Family Photography in the Surrey Hills | Friday Street Family & Dog Summer Photo Session
Surrey offers a plethora of idyllic backdrops for photography. The diverse landscapes and historical sites inspire photographers - local or visiting from afar - to try their hand at capturing some of its beauty. From the rolling hills to the lush woodlands, serene meadows and elegant gardens of stately homes, the county provides a wealth of settings that are perfect for capturing cherished family moments.
Family Photography in the Surrey Hills
This family and dog photo session took place at the bottom of Leith Hill, in a lush bit of woodland which comes out to a small holding. I met the family there in the middle of summer, when vegetarion was lush and green, and days were long. I wanted to incorporate the surroundings into the photographs so for the first set of photos I took of the whole family together, I asked the family to go right in amonst the bracon. This was such a nice clean backdrop, which made the family really pop in the photos, the light blue of the shirts contrasting with the green tonally, and the light pink of the girls’ dresses complementing the green tones.
Natural Family Moments
After a bit of walking, the youngest memeber of the family was a little tired so naturally it was time for cuddles. I love capturing these genuine, tender moments, they are a record of not only the time in a family’s life but of all the little moments which are fleeting and gone before we know it.
Surrey Children Photographer
I often hear comments like “never photograph children and dogs”. I love photographing both! In fact, I am happiest when there are children and dogs together. I really enjoy engaging with children, letting them show me their favourite games, tricks or telling me their favourite stories. On this occation, we had some bubbles at hand, which provided endless enterntainment. The girls were so engaged in making the bubbles, chasing and bursting them, that this activity set a scene for some lovely spontanious, natural moments which I was ready to capture with my camera.
Family Photography with Dog
A family photoshoot wouldn’t be complete without a dog. I love photographing families with dogs and capturing special bonds family members have with their four legged friends. In this instance, there was a special connection between this sweet little rescue cocker spaniel and the dad. I love the photo below, when I look at it, it conveys pure love and joy!

Mini Family Photo Session in Abinger Roughs and Netely Park | Surrey Hills Family Photoshoot
Mini Family Photo Sessions in the Surrey Hills
I recently organised mini family photo sessions in Abinger Roughs and Netely Park, in the beautiful Surrey Hills. These sessions are great for families who would like to have a taster of what a family photo shoot might feel / look like, for those who would like to update their family photos, have a busy schedule, or those who would like to gift a mini session - I offer a variety of gift vouchers in my gift voucher store.
Abinger Roughs Family Photo Shoot
The Spring mini sessions took place at Abinger Roughs and Netely Park, a beautiful National Trust walk with ancient woodland and wildflower-rich grasslands. There is a natural play area, great for settling kids into the session and burning off some access energy. Beyond is a birch rich wooded area, a pine tree plantation, ancient beech trees, open fields and hilly vistas - perfect backdrops for a family photoshoot.
Surrey Hills Family Photographer
I organise family mini photo sessions a few times a year, at selected locations in the beautiful Surrey countryside. Each mini session lasts half an hour, it is centred around your family and we enjoy activities you like to do as a family. I will make sure you have a nice time; I will play games with the kids, ask them to run, jump or play hide and seek so I can get a nice selection of images for you to choose from. You will receive a link to a private gallery with 10-15 images to choose from. Three digital files are included in the price of the mini session; these will be sent to you via on line transfer to your email address.
Thinking About Booking?
Please contact me to enquire about the next mini sessions. I require a 30% deposit to book me in for the session, with the remainder of the fee payable before the photoshoot. I look forward to hearing from you!
