Portraits In The Sand

Portraits In The Sand is centred on one clear passion: creating family portraits that become family heirlooms. Based in Lewes, David Koster brings decades of professional training — including Master and Certified Professional Photographer credentials — to every family photoshoot. That expertise translates into relaxed, authentic images of the real connections between parents, children and extended family. Why choose Portraits In The Sand for your family photoshoot in Lewes? David’s approach pairs technical mastery with a gentle, family-first manner. He understands family dynamics and knows how to put even camera-shy children at ease, turning moments of play, laughter and quiet togetherness into composed, timeless photographs. David is also accredited by Hearts & Lens for working sensitively with families and children with special needs, so every session is inclusive and compassionate. Specialisation and style: Family photography is our core. We concentrate on newborns, babies, children and milestone sessions — baptisms, communions and birthdays — creating a cohesive collection of portraits that reflect your family’s personality. Our style favours natural light, authentic expressions and clean, enduring composition so portraits feel both contemporary and classic. How we work with you: Sessions are collaborative and calm. David advises on locations around Lewes — from sheltered seafronts to quiet countryside settings — and helps with wardrobe and posing to ensure flattering, comfortable results. Families are invited back to our studio gallery the next day to preview images on a large screen and make selections together, with David’s guidance on display and framing. Our digital artistry options allow subtle retouching and finishing while preserving the natural look you love. Pets and extended family are welcome — we know they’re part of what makes your family unique and love including them in portraits. The Koster Family Guarantee supports your investment with lasting product assurance and a commitment to your satisfaction. If you’re looking for a Lewes family photographer who combines award-winning skill, patience and a family-centred philosophy, Portraits In The Sand is ready to help you capture the present so it can be cherished for generations.
