Child Whisperer Photography

If you want family portraits that feel honest, joyful and completely ‘you’, Child Whisperer Photography in Kirkby in Ashfield is built for that. I’m Serena — a former teacher and childcare provider with over 20 years’ experience working with children and families — and my work is all about capturing the small, true moments that become the heart of a home. Why choose me? Because I understand kids. My background means I know how to read moods, calm nerves and turn a potentially stressful photo session into something fun and natural. Whether it’s a cosy studio shoot, a playful ‘Rock the Boxes’ session, a colourful Family Faces headshot set, or an outdoor adventure, my sessions are child-led and relaxed so you get authentic expressions rather than stiff poses. My approach is personal from the very first conversation. We start with a friendly Discovery Call where we talk about your family, your style and how you’d like to see your portraits displayed. On the day I focus on atmosphere — games, music, snacks and gentle direction — so children (and pets) feel safe, curious and ready to be themselves. After the session you’ll return for a Design Consultation and Ordering appointment where I help you select and design the portrait art that suits your home and tells your family’s story. I specialise in creating heirloom-quality portrait art — wall displays, framed pieces and keepsakes that are made to be seen and loved every day. My sessions are ideal for families who want more than pretty pictures; they want images that warm the home and spark memories as children grow. Serving Kirkby in Ashfield and the surrounding Nottinghamshire area, I bring patience, imagination and a practical, professional eye to every shoot. If you’re ready to freeze a stage of your family’s life with portraits you’ll treasure, let’s have a chat and plan a session that feels effortless and full of life.
