Peter Thomas Photography

Peter Thomas Photography is a Belfast-based portraiture studio and a specialist in family photography. With more than a decade of experience and local awards recognising our work, we focus on creating relaxed, authentic family portraits that become treasured keepsakes for your home. We believe family photos are more than pictures — they are memories you live with every day. Why choose us? We combine a friendly, low‑pressure approach with strong technical craft. Our sessions are relaxed and fun so children (and adults) can be themselves; the result is natural, emotive images rather than stiff, posed snapshots. As an award-winning studio with a long history photographing families across Northern Ireland, we know how to capture personality, playful moments and the quiet connections that say so much about your family. What makes our approach special is the balance between candid storytelling and considered portraiture. We’ll have a chat before your session to understand what you want to remember — whether that’s newborn tenderness, a lively children’s portrait, or a full family group shot — and then work with you in the studio to create a variety of looks and moods. We gently guide poses, encourage interaction, and use simple styling and classic backdrops so the focus remains on the people in the frame. How we work: from your initial enquiry we make planning easy. On the day we provide a calm, welcoming studio environment where you can relax while we photograph natural moments and a few timeless posed images. After the shoot we carefully retouch your images to ensure everyone looks their best and invite you back to the studio to view the finished photographs. We specialise in framed products and wall art, helping you select pieces that suit your home and become a lasting legacy. Our family photography covers newborns, babies, children, baptisms, communions and birthday portraits, all created with the same attentive, personalised approach. Above all, we’re passionate about preserving the stories of your family — the crooked smiles, the small hands, the way you laugh together — and turning them into beautiful photographs you’ll return to again and again.
