Based in Horwich, Marge Bradshaw is a family photography specialist who captures natural, relaxed portraits and documentary moments—newborns, children and family milestones.
I’m Marge Bradshaw, a family photographer based in Horwich who specialises in creating natural, honest family photography that feels like you. My work focuses on real moments—laughs, quiet embraces, the small everyday details that add up to a family’s story. If you want images that are more than posed portraits, I offer relaxed, documentary-led sessions that leave you with photographs you’ll reach for again and again. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I position myself as a family specialist: from newborn and baby sessions to children’s photography and milestone events such as baptisms, communions and birthdays, I know how to work sensitively with families of all ages. I aim to capture personality and connection rather than contrived poses, so your gallery feels authentic to who you are and how you live. My approach is calm and patient. Sessions are designed around what suits your family—whether that means a cosy at-home shoot where babies and toddlers can settle, or an outdoor session in and around Horwich that uses natural light to create warm, timeless images. I work quietly and observantly to catch the gestures and interactions that matter: the way siblings play, the tenderness of a new parent, the confident grin of a child discovering the camera. Working with children and newborns requires trust and experience; I build a relaxed atmosphere so even the most camera-shy family members feel comfortable. I guide gently when needed, but I prefer to let authentic moments arise. The result is a collection of images that tell your family’s story—perfect for prints, albums or keepsakes. While family photography is my core focus, I also sometimes collaborate on portrait, event and documentary projects and run occasional workshops. However, my primary passion remains family work: helping Horwich and the wider GB community preserve their memories through thoughtful, well-composed photography. If you’re looking for a specialist in family photography who prioritises connection, atmosphere and honest storytelling, I’d love to talk about your shoot and how we can create images that feel truly yours.
