Feather and moss Photography in Hindley specialises in family photography—creating magical, natural portraits of children, newborns and generations. Relaxed studio and outdoor sessions.
Feather and moss Photography is a dedicated family photography studio based in Hindley (serving Wigan and Greater Manchester). Led by Magda (Magdalena Kolakowska), a mother and award-winning portrait photographer, the practice specialises in creating unique, magical family portraits you will treasure forever. Magda’s work is rooted in storytelling — she loves "creating magical worlds," capturing laughter, quiet connections and the small, irreplaceable details that become family heirlooms. Why choose Feather and moss for your family photoshoot? Magda brings a warm, calm presence and a practiced eye for natural light, composition and emotion. Her approach is gentle and relaxed, designed to help even camera‑shy children and busy parents feel at ease. Whether you prefer the intimacy of the studio in the Wigan area or the soft, natural backdrops of an outdoor session around Manchester, Feather and moss focuses on real moments: kids’ smiles, newborn snuggles, parent-child bonds and multi-generation portraits that tell your family’s story. How the process works: every session begins with a friendly consultation so Magda understands what matters to you — favourite colours, precious props or ideas you’d like included. On the day she creates a comfortable atmosphere where babies, children and grown-ups can relax; parents are guided through poses and natural interactions rather than forced smiles. Sessions are carefully edited and presented at a viewing appointment where you choose the final images and the keepsakes that suit your home and family. Feather and moss specialises in family portraiture while also welcoming related family-focused sessions such as newborn and children photography, milestone moments and celebratory portraits. The studio’s signature is artistic, timeless imagery with thoughtful wardrobe and styling advice to ensure each portrait becomes a cherished piece of your home. If you’re in Hindley, Wigan or the surrounding area and want family photographs that feel genuine, beautiful and a little bit magical, get in touch. Magda treats each family with care and attention — her aim is simple: to create the most beautiful portraits you have ever had and memories you’ll keep forever.
