Edward Reeves Photography in Lewes specialises in family photoshoots — newborns, babies and children. Enjoy a relaxed portrait sitting in our restored Victorian studio with four generations' expertise.
Edward Reeves Photography is a specialist in family photography based in Lewes, combining four generations of experience with a contemporary, relaxed approach. A sitting with us is more than a quick snapshot — it’s an opportunity to create a family portrait that will be treasured for decades. Working from our fully-restored Victorian studio on Lewes High Street, we offer a calm, friendly environment tailored to babies, newborns, children and whole-family sittings. Why choose Edward Reeves for your family photoshoot? Our history matters: more than 160 years of continuous practice has taught us how to put people — especially children — at ease. Tom Reeves brings technical training and a lifetime of hands-on experience to every sitting, allowing him to judge light, pose and timing with confidence. That experience translates into images that feel natural, not forced: candid, warm moments alongside considered, classic portraits. Our approach is gentle and patient. Newborn and baby photography is handled with care and an unhurried pace so parents and little ones feel comfortable throughout. For children, we use a conversational, playful style to coax out genuine expressions rather than staged smiles. For family groups we balance relaxed, informal shots with more structured portraits, so you leave with a varied set of images that reflect your family’s personality. We work to your preferences — contemporary or classic — and tailor each session to the occasion: births, birthdays, baptisms, communions or simply to mark a moment in time. Sessions take place in our Lewes studio where the historic setting and professional lighting create a timeless backdrop; we also advise and guide on wardrobe, composition and keepsake options so your finished portrait is ready to display. At Edward Reeves we value good, old-fashioned service: clear communication, careful handling of children and prints that stand the test of time. Gift vouchers are available if you'd like to give the experience to someone close.
