Wonderful Things Photography

Hi, I’m Charlie — a mummy to Jacob, Jesse & Daisy and a family photographer based in my cosy home studio in Hemel Hempstead. I specialise in family photography because I know how quickly moments slip by and how precious it is to have images that feel like you: warm, genuine and full of feeling. My work focuses on capturing the little interactions and true personalities that make your family unique. My approach is relaxed and calm. I’m not into stiff posing — I prefer to create an atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. That means gentle guidance, playful prompts and plenty of patience so children and grown-ups feel comfortable. Whether we’re creating a timeless family portrait or documenting simple, candid moments, I aim for images that look and feel authentic rather than over-directed. Working with families is about more than taking pictures; it’s about building trust. From our first chat to the moment you collect your photographs, I make the whole experience friendly and low-pressure. I love to hear your stories, understand what matters to you, and adapt sessions around your family’s rhythm. My studio is a relaxed, welcoming space in Hemel Hempstead where you can feel at ease — think cosy, personal and child-friendly. Why choose Wonderful Things Photography? Because I blend a personal, family-centred perspective with years of hands-on experience. As a parent myself, I know how to soothe a fidgety toddler, capture a fleeting look between siblings, and celebrate the everyday moments that become treasured memories. My images aim to reflect real connections: the laughter, the quiet embraces and the playful chaos that make family life beautiful. If you’re looking for a specialist in family photography in Hemel Hempstead who values authenticity, warmth and a calm studio experience, I’d love to meet you. Let’s create photos that you’ll come back to again and again — images that feel like home. Love Charlie x
