Studio 101 Photography is Lincoln’s family photography specialist. We create relaxed, high‑quality family portraits, children and newborn sessions in our well-equipped Bracebridge Heath studio.
Studio 101 Photography is a family‑run studio based in Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln, and we specialise in family photography. As a dedicated family photography studio our focus is on creating authentic, lasting portraits that reflect real relationships — not just posed pictures. Darren, the founder, brings a precision mindset from his engineering background and combines it with a clear passion and obsession for image-making, meaning every shoot benefits from both technical excellence and warm, human-led direction. Why choose Studio 101 for your family photoshoot? We prioritise a relaxed, friendly atmosphere so parents and children feel at ease. Our studio is fitted with a full ceiling pantograph system, multiple backdrops and professional lighting that allow us to work in both Hi‑Key and Low‑Key styles. That flexibility means we can create classic, contemporary or dramatic family portraits tailored to your taste. We also have an adjacent floor area for larger groups or creative projects, and we offer studio hire if you prefer to bring your own ideas to the space. Our approach is collaborative and customer‑oriented. Before your session we take the time to discuss what you want to achieve, offering guidance on outfits, props and poses. On the day, we work at your family’s pace — keeping children engaged with a patient, playful style so we capture natural smiles and genuine connections. After the shoot we review images together and help you choose the portraits that will become treasured keepsakes. Although family portraiture is our core expertise, we also support related family moments such as newborn and children sessions, maternity add‑ons, and pet portraits when families want to include every member. We can work primarily in studio, or bring studio-quality lighting and backdrops to on‑location shoots when required. Studio 101 also collaborates with trusted professionals and can coordinate wider photographic or videographic needs if your project calls for it. Based in Lincoln and serving families across the region, Studio 101 Photography combines high standards, technical know‑how and a genuinely warm approach to deliver family portraits you’ll be proud to display. Book a consultation with Darren to discuss your vision and let us help you preserve those moments that matter most.
