Specialist family photographer in Horsham. Alex captures candid, natural family portraits, newborns and children across West Sussex with relaxed location or at-home shoots.
Alex (Alexander White) is a specialist family photographer based in Horsham, West Sussex, with nearly two decades of experience capturing real family life. His approach is rooted in candid, lifestyle photography that celebrates the small details — the giggles, the shy smiles, the arms wrapped around a child — and turns them into images you’ll treasure for years. Alex specialises in family photoshoots, newborn and baby sessions, children’s photography and milestone shoots such as baptisms, communions and birthday gatherings. Why choose Alex? He’s built long-term relationships with families across Horsham and the surrounding area because he makes sessions feel effortless and enjoyable. Whether you prefer the familiarity of your own home, the wide skies of the South Downs, a favourite local park or the seaside, Alex works on location to put your family at ease and capture natural moments rather than stiff, staged poses. His portable studio fits into small homes when the weather won’t cooperate, and for newborn sessions he offers house visits with extra time built in for feeds and nappy changes at no extra cost. What makes his approach special is a calm, patient manner and a focus on storytelling. Alex spends time getting to know children, learning what makes them laugh and then photographing them in their element — cheeky, curious and completely themselves. He blends into the background so that candid interactions are captured as they happen, while also setting gentle, unforced prompts for beautiful family portraits when you want them. How he works: after an initial conversation to understand your needs and favourite locations, Alex designs a relaxed photoshoot tailored to your family. Sessions are informal and child-friendly, with an emphasis on connection and comfort. Images are carefully edited and delivered as timeless digital photographs, with options for prints or albums if you’d like a keepsake to enjoy on the wall or shelf. If you’re in Horsham or elsewhere in West Sussex and want a family photographer who specialises in honest, heartfelt photography, get in touch with Alex. He’s passionate about preserving your family story — one beautiful image at a time.
