Hello — I’m David, the photographer behind John William Photography. As a specialist in family photography based in Telford, I focus on capturing authentic, joyful family moments with patience, humour and a relaxed approach. With over ten years’ experience and professional training under award-winning photographer Philip Dunn, I’ve developed a style that puts families at ease and turns ordinary moments into lasting portraits. My priority is delivering a friendly, fun and personal experience. Being a Shropshire dad myself, I understand how to work with children and siblings: how to keep sessions light, encouraging and flexible so you get genuine smiles and natural interactions rather than stiff poses. Whether it’s a short studio session, a longer family shoot, a sibling session or one of our seasonal family setups, I create an atmosphere where everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — can enjoy the moment. I shoot in my Telford studio and on location across the UK, tailoring each session to your family’s character. I use a mix of relaxed direction and candid documentary moments to build a gallery that feels like you. My studio shoots make use of thoughtfully chosen backdrops and props when appropriate, while location shoots lean into natural light and real-life settings to produce timeless family portraits. Working with me is collaborative and straightforward. Before your session we’ll discuss what you want to achieve, any special dynamics to consider, and the look you prefer. On the day I handle the technical details so you can focus on being together. After the shoot I carefully edit your images to highlight mood and connection, delivering polished photos you’ll be proud to display. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Telford who specialises in relaxed, authentic family and children portraits, I’d love to talk. John William Photography combines professional training, practical experience on sets and a genuine love for family life to deliver images that feel natural, warm and unmistakably yours.
