Specialist family photographer in Gosport, Nicola Muir creates relaxed, timeless family and children portraits in her cosy studio or at beautiful local locations. Friendly, natural approach.
I’m Nicola Muir and family photography is at the heart of everything I do. Based in Gosport, Hampshire, I specialise in creating warm, timeless family portraits that reflect real relationships — the giggles, the cuddles, the sloppy kisses and the small, honest moments that make your family unique. My aim is to help you feel completely at ease so the photographs feel effortless and true to who you are. My approach is relaxed and child-centred. Whether we’re in my bespoke, calming studio or exploring one of the beautiful local locations along the South Coast, sessions are led by your family’s rhythm. I love capturing authentic interactions — kids being kids, parents being present — rather than forcing stiff poses. I offer gentle posing guidance and lots of encouragement, but mostly I watch for the natural, unscripted moments that tell the story of your family. I also work regularly with maternity, newborn and baby portraiture, so I understand how to photograph families across every stage of early parenthood. From bump to first birthday, I bring a nurturing, patient manner (and plenty of baby-soothing wizardry) to every shoot. Newborn sessions at my studio are calm and unhurried, giving plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and set changes so your little one is comfortable while I create those soft, womb-like poses and close-up details. For families with military links, I’m proud to run bespoke Armed Forces Family Sessions that honour service and create treasured portraits to keep while you’re deployed. I welcome partners, siblings and multi-generation portraits and I’m used to working quickly and kindly with little ones so everyone enjoys the experience. Working with me means a friendly, professional experience from our first chat through to your viewing. I’ll take time to understand what matters to you, offer styling suggestions from my studio wardrobe if needed, and present your edited portraits in a calm, personal ordering appointment. My clients say they love the relaxed atmosphere, the natural results and the way their true family dynamic shines through. If you’re looking for professional family photos in Gosport that feel authentic and beautiful, I’d love to meet you and start planning a session that celebrates your family exactly as you are.
