Ian Robinson Photography

Ian Robinson Photography is a family photography specialist based in Irlam, proudly serving families across the North West. With over 25 years’ experience creating family portraits to cherish, Ian’s work is rooted in a simple belief: the best images come from relaxed people in a calm, welcoming environment. Why choose Ian Robinson Photography? Families return because Ian understands the delicate mix of patience, timing and gentle direction needed to capture real moments. Whether you’re booking a newborn session to record those first sleepy days, a playful children’s shoot, a multi‑generational family portrait or a special occasion such as a baptism, communion or birthday, Ian brings a practiced eye for composition and light that produces clean, timeless images. What makes the approach special? The studio ethos is warm, unhurried and informal. Sessions are designed around your family’s pace – we allow plenty of time for babies and small children to settle, and we guide rather than stage, so expressions feel natural. Ian often works with soft, flattering light and subtle backgrounds to ensure the focus stays on the connection between people. Presentation matters too: finished prints and wall layouts are tastefully composed so your images sit beautifully in the home. How Ian works with you: From first contact to viewing, the process is friendly and straightforward. We’ll plan the session to suit your needs—studio or at-home shoots are both available, depending on what suits your family. Bring a couple of outfit changes, a treasured prop or a favourite toy; Ian will help with simple styling suggestions and will gently direct to get the best from every family member. Viewing and selection are relaxed: we present options and collaborate with you to choose final images and display formats that feel right. Ian’s passion for family photography is personal. He loves the privilege of documenting family stories — the new parents’ quiet moments, the cheeky grin of a toddler, the dignified pride of grandparents. That joy and respect for family life is evident in every session. If you’re looking for a specialist family photographer in Irlam who values patience, authenticity and careful presentation, Ian Robinson Photography offers a considered, friendly service that turns moments into lasting family heirlooms.
