Specialist family photographer in North Watford. I create relaxed studio and on-location family photoshoots—clean white backdrops, vibrant custom sets or playful 'In The Box' sessions—to capture authentic family moments.
Hello — I’m Reena Pitney, the photographer behind Colours By Reena, based in North Watford. Family photography is my speciality and what I love most: documenting the small, ordinary moments that become treasured memories. Whether you choose a clean, timeless studio portrait against a crisp white backdrop, a playful funky background to match your personality, an inventive "In The Box" family artwork, or a relaxed on-location shoot in your favourite local spot, my aim is always the same — to capture genuine connection and character. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I work with families of all ages and dynamics and know how different each session can be. My approach is friendly, calm and hands-on: I talk with you before the session to understand what you want, guide children (and adults) with gentle direction, and keep the atmosphere light so natural smiles and interactions shine through. I draw on years of experience photographing children, babies and whole family groups to adapt quickly when the spontaneous moments appear — because often the best images are the unplanned ones. My studio in Watford offers classic, clean portraits as well as colourful, customisable backdrops for a more contemporary look. The "In The Box" sessions are a favourite for families who want something creative and different — a composite, multi-pose portrait that becomes a single artistic image. For newborns and very young babies I also offer comfortable home sessions, bringing a relaxed, safe environment to capture those early, fleeting days. I believe in collaborating closely with each family: from pre-shoot planning (location, outfits, children’s needs) to creating a relaxed session on the day and delivering images that you’ll proudly display at home. Based in North Watford, I welcome families across Watford, Hertfordshire and North London who are looking for a personable photographer who specialises in family work. If you want genuine portraits that reflect who you are, let’s plan a family photoshoot together — I’ll help make it simple, enjoyable and full of real moments.
