Ellie Chadwick Photography in Hawarden specialises in family shoots, creating relaxed, authentic images of families and children. Portrait and maternity sessions available on request.
Ellie Chadwick Photography is a Hawarden-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to capturing the real connections that make each family unique. Ellie’s work centres on natural, relaxed family shoots that prioritise authentic moments over stiff posing. Her aim is to create images that feel like you — warm, joyful, and unmistakably personal. Why choose Ellie? With a clear focus on family photography, Ellie brings patience, a calm presence and a light, unobtrusive approach to every session. She understands how children move through a shoot — full of energy, curiosity and candid expression — and uses that understanding to coax out honest interactions rather than forced smiles. That results in portraits that are alive with personality and honest emotion, whether you’re capturing sibling bonds, playful family moments or tender parent-and-child interactions. Ellie’s approach is collaborative and relaxed. She takes time to get to know each family before the shoot so she can craft a comfortable atmosphere where everyone feels at ease. Sessions are guided, not scripted: Ellie uses gentle prompts and familiar activities to encourage natural expression, allowing real moments to unfold. The result is a gallery of images that tell the story of your family’s character — candid, timeless and full of heart. Though family photography is her core specialty, Ellie also provides portrait work, including empowerment shoots, and offers maternity sessions as an occasional service. These are handled with the same attentive, client-led approach: thoughtful planning, a respectful atmosphere and a focus on capturing the genuine spirit of the person or family in front of the lens. Working locally in Hawarden and the surrounding area, Ellie is committed to delivering a friendly, professional experience from first contact to final images. If you’re looking for a family photographer who values connection, warmth and authenticity, Ellie Chadwick Photography makes sessions feel natural and memorable — producing photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
