Claire Ansell Branding and Lifestyle Photography

Claire Ansell Branding and Lifestyle Photography is a Hanworth-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to capturing the honest, everyday moments that make your family unique. With a focus on Family Storytelling, Claire brings a warm, unobtrusive approach that helps even the most camera-shy children feel comfortable. Her work is rooted in lifestyle portraiture — natural light, relaxed direction and an eye for the small, emotional details that become your treasured family memories. Why choose Claire? Her practice combines the sensitivity of a storyteller with the visual discipline of a professional photographer. She listens to family rhythms and routines, adapts to children’s moods, and finds the calm in busy family life — turning ordinary interactions into evocative images. Whether it’s a newborn’s first days, playful sibling moments, or a quiet portrait of parents with their children, Claire focuses on authenticity over stiffness so your photographs reflect real connection. How she works: sessions begin with a simple conversation to understand what matters to you — favourite locations, key family dynamics, and any milestones you want to remember. On the day, Claire creates a relaxed atmosphere where laughter and gentle prompts replace forced posing. She mixes candid documentary-style frames with a few guided portraits to ensure a varied gallery you’ll love. Post-session, images are carefully edited to enhance natural tones and preserve the genuine emotion of each scene. Claire’s family photography covers newborn and baby portraits, children’s sessions, family portraits and milestone moments such as baptisms, communions and birthday gatherings. While she is known for family work, her background in branding and lifestyle photography means she brings a refined sense of composition and storytelling to every shoot — producing images that are both heartfelt and professionally finished. Based in Hanworth and serving families across the area, Claire Ansell creates relaxed, meaningful family photoshoots that stand the test of time. If you want portraits that feel like your life — honest, warm and uniquely yours — Claire’s family storytelling approach will give you photographs you’ll return to again and again.
