Style Photography

Style Photography is a family‑first portrait studio based in Herne Bay, Kent, specialising in family photography for parents who want modern, authentic portraits that feel like them. With over two decades of experience, Doug & Sheila have shaped a gentle, people‑focused approach that helps even the most camera‑shy families relax and enjoy the session. That ease is what produces the natural expressions and meaningful connections you see in our work. Why choose us? We combine a contemporary visual style with a warm, family‑friendly studio environment. Our sessions are designed around your family — paced for little ones, flexible for feeds and breaks, and directed so you never feel awkward. We’re known for getting genuine smiles and interactions rather than stiff poses, and for presenting images in a cinema‑style viewing where you can see your portraits as they deserve to be seen. Our approach is collaborative and personal. Before your session we take time to understand what matters to you — whether it’s a relaxed set of candid images, a modern wall portrait, or capturing milestones from maternity to baby and beyond. On the day we guide posing and wardrobe gently, encourage playful moments, and create spaces where children show their true personalities. For newborns and babies we photograph in a calm Baby Lounge using safe, practiced handling and a selection of timeless props and textures. Post‑production is where the portraits become lasting art. Our careful retouching and expert finishing focus on tone, colour and clarity while keeping the real look and feel of your family. Many clients choose our bespoke wall art and luxury albums so the images live where family life happens — on the wall and in hands rather than trapped on a hard drive. We’re an award‑winning, independent studio proud to serve Herne Bay and families across Kent. Whether you’re booking a fresh family portrait, planning a maternity shoot, or capturing a child’s milestone, Style Photography offers a relaxed, creative experience led by people who love photographing family life. Get in touch to talk about your ideas — we’ll listen, plan with you, and help create portraits you’ll be proud to display for years to come.
