Whitehall Studios

Whitehall Studios is a dedicated family photography studio based on Holywood Road in Belfast. As specialists in family and maternity photography, we focus on creating images that feel genuine, relaxed and full of life. Our aim is to capture the small, unscripted moments that make your family unique — the tiny fingers, the shared laughter, the quiet embraces — and present them as photographs you’ll return to for years. Our approach is quietly collaborative. We build a calm, welcoming atmosphere in the studio so children settle quickly and parents feel at ease. Rather than forcing poses, we use gentle direction and a conversational style to encourage natural interactions. This method works well for newborns, babies and young children, and it allows us to document milestone events like baptisms and family celebrations with an unobtrusive, warm touch. Whitehall Studios blends studio portraiture with a storytelling mindset. We use simple, classic lighting and clean backdrops to keep attention on expression and connection, while remaining flexible to incorporate personal props, heirlooms or meaningful outfits. Whether you’re after a timeless family portrait, a newborn session that preserves those first fragile days, or photos to mark a special birthday or communion, we craft images that feel honest and enduring. Working with us is straightforward and friendly. From initial enquiry to your final gallery, we guide you through each step—helping with outfit choices, posing ideas and calming tips for little ones—so the session feels effortless. You’ll receive professional, carefully edited images ready to share with family and display at home. Choosing Whitehall Studios means partnering with photographers who prioritise family connection and comfort. We bring experience, patience and a genuine love for photographing families in Belfast and the surrounding area. If you value natural, emotive family portraits made in a relaxed studio environment, Whitehall Studios offers a specialist experience tailored to your family’s story.
