Rosebuds Photography in Aberystwyth specialises in family portraits, newborn and children photography. Judy crafts bespoke, timeless images in a relaxed, luxury studio and outdoor locations.
If you want family portraits that feel personal, timeless and truly yours, Rosebuds Photography in Aberystwyth is the specialist to trust. Judy is a family photographer first and foremost — her practice centres on capturing the gentle connections, small gestures and candid moments that make each family unique. Working from Dainty Fern Studios at Newman’s Garden Centre, she brings a luxury, bespoke approach that combines fine-art styling with a relaxed, natural atmosphere. Why choose Rosebuds for your family photoshoot? Judy is fully trained in newborn and baby handling, with hands-on one-to-one mentoring and extensive workshops behind her work. Safety and comfort are priorities, especially when little ones are involved, but that discipline sits alongside a warm, calm manner that helps even shy children and new parents relax. Her studio is filled with carefully chosen, handmade props, gowns and accessories so every session can be tailored to your taste — from understated lifestyle images to more elaborate, gown-led fine art portraits. Judy’s process is designed around families. Before the shoot she offers a friendly phone or video consultation to discuss styling, colour palettes and the feel you want for your portraits. On the day you’ll be welcomed with refreshments, shown the set-ups and guided through poses and prompts that create genuine connection, rather than stiff smiles. Newborn sessions are baby‑led and unrushed; Judy books only one baby session a day so there’s ample time for feeds, nappy changes and cuddles. As a family photography specialist, Judy works across studio and outdoor locations throughout Aberystwyth and Ceredigion — misty golden-hour portraits on the coast or intimate studio images, depending on what suits your family. After the shoot she hand-edits your chosen images with attention to fine detail and offers an ordering session so you can choose bespoke wall art, albums and folio boxes to display in your home. Whether you’re capturing a growing family, a newborn’s first days, a sitter session or a birthday milestone, Rosebuds Photography focuses on creating portraits that are more than photos — they are heirlooms. If you value a specialist who combines technical skill, newborn safety training, an award-winning eye and a genuinely caring approach, Judy at Rosebuds will help you preserve the moments you’ll want to look back on for years to come.
