Nadine Priestley Photography is a dedicated family photography studio based in Hamilton, GB. Nadine specialises in creating warm, natural family portraits that celebrate real relationships and everyday moments. Her work focuses on children, babies and newborns as well as milestone occasions like baptisms, communions and birthday portraits — all captured with a calm, unobtrusive eye that lets personalities shine without forced poses. Why choose Nadine Priestley? Nadine’s approach centers on comfort and connection. She aims to build a relaxed atmosphere where parents and children feel safe to be themselves; the result is honest, tender images rather than stiff, staged shots. Her style blends gentle direction with documentary instincts, so you get a mix of beautifully composed portraits and spontaneous moments that tell the story of your family. What makes her approach special is the attention to detail and the respect for family dynamics. Nadine listens to what matters to you — whether it’s capturing a quiet newborn cuddle, a toddler’s lively expressions, siblings interacting, or the ritual and joy of a special occasion — and shapes the session around those priorities. She uses natural light and simple settings to keep the focus on emotion and connection, producing timeless images you’ll want to display and revisit. How she works: sessions begin with a friendly conversation to understand your needs and the personalities involved. On the day she encourages play, gentle prompts and short breaks so children stay comfortable and engaged. For newborn and baby sessions she prioritises safety and patience, allowing feeds and naps as needed. After the shoot Nadine carefully edits each image to enhance mood and colour while maintaining a natural, authentic look. Nadine’s work is driven by a love of family life and a belief that photographs should feel as true as the memories they preserve. While family photography is her core focus, she also occasionally takes on business and art projects — always bringing the same thoughtful, image-first approach. If you want family portraits from a considerate, experienced photographer in Hamilton who values connection and realism, Nadine Priestley offers an experienced, reassuring choice.
