Bash Creative Studio

As a dedicated family photography studio based in Ilkeston, Bash Creative Studio specialises in capturing the quiet, messy, joyful moments that make family life unique. Led by Basia Hudson, the studio focuses on creating exquisite, timeless family portraits that celebrate relationships across newborns, babies, children and milestone occasions—baptisms, communions and birthdays included. Our work is rooted in a belief that the best images come from relaxed sessions and real connections, not rigid posing. Why choose Bash Creative Studio for your family photoshoot? We bring a practiced eye for light, composition and candid emotion, combined with a warm, personal approach that puts everyone at ease. From the tiniest newborn curl to the exuberance of siblings at play, we aim to capture personality and feeling in every frame. Rather than forcing smiles, we create a calm, comfortable environment where natural interaction and authentic moments emerge—resulting in portraits that feel alive and lasting. How we work with families is simple and intentional. Every session begins with a short conversation about what matters most to you: treasured sibling interactions, a gentle newborn portrait, or a relaxed extended-family gathering. On the day, we guide and encourage rather than direct, helping even camera-shy family members relax. Our studio approach is patient and personable; we take the time to build rapport with little ones and create moments worth remembering. For milestone events we adapt our style to reflect the tone you want—joyful and playful, or calm and intimate. Our creative process doesn’t stop when the camera is put away. Each image is carefully edited to enhance its mood while preserving the authenticity of the moment. We pride ourselves on producing a selection of polished, artful family portraits that you’ll be proud to display and pass down. Based in Ilkeston and serving families across the area, Bash Creative Studio is committed to crafting family photography that feels honest, beautiful and personal. If you want family photos that tell your story—capturing personalities, connections and those small, unforgettable gestures—let’s create something timeless together.
