Emma Hook Photography

I’m Emma — a family photographer based in Hook, GB, who loves to tell the story of family life with a fresh, personal touch. My work centres on creating natural, meaningful portraits that celebrate connection, tenderness and the little in-between moments that make your family unique. I specialise in family photography and regularly photograph babies and children as part of those sessions, always with a gentle, patient approach that keeps everyone relaxed and present. My style is a contemporary fine‑art documentary; I aim to combine the considered beauty of fine-art portraiture with the honesty of documentary storytelling. Trained with a First Class BA (Hons) in Photography, I bring the discipline of working with film to my modern digital practice — this translates into considered compositions, attention to light and tone, and images that feel both timeless and true to life. Working with me is deliberately simple and personal. I tailor every session to the family in front of me — whether that means photographing you at home, in your garden, or at a favourite local outdoor spot. I create an easy, playful atmosphere so children can be themselves and parents can relax. My positive, humorous outlook helps even the most camera-shy family members find their moments, and I look for the gestures, in-jokes and expressions that will continue to resonate for years to come. Why choose me? Because I see families as stories to be cherished. I take the time to get to know you, to understand how you live and what matters, and to capture images that work beautifully in your home. The result is a collection of portraits with feeling — images that feel authentic, warm and ready to share with the people who matter most. Based in Hook, I also work across London and Surrey, bringing calm energy and thoughtful composition to every shoot. If you want family photographs that feel honest, artistic and lovingly made, I’d love to hear about your family and create photographs you’ll return to again and again.
