Heavitree family photographer Jess crafts relaxed, storytelling family and children portraits—from newborns to birthdays—creating natural, heirloom images that celebrate your family's connection.
I’m Jess, the photographer behind Perspectives Photography, based in Heavitree. With over 15 years’ experience photographing families and children, I specialise in family photography—capturing the small, unscripted moments that become the heart of a home. My work is rooted in storytelling: I aim to create precious, authentic heirlooms and artwork that you’ll be proud to pass down through future generations. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? Because I understand family life. I’m a mum too, and I know how quickly the little ones change and how often mums end up behind the camera instead of in it. My sessions are designed to be relaxed and natural, so you can be present with your children while I quietly record connection, laughter and the tiny gestures that reveal personality. Whether it’s a sleepy newborn, a curious toddler, a child blowing out candles on their birthday, or a family gathering after a baptism or communion, I approach each shoot with sensitivity and an eye for timeless composition. My approach is friendly and flexible. We start with a conversation to understand what matters to you — favourite locations, meaningful outfits, the relationships you want to highlight. Many sessions take place on location in places you love (the woods, your local park, or the comfort of your home), where the light and surroundings help tell your story. I work unobtrusively, encouraging natural interaction rather than stiff poses, so that the resulting images feel honest, warm and genuine. I care about the way photographs live in your home. The end goal is not just a gallery of images but pieces of artwork that celebrate who you are as a family. From newborn portraits to milestone children's sessions and family portraits that include all the generations, I specialise in creating imagery with soul and longevity. Serving Heavitree and surrounding areas in GB, Perspectives Photography is focused on recording family stories with care, artistry and attention to detail. Let me shine a light on your story and help you create the legacy of images your family deserves.
