She works quickly and sensitively to create an atmosphere where children laugh, partners relax and grandparents feel comfortable. The result is professional family portraits that look beautiful on the wall and treasured by future generations. What makes the approach special is attention to personality. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula, Claire tailors each session to your family’s rhythm — whether that means a short, lively shoot for energetic little ones or a softer, more reflective portrait for quieter family groups. Lighting, composition and subtle direction are used to highlight relationships and natural expressions, creating images that feel warm, timeless and true to who you are. How sessions work: Claire aims to make your time enjoyable and straightforward. Before your shoot she discusses your preferences and ideas so the session reflects your family’s style. On the day she creates a calm environment, guiding gentle interactions while remaining unobtrusive so moments unfold naturally. The process is designed to reduce stress and capture authentic moments rather than forced smiles. Claire’s motivation is simple — she loves documenting family life.
