Laura Hirons Photography

Laura Hirons Photography is a Guildford-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to capturing the real, unscripted moments that make your family unique. Laura’s approach is warm, calm and unobtrusive — she works to create a relaxed atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can enjoy being present. The result is natural, emotive images that feel like your family, not a staged photoshoot. With a focus on family and children, Laura blends documentary-style storytelling with gentle portraiture. Whether you prefer the intimacy of a studio family shoot, the seasonal magic of bluebell and outdoor sessions, or the cosy warmth of lifestyle images at home, she adapts her style to the personalities in front of the lens. Newborn and baby sessions are handled with particular care: patience, safety and a soothing pace are central so little ones (and parents) feel comfortable throughout. Clients choose Laura because she prioritises connection over perfection. Rather than forcing smiles, she creates playful prompts and relaxed moments that bring out authentic reactions. Her experience photographing families of all ages helps her read the room and guide sessions in a way that keeps energy positive and children engaged. This makes sessions smoother and delivers portraits that families cherish for years. Working with Laura is simple and friendly. She spends time understanding what matters most to you — favourite spots, meaningful props, or the mood you want to capture — then tailors each shoot to reflect that. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried; Laura lets interactions unfold naturally while gently directing when needed to frame beautiful, honest images. After the shoot you’ll receive a curated selection of final photographs that highlight the story of your family. Based in Guildford, Laura Hirons Photography blends technical skill with a genuine love for family life. If you want timeless, emotive family portraits — from newborns and babies to playful children and multi-generation gatherings — Laura offers a reassuring, expert hand and a friendly, relaxed experience.
