that feel like you rather than a stiff studio set‑up, CSPortraits in Gloucester is built for that. Courtney Leonard specialises in family photography, focusing on lifestyle imagery with a touch of posed portraits to deliver warm, timeless pictures you’ll be proud to display at home. Courtney’s path to photography is personal — after becoming a mother in 2018 she channelled that love for family life into a home studio business she opened in 2021. That experience as a parent shapes how she works: patient, welcoming and tuned into the small moments that matter. Her sessions are relaxed and family‑led, allowing natural interactions, laughter and the quiet, intimate gestures that make each family unique. Why choose CSPortraits? Courtney’s approach is deliberately gentle and unobtrusive. She combines a documentary, lifestyle sensibility with light, minimal posing so everyone — even the camera‑shy — feels at ease. The result is authentic, airy imagery that captures personalities and real connections rather than forced smiles. Whether you prefer the comfort of her home studio or an outdoor shoot in Gloucester’s seasonal light, Courtney creates a calm atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax. Working with Courtney is collaborative and simple. She listens to what matters to you, suggests locations or styling that suit your family, and guides moments without taking over. Her goal is to produce images that become part of your daily life — framed portraits, albums and digital keepsakes that your family will revisit for years. While family photography is the core of CSPortraits, Courtney also offers complementary maternity and newborn sessions for clients who want a fuller story of early parenthood. Her sessions are always handled with care, reflecting the same relaxed, home‑from‑home atmosphere and attention to safety and comfort. If you’re in Gloucester and looking for a family photographer who values warmth, authenticity and timeless storytelling, CSPortraits offers thoughtful, professional family portraits delivered with heart. Courtney would be honoured to capture your family’s next chapter.
