Hannah Neech Photography

Hello — I’m Hannah. As a Hastings‑based, family‑focused photographer I specialise in creating modern, elegant and emotional family portraits that feel relaxed and true to your family. My style is natural and unobtrusive: I use gentle direction and a conversational approach so children (and grown‑ups) can be themselves, and the real moments — the smiles, the tiny interactions and the quiet connections — become the images you’ll treasure. I know how daunting a photoshoot can feel, which is why my sessions are deliberately calm and unhurried. I’m chatty and friendly, and I put families at ease from the moment you arrive. As a new mum myself I understand the practical needs of little ones; I use a baby‑led approach and allow time for feeds, changes and cuddles so every session is safe, comfortable and tailored to your child’s rhythm. I’m fully insured and trained in the safe handling and posing of babies, so you can relax knowing your family is in experienced hands. Sessions take place in my relaxed studio near Hastings or at nearby outdoor locations — from seasonal bluebell woods to a private summer meadow — chosen to suit the mood you want. Whether you’d like intimate indoor portraits, playful outdoor images of children exploring, or a combination of both, I work with natural light and timeless styling to produce photos that will sit beautifully on your wall for years to come. My approach blends gentle posing with documentary moments: I’ll guide you to comfortable poses, but I’m always watching for those candid seconds that tell your family’s story. I aim to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where laughter and real emotion lead the session. After the shoot I carefully edit your images to enhance tone and feeling while keeping them true to life. Families choose me because I care about safety, authenticity and connection. If you want relaxed, timeless family portraits from a photographer who understands children, newborns and family life in East Sussex, I’d love to meet you.
