Kay Oliver is a specialist family photographer based in Long Eaton, offering a warm, personal approach to family photography that puts you at the heart of every image. With more than two decades of experience and a studio designed to feel like a home-from-home, Kay concentrates on creating simple, organic and timeless family portraits that celebrate real connection rather than contrived poses. Why choose Kay Oliver? Kay’s sessions are bespoke and relaxed — she takes time to get to know your family beforehand, discussing clothing, favourite colours and the kind of images you want to display at home. Her naturally lit studio uses a carefully crafted mix of continuous and natural light so photos look true to life, soft and enduring. Whether you’d like candid play, joyful group moments or classic posed portraits, Kay creates an atmosphere where children feel safe and adults can relax and be themselves. Specialisation and care: Family photography is a primary focus — Kay also specialises in maternity and works regularly with babies and young children, so she understands how to work with little ones and busy family dynamics. Safety, patience and a gentle manner are central to every session. Props, outfits and a small wardrobe of gowns are available in-studio so you can travel light and still have beautifully styled portraits. How she works: From the first enquiry Kay guides you through the process — a friendly pre-session chat, a relaxed studio or location shoot tailored to your needs, and a private viewing where you choose the images you love. Many clients return year after year to capture each stage: maternity, newborn, sitter sessions, first birthdays and family milestones. Kay loves creating wall art and keepsakes so your photographs become everyday things you can pass down through the generations. Based in Long Eaton and serving Nottinghamshire and surrounding areas, Kay’s photography is for families who want authentic, stylish portraits that reflect personality and emotion. If you’re looking for a family photoshoot that feels effortless, beautifully styled and deeply personal, Kay Oliver Photography is ready to help you capture the moments that matter.
