Hibbard Photography Studio

Hibbard Photography Studio is a family‑first photography specialist based in Moot House, Harlow. Led by Louise — an award‑winning photographer and mother of two — the studio focuses on capturing authentic, unforced moments that tell the story of your family. If you want photographs that feel like memories remembered, not staged snapshots, Louise’s gentle, observational style is designed for you. Why choose Hibbard Photography Studio? Louise understands family life from the inside. Her parenting experience shapes a patient, baby‑led approach for newborns and toddlers, and a playful, relaxed atmosphere for older children. Whether it’s a newborn’s tiny details, siblings discovering giggles together, or a grandparents’ embrace, Louise looks for the small gestures and spontaneous expressions that reveal real connection. What makes the approach special is its simplicity: candid, emotive imagery with minimal fuss. Sessions take place either in‑studio at Moot House or at a favourite outdoor location in and around Harlow, chosen to suit your family’s personality. Louise prefers to keep props and heavy posing to a minimum, instead guiding gentle interactions so families can be themselves. The result is natural portraits and documentary‑style moments that feel timeless. How Louise works with clients is warm and practical. From an initial, no‑pressure conversation to understand what matters to you, to a calm session tailored to your children’s pace, she aims to make the whole experience easy and enjoyable. She creates a safe, friendly environment where nervous toddlers relax and camera‑shy parents feel confident. The emphasis is always on storytelling — capturing milestones like newborn introductions, baptisms or first birthdays in a way that reflects your family’s character. Louise’s passion is rooted in preserving the little, fleeting moments that pass too quickly. She takes pride in creating images families return to again and again — images that hang on walls, fill albums and become part of your family’s story. If you’re looking for a specialist family photographer in Harlow who values honesty, patience and the art of the candid moment, Hibbard Photography Studio offers a thoughtful, personal approach to family portraiture.
