Specialist family photographer in Guiseley — relaxed, natural lifestyle shoots for families, children and newborns. I focus on real moments and personalities to create heartfelt family portraits.
I’m Lynsey — a specialist family photographer based in Guiseley, West Yorkshire. My approach is rooted in relaxed, natural and documentary-style photography: I aim to blend into your family’s day so I can capture the unscripted smiles, tiny details and everyday connections that mean the most. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I love working with families of all shapes and sizes and have built my work around making sessions easy and enjoyable. Whether you want an outdoor lifestyle shoot, candid playtime with the kids, or an at-home newborn session, I focus on bringing out genuine personality rather than forcing stiff poses. I’m great with children (and I adore dogs), so families often tell me their little ones warm to me quickly and have fun during the shoot. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly chat — either by email, phone or a quick Zoom — to pick a location and plan the session. I usually choose quiet, pretty spots around Guiseley, Otley and nearby Yorkshire countryside where natural light and varied backdrops make for timeless images. On the day I keep things relaxed: gentle direction when needed, plenty of games and prompts to encourage real reactions, and a flexible pace so everyone feels comfortable. For newborns I can come to your home with all the kit needed to create calm, intimate portraits in familiar surroundings. The result is a curated collection of images that feel personal and relaxed — perfect for prints, wall art and heirloom albums. I design albums and wall art myself using high-quality materials, so your favourite images can be displayed or gifted in beautiful, lasting formats. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Guiseley who specialises in lifestyle family, children and newborn photography, I’d love to hear from you. I’m happy to travel across Yorkshire and will always take time to plan a session that reflects your family’s style and story. Let’s create images you’ll want to live with and look back on for years to come.
