Friendly Godalming family photoshoots that feel like hanging out with a friend. Hannah captures playful kids, tender newborn moments and genuine family connection with relaxed, documentary style.
I’m Hannah — a people photographer based near Godalming, Surrey, and I specialise in family photoshoots that celebrate the messy, the joyful and the utterly real. My work is all about real love & connection, proper giggles & authentic joy. Whether we’re exploring your favourite woodland, having fun at a local green or slowing time down at home with a newborn, I aim to give you photographs that take you straight back to those moments. Why choose me? I want your family session to feel like hanging out with a friend. My approach is relaxed, warm and gently directed — I’ll offer playful prompts to coax out natural reactions and quiet patience when you need it. Clients often say I have a knack for finding special connections (some have even called my approach ‘Mary Poppins’), and I make it my job to capture those little glances, belly laughs and the day-to-day chaos that makes your family unique. How I work: we start with a friendly pre-shoot chat so I understand what matters most to you — favourite locations, children’s routines, and the look and feel you love. On the day I create a calm, fun atmosphere: we mix candid documentary moments with short, guided portraits so everyone (even the camera-shy) comes away smiling. For newborn and baby sessions I offer sensitive, at-home shoots that focus on tiny details — the tuft of hair, the tiny toes, and those sleepy cuddles. My sessions are designed to be timeless and true-to-life. I favour natural light, honest colour and a documentary-led style that lets your family’s personality shine through. You’ll receive a thoughtfully edited gallery of images you can share, print and treasure. I’ve been photographing families across Surrey for years and love nothing more than helping people preserve the ordinary, unforgettable moments of family life. If you want relaxed, joyful family portraits in Godalming and the surrounding area, let’s chat — I’m excited to meet your bunch and create images that make your heart happy.
