Laura Parkinson is a specialist family photographer based in Lisburn, serving families across GB. With a warm, friendly approach and an eye for natural light and honest moments, Laura focuses on creating family portraits that feel like you — not stiff or overly posed. Her work is rooted in a belief that the best images come from comfortable, relaxed sessions where laughter and small, real interactions are welcomed. Why choose Laura? Her experience and gentle manner put even camera-shy children and new parents at ease. Laura describes her sessions as friendly and welcoming portrait photo sessions: she guides families with simple prompts, lets children be themselves, and looks for the spontaneous connections that make each family unique. The result is a collection of images that tell your family’s story — playful, tender, and timeless. What makes her approach special is the blend of documentary sensibility with thoughtful composition. Rather than forcing poses, Laura prefers to observe and nudge, capturing candid smiles, gentle glances and the quiet details that often go unnoticed. Whether you’re bringing toddlers, babies or older children, she adapts her pace and direction to suit your family’s rhythm, creating a calm atmosphere where natural moments can unfold. How Laura works: sessions are relaxed and collaborative. Prior to your shoot she’ll discuss locations, timings and what to expect so everyone can relax on the day. During the session she focuses on connection over perfection — guiding simple interactions, offering gentle encouragement, and using light and composition to craft beautiful family portraits. Afterward you receive a thoughtfully edited selection of images that reflect the warmth and personality of your family. Although family photography is Laura’s core speciality, she also offers portrait and maternity work as additional services. Above all, Laura’s passion is capturing the real, everyday moments that matter — helping families preserve memories with images they’ll cherish for years to come. If you want natural, heartfelt family photographs captured by a Lisburn-based specialist, Laura Parkinson provides a calm, professional and deeply personal experience.
