Sugar Plum Photography

I’m Trudy, the face behind Sugar Plum Photography in Kingswinford, and family portraiture is my passion and speciality. I believe the best family photos are the ones that feel like you — relaxed, honest and alive with small, everyday moments. Whether we’re in my welcoming Kingswinford studio or exploring a favourite outdoor spot, my aim is to create timeless images you’ll love to display and hand down. My approach is gentle and personal. I guide families with calm direction but work to keep sessions playful and natural so children can be themselves. I listen to what matters most to you — the close-up giggles, the quiet sibling cuddle, or energetic, fun-filled portraits — and craft each session around those moments. Over the years I’ve developed a friendly, conversational style that helps even camera-shy children relax, so we capture authentic expressions rather than stiff, posed smiles. Clients choose Sugar Plum Photography because of the warm, family-focused experience as much as the images. I take pride in creating a calm atmosphere where babies, toddlers and adults all feel at ease. From planning a location that suits your family to choosing backdrops and colours that complement your home, I support you from enquiry to the finished portraits. This is about building a connection and telling your family’s story through flattering, natural imagery. While family work is at the heart of what I do, I also photograph maternity and baby moments that fit naturally into a family story. If you’d like studio portraits, outdoor family shots at a local favourite, or updated children’s portraits for a milestone, I’ll tailor the session to your needs with the same attentive, personal approach. If you’re based in Kingswinford or the wider West Midlands and want a family session that feels personal, relaxed and beautifully crafted, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s plan a session that captures the real things you’ll want to remember — the laughter, the tiny hands, and the connection that makes your family unique.
