Elizabeth Charlotte Portraits

I specialise in family photography from my cosy studio near Hawarden, capturing the honest, everyday moments that become your favourite images. My style is timeless, elegant and empowering — I look for the small connections: the way a child buries their face in a parent’s shoulder, a sibling’s delighted grin, or a quiet hand held in reassurance. Those are the moments that turn into heirloom portraits you’ll pass down and smile at for years. Why choose me? I bring a patient, maternal presence to every session. Families tell me they leave feeling relaxed and truly seen — that’s because I work at your pace and create an atmosphere where everyone (even the shyest child) feels comfortable. I use gentle direction, playful prompts and a warm studio to invite natural reactions rather than forced smiles. My aim is to produce portraits that feel like you: uncontrived, full of life and beautifully composed for display in your home. How I work with you: everything begins with listening. Before your session I send a short questionnaire so I can learn about your family, routines and what matters most to you. I’ll also provide styling guidance to help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and complement your home. On the day, whether you choose a relaxed studio shoot or an outdoor sunset session, I prioritise connection over posing — leading with activities and interactions that encourage real moments. Beyond the shoot I’m here to help you turn images into lasting pieces. I guide families through selecting prints and wall art that suit their space and style, ensuring your favourites become part of everyday life rather than a forgotten folder on a hard drive. Photography is how I tell stories — and your family’s story is one I’d be honoured to capture. Serving Hawarden and the wider North West, I welcome families who want natural, heartfelt portraits made with care, style and a little bit of magic. Let’s create something you’ll love looking at, day after day.
