Award‑winning family photographer Karen McGowran captures relaxed, authentic family portraits in Gosforth. Comfortable studio sessions and nearby urban backdrops for children and families.
Hi — I’m Karen, owner and photographer at Tiny Baby Studio. As a multi‑award‑winning family photographer with over ten years’ experience, I specialise in creating relaxed, honest family portraits you’ll treasure. Based in Gosforth with a welcoming studio at St Peter’s Basin, I blend the cosiness of an indoor session with the character of the fantastic urban backdrops right on our doorstep to craft images that feel personal and timeless. Why choose Tiny Baby Studio for your family photoshoot? My work is rooted in creating a calm, friendly atmosphere where everyone — from newborns to grandparents — feels at ease. I love including parents and siblings in sessions; those small, unscripted moments between family members are often the most meaningful. My studio is comfortable and family‑friendly, and I always tailor the session to your family’s needs and personalities so the photos reflect who you really are. What makes my approach special is the combination of technical experience and a gentle, people‑centred way of working. I’m fully trained in newborn safety and bring that same careful, attentive approach to all family sessions. Whether we’re creating posed portraits, candid playtime images, or a mix of studio and outdoor shots, you’ll find the pace relaxed and unhurried — designed to get the best from even the most camera‑shy little ones. How we work together: booking is simple and friendly. Before your session we’ll chat about outfits, locations and what moments you most want to capture. On the day I’ll guide you through poses and prompts that feel natural, and I encourage plenty of family interaction so the images feel true to your relationships. After the shoot you’ll receive beautifully edited images, chosen and refined to give you a cohesive collection that looks great on your walls and in albums. I’m passionate about documenting family life — the laughter, the tiny details, the everyday love that becomes your family story. If you’re looking for a family photoshoot in Gosforth or Newcastle that’s professional, warm and tailored to you, I’d love to meet you and your family at Tiny Baby Studio.
