Caroline Horne Suffolk Photography is a specialist family photographer based in Ipswich, offering relaxed, documentary-style family and children photography throughout Suffolk and the surrounding countryside. Trained in film and classically schooled in design, Caroline combines a fine-art sensibility with a warm, modern approach—producing images that feel both luxurious and perfectly natural. Why choose Caroline? Her sessions are rooted in storytelling: she looks for those small, genuine moments—children exploring, laughter shared, quiet embraces—that sum up family life. Caroline’s experience shooting outdoors and her love of the Suffolk coast mean she knows how to find beautiful light and locations that enhance your family’s personality. Her work has been featured in national and local publications, and she brings that editorial eye to every shoot, while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun. How the session works: Family and lifestyle shoots typically run for around two hours, giving plenty of time for exploring favourite locations—whether that’s the beach, a riverbank or countryside spots like Thorpeness, Dedham, Snape and Pin Mill. Pets are welcome, and extended family sessions are a speciality. Caroline keeps things informal and friendly, helping even camera-shy children feel at ease so you get authentic, timeless portraits rather than forced poses. After the shoot you’ll receive a USB presentation package and a password-protected online gallery, making it easy to view, share and choose your favourite images. Caroline is professional and responsive—she aims to reply quickly to enquiries and will guide you through planning the shoot, from outfit ideas to the best time of day for light. While family photography is Caroline’s core expertise, she also applies her styling and commercial experience where relevant to create images that are beautiful and usable for keepsakes and display. If you want documentary-led family portraits with an artistic, natural feel and a photographer who loves the outdoors and Suffolk coastline, Caroline Horne is a specialist who will capture the real story of your family.
