Little Fox Photography is a Belfast-based specialist in family photography, led by Ricky Woodside. With three decades behind the lens and a background shooting people in fashion and editorial environments, Ricky has returned his focus to what matters most to him now: capturing families at ease. At Little Fox, every shoot is about real connection — relaxed portraits and candid moments that tell the story of your family. Why choose Little Fox for your family photoshoot? Ricky combines technical expertise with a warm, calming presence that quickly puts children and parents at their ease. His years photographing people worldwide mean he knows how to find flattering light, compose timeless portraits, and anticipate those natural, unposed interactions that become the images you treasure. Little Fox specialises in creating images with a soft, natural-light aesthetic that feels honest and enduring rather than trendy or over-styled. What makes the approach special is its focus on atmosphere and relationship. Sessions take place in Little Fox’s warm, friendly home studio in East Belfast, where props, blankets and a calm environment help children relax. Family photography here is about patience and play—Ricky works with your child’s rhythm, using gentle direction and prompts to encourage real smiles and spontaneous moments. Whether it’s formal group portraits, playful sibling interactions, baby milestones or relaxed multi-generational shots, the emphasis is always on authenticity and comfort. How Little Fox works with clients is personal and flexible. From the first enquiry, Ricky listens to your ideas and preferences and tailors the session to your family’s style. Shoots are unhurried; he creates a relaxed pace that allows for breaks, outfit changes and natural pauses so the whole family can settle. After the session, images are carefully edited to enhance mood and tone while preserving the genuine character of each moment. Ricky’s passion for family photography is rooted in a belief that photographs should feel as alive as the memories they represent. Based on Belmont Road in Belfast, Little Fox Photography specialises in family and children photography, and also photographs newborns and celebratory cake-smash sessions. If you want natural, emotive family portraits captured with technical skill and a gentle touch, Little Fox is focused on delivering images you’ll want to live with and pass down through generations.
