Specialist family photographer in Lofthouse. Franklin Acosta creates relaxed, natural family photoshoots—from newborns and children to baptisms and birthday portraits—focused on authentic moments and lasting portraits.
I’m Franklin J. Acosta, the family photographer behind FJA Photography based in Lofthouse. Family photography is my core focus — I specialise in creating calm, joyful sessions that celebrate real connections between parents, children and extended family. Whether you’re booking a newborn shoot, a children’s portrait session, a baptism or communion, or a family birthday photoshoot, my goal is the same: to capture natural, heartfelt moments that become keepsakes. Why choose FJA Photography in Lofthouse? Over the years I’ve developed a warm, personal approach that helps even the most camera-shy family members relax. I blend a documentary eye for candid interaction with sure-handed portrait techniques so you get both spontaneous smiles and composed portraits. My style leans toward natural light, simple compositions and authentic expression — photographs that feel like you when you look back on them. How I work with families: every session starts with a conversation. We discuss your vision, the ages and needs of the children, any cultural or religious traditions for baptisms or communions, and practical details that make the day flow smoothly. On the shoot I keep the atmosphere light and unhurried — prompting gently, encouraging play and interaction, and looking for those quiet, honest moments that tell your family’s story. After the session I carefully edit each image to enhance colour and tone while preserving the genuine feel of the moment. Finished photographs are delivered through a private online gallery for easy viewing and sharing. My passion for family photography comes from a belief that ordinary days are worth remembering. Small rituals — a sleepy newborn yawn, a child’s unguarded laugh, a parent’s tender look — are the details I hunt for. Serving families across GB from my base in Lofthouse, I aim to make every session enjoyable, personal and true to your family. If you’re planning a family photoshoot — newborn, baby, children, baptism, communion or birthday portraits — I’d love to hear about your plans and help you preserve these moments. I also offer complementary services such as maternity and event coverage and can incorporate simple video highlights when requested, but my primary dedication is to family photography: capturing memories you’ll treasure for generations.
