Far Forest Studio

I’m Mark Roberts, owner and photographer at Far Forest Studio, and I specialise in family photography in Kidderminster. My work is driven by a search for genuine emotion and a fine‑art portrait sensibility — I aim to produce images that feel honest, timeless and distinctly individual. Trained in observational photography during my time with HM Forces and inspired by years of portrait and wildlife practice, I bring a calm, considered approach to working with families of all ages. What sets Far Forest Studio apart is the combination of a purpose‑built, comfortable studio and 2.1 acres of private woodland and gardens. Whether you want soft, controlled lighting indoors or the changing drama of woodland moods and seasonal bluebells, we can craft a session that suits your family. I favour relaxed sessions that let children be themselves — playful moments, quiet connections and spontaneous expressions often become the images families cherish most. Sessions are tailored to your needs: newborn and baby shoots are handled with patience and care; children’s portraits are guided with gentle prompts and games; whole‑family portraits are composed to show real relationships rather than stiff poses. I’m hands‑on throughout: from wardrobe and prop ideas to lighting and posing, I work with you to create a comfortable atmosphere. The studio is equipped with a dedicated makeup mirror, shower and changing facilities so everyone is looked after on the day. My process begins with a simple conversation to understand what you want from the shoot — style, locations and any special details. On the day I move at your family’s pace, offering direction where needed and stepping back when moments present themselves naturally. Many clients appreciate that we can use indoor and outdoor spaces in one visit, making the most of both controlled and natural light. Far Forest Studio is about more than pictures; it’s about making the session enjoyable and memorable. If you value emotive, well‑crafted family portraiture in a secluded Wyre Forest setting, I’d love to discuss how we can create images that your family will treasure for years to come. Pop by for a pre‑booking visit and a cuppa — I’m always happy to show you the studio and grounds.
