Miles of Smiles specialises in family photoshoots across Letchworth Garden City. Darren Miles creates relaxed studio or on-location family and child portraits, with bespoke fine‑art prints.
I’m Darren Miles, the photographer behind Miles of Smiles — a qualified, fully insured and award-winning portrait photographer serving Letchworth Garden City and the surrounding area. Family photography is at the heart of what I do. With a background in design and a lifelong passion for picture-making, I aim to create images that feel natural, honest and made to live in your home. My approach to a family photoshoot is relaxed and personal. Whether you prefer a studio-style session, an in-home lifestyle portrait or an outdoor location shoot, I work to put everyone at ease so real moments and genuine connections can be captured. I have particular experience working with children, and my sessions are paced to suit little ones — patient, playful and flexible so we get authentic expressions rather than forced smiles. For those who want something more than a gallery of images, I offer a fine-art child portrait experience printed on museum-quality Hahnemühle textured matt papers, double-mounted and framed to your brief. These one-off wall hangings are created to complement your decor and become timeless centrepieces in the home. Portraits can be shot in a controlled studio look or a more natural lifestyle setting, and I’m happy to discuss sizes, finishes and framing during a free, no-obligation consultation. I bring a designer’s eye to composition, light and colour, which helps produce clean, classic portraits that stand the test of time. My sessions are collaborative: before we shoot we’ll talk about wardrobe, locations and the look you want to achieve so the final images reflect your family’s personality. On the day I focus on making the atmosphere friendly and unhurried so everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — enjoys the experience. Based locally in Stotfold and working across Letchworth Garden City, I combine technical skill with a gentle, documentary sensibility to create family portraits you’ll treasure. If you’d like to discuss a family photoshoot or arrange a consultation, please get in touch and we’ll plan a session tailored to your family and your home.
