Arc Studios Photography in Lichfield specialises in family photography. Vivienne Bailey creates natural, relaxed family and children portraits—studio or on-location—to capture genuine connection.
Arc Studios Photography is a family photography specialist based in Lichfield, led by Vivienne Bailey, who has been creating natural, heartfelt images since 2006. Centreing family photography as a core focus, Arc Studios blends documentary warmth with considered portraiture to create photographs that feel lived-in and timeless. Vivienne’s background working for the press and with PR clients gives her an instinct for capturing authentic moments as they happen—while also delivering polished, professional family portraits when required. Why choose Arc Studios for your family photoshoot? The studio is built around making families feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Vivienne has a gentle, conversational approach that helps children relax and invites parents to be themselves, so the images reflect real relationships rather than stiff poses. Whether you prefer the controlled simplicity of the Lichfield studio or the relaxed energy of an on-location session, Arc Studios focuses on natural expressions, candid interaction and the quiet details that matter — tiny hands, laughing eyes, the way siblings lean on each other. Arc Studios specialises in family and children photography while also offering complementary portrait and maternity expertise. This means you benefit from a photographer used to working with all ages, from newborns and babies to toddlers and school-age children, and who understands how to manage sessions smoothly and sensitively. The result is a collection of photographs you’ll cherish: honest family portraits, playful children’s images, and elegant group shots that suit both everyday keepsakes and framed displays. Working with Arc Studios is collaborative and personal. Vivienne spends time understanding what matters to your family—your preferred style, favourite locations, and how to make the session enjoyable for everyone. The focus is always on creating a relaxed atmosphere where genuine connection can shine through. Based in Lichfield, Arc Studios serves local families across the West Midlands and beyond, bringing experience, patience and a clearly defined photographic voice to every family photoshoot.
