Cherished Memories Photography is your Leyland specialist for family photography — led by award-winning photographer Amy Newton. With a warm, upbeat approach and more than a decade of experience, Amy focuses on capturing honest, in-the-moment family portraits that feel natural, fun and uniquely you. Why choose Cherished Memories for your family photoshoot? Amy’s style is relaxed and documentary-led: she looks for the small, real moments — the laughter, the cuddles, the little hands — that tell your family’s story. Whether you prefer the cosy homely feel of her studio, the comfort of your own home, or the character of a favourite outdoor spot, Amy designs each session to suit your personalities and the way you love to be together. What makes her approach special is a friendly, personal process. Amy offers a free consultation before your session to discuss ideas, favourite locations and any special shots you want. She brings thoughtful prop choices, playful prompts for children, and experience handling newborns and babies gently and safely. Pets and multi-generational groups are welcome too — Amy understands how to include every family member so the final images feel complete and natural. The experience is collaborative and relaxed. Amy encourages creativity and will include your ideas, but she also knows how to put even camera-shy children and adults at ease with a conversational, fun direction. Her background (BA Hons Photography and studio ownership) and award recognition mean your family receives professional care and beautifully edited images that will sit proudly on your wall for years to come. From newborn snuggles and maternity bump portraits to cake-smash first birthdays and playful children’s sessions, Cherished Memories specialises in the family moments that matter. Amy’s real-life galleries demonstrate her knack for unposed emotion and timeless family portraits. If you’re in Leyland, Lancashire or nearby and want a family photoshoot that feels genuine, warm and memorable, Amy would love to chat. Your session will be tailored to your family, with a friendly, professional experience designed to capture the real personality and love you share.
