Fun, relaxed family photography and family portraits
Family photographer in Nottingham
Hi I’m Dave, a Nottingham family photographer. As a documentary photographer I specialise in creating natural, fun family photos that capture real moments and narrate the story of your family. I’m talking about all the in-between moments – the jumping in puddles, climbing trees and everything in between. These natural moments bring out the genuine emotions, giggles and ear-to-ear smiles. It’s what you and your children will remember of this time of your lives.
On a photoshoot you’ll be encouraged to enjoy some quality family time whilst I snap away in a laid back, relaxed way. No forced poses or cheesy smiles although I may (will!) encourage you and the kids to play, climb on tree stumps and throw autumn leaves in the air i.e. have fun! We can definitely take some group shots smiling at the camera too.
I'm the family photographer for you if...
- you’re adventurous, fun-loving folk who love exploring the outdoors and going on mini-adventures.
- you want to relaxed, fun photos of you and your kids that show off their personality.
- you want a chilled-out photographer with years of experience working with children who is fluent in ‘Kid’.
- you want access to all the edited digital images and be able to freely download them.
“We had the best time with Dave strolling through a woodland as he took some cracking photos of myself, my partner & our kids. I would highly recommend Dave.”

About me:
Hey, I’m Dave. I’ve been shooting families in a light-hearted, fun way in Nottingham and Derby for over eight years.
My love of family photography grew through photographing my own extended family, and more recently my daughter Sophie. I have worked with children as a primary school teacher for over 10 years. I loved the working with children part of being a teacher, but love photography so much, much more!
Since becoming a dad, I’ve realised more than ever the importance of recording those little moments so we can show Sophie her story of growing up.
Like me, my photography style is laid back and relaxed. I’ll chat and have fun with the kids, get stuck into play, and encourage everyone to have fun whilst capturing the fun and adorable moments as I go.
