Horsham-based family photographers capturing natural, playful family portraits. Twin sisters Jana & Stania create relaxed maternity, baby, children and pet sessions with a friendly, in‑home approach.
Simek Photography is a Horsham-based specialist in family photography, led by twin sisters Jana and Stania. Rooted in family life and two decades of childcare experience, their work focuses on capturing real moments—those small, unscripted gestures that tell your family’s story. If you want photographs that feel genuine rather than staged, Simek Photography positions itself as the go-to family photographer in Horsham and West Sussex. Why choose Simek Photography? Jana and Stania bring a warm, calm energy to every shoot. As proud mums themselves, they understand how to put children at ease, how to find the gentle moments between siblings, and how to celebrate expectant parents with sensitive maternity portraits. They’re equally comfortable photographing newborns at home, playful children outdoors, or including beloved pets in the session—always prioritising a relaxed, zero-pressure atmosphere. Their style leans toward lifestyle and documentary family portraiture: natural light, candid interaction, and simple compositions that emphasise connection. Sessions are guided but informal, designed to let personalities shine rather than force poses. This approach suits families who want authentic photos of everyday life—laughing together in the park, cuddles on the sofa, or quiet moments with a newborn. How they work: Simek Photography keeps the process friendly and straightforward. From an initial chat to understand your wishes, to planning a comfortable location (in‑home or on location around Horsham), the sisters tailor each shoot to your family’s rhythm. After the session you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can choose your favourites; every chosen image is hand-edited in their signature style (no presets), ensuring each photograph receives personal attention. Working with children and pets is a speciality—patience, play, and gentle direction create the best results. Whether it’s a maternity session celebrating a growing family, newborn lifestyle portraits at home, or a playful outdoor family photoshoot, Simek Photography focuses on making the experience enjoyable for everyone involved. Based in Horsham, they love photographing families across West Sussex and nearby areas. If you’re looking for a family photographer who values authenticity, connection, and a warm, professional approach, Jana and Stania at Simek Photography would love to hear your story and help you preserve it in beautiful, lasting images.
