Jessica Rose Photography

I’m Jess — a mum of three and a Gloucester-based family photographer who specialises in calm, natural family and children photography. My work is rooted in honesty: no stiff posing, no gimmicks — just real moments that show who you are as a family. I focus on the connections, the laughter, the crumbs-on-the-floor kind of love that becomes more precious with time. Why choose me? Years of experience working with families (and lots of patience learned at home!) mean I know how to guide a session so it feels easy and fun. Whether we’re playing in the park, curling up on the sofa at home, or using the soft, light-filled space in my Churchdown studio, I aim to create an atmosphere where everyone — especially little ones — can be themselves. My approach is child-led and relaxed: plenty of breaks, gentle direction, and a sense of play so the photos feel natural rather than forced. My sessions are designed for how families actually live. I capture toddlers mid-giggle, siblings sharing secret smiles, the quiet moments of a new baby being held close — images you’ll want to print, frame and hand down. I’ll help with planning and prep (what to wear, where to shoot and small details that make a big difference), and I send a friendly prep guide so you arrive feeling prepared and calm. How I work: after you enquire we’ll have a quick chat — or a Zoom if you prefer — to understand what matters most to you. On session day I keep things relaxed and unhurried: slow starts, snack breaks, and time for real life. After the shoot I carefully edit your gallery with a soft, timeless style that complements the natural tones and emotions of the images. Based in Gloucester and easily accessible from Cheltenham and the surrounding areas, I offer studio and on-location family photography across the region. If you’d like ongoing seasonal updates, ask about The Keepsake Club — a membership option that makes regular photos stress-free and affordable. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Gloucester who prioritises warmth, honesty and the beautifully chaotic realness of family life, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s capture the moments you’ll treasure forever.
