Bani Culshaw is a family photography specialist based in Hanworth, creating relaxed, classic portraits that reveal each family's personality. Studio and nearby location shoots focused on real moments.
Bani Culshaw is a specialist in family photography based in Hanworth, devoted to creating classic, storytelling portraits that families treasure for generations. Her work is rooted in a simple belief: the best family photographs come from relaxed, honest moments rather than stiff poses. Whether in her warm studio near Bushy Park or at a nearby outdoor location, Bani’s aim is to capture the real character and relationships that make your family unique. Why choose Bani? Her approach is personal and reassuring. She brings years of experience photographing babies, children and families and combines technical skill with a gentle, friendly manner that helps everyone feel at ease. Parents consistently praise her ability to get the best from camera‑shy children, and to create an atmosphere where laughter and natural connection replace pressure and performance. This is classic portraiture with a light, modern touch — images that look timeless but feel alive. What makes her approach special is the blend of care and creativity. Bani’s sessions focus on connection: candid interactions, small gestures and those fleeting expressions that reveal true personality. She values safety and comfort above all, and is comfortable including multiple generations in a shoot so grandparents, siblings and family pets can be part of the story. Her studio is stocked with tasteful backdrops and a selection of wardrobe options, and she’s equally happy to guide a relaxed outdoor session in the local parks when families prefer a natural setting. How she works with clients is collaborative and straightforward. From the first conversation Bani listens to what matters most to you — whether you want formal portraits for the mantelpiece or a relaxed lifestyle gallery for your walls. She creates a calm pace during the shoot so children can be themselves, and afterwards presents your images in a private online gallery where you can view and select favourites. Bani takes pride in clear communication, thoughtful editing and delivering photographs that reflect the warmth and personality of your family. Above all, Bani Culshaw loves helping families preserve their memories. If you want a family photoshoot led by someone who values safety, warmth, and timeless storytelling, Bani offers a specialist, caring service in Hanworth and the surrounding area.
