Family Photographer in Derbyshire
Our family photography studio is based in Swanwick, Derbyshire, in a calm, welcoming space designed to help families feel completely at ease. We regularly photograph families from Alfreton, Ripley, Belper, Heanor, South Normanton and across the wider Derbyshire area, as well as those travelling from nearby Nottinghamshire. With easy access and free parking, visiting the studio is simple and stress-free for families of all sizes.
Family photographs are about more than capturing how your family looks in this moment. They are about preserving a chapter of your story that passes far too quickly.
As parents, we are constantly behind the camera, documenting our children as they grow, change and find their place in the world. What we often forget is to step into the frame ourselves.
One day, your children will look back through these photographs. They won’t be searching for perfection. They’ll be looking for you.
Family photography at Enchanted Memories Photography is relaxed, natural and centred around connection. Whether you’re cuddling a newborn, laughing with a growing baby, or gathering everyone together as your family evolves, your session is designed to create images that feel genuine, warm and deeply meaningful.
Family photography studio in Swanwick, Derbyshire and surrounding areas
Family photography sessions are suitable for babies, children and families at every stage.
These sessions are perfect if you missed newborn photographs, if your baby is now smiling and full of personality, or if you simply want to capture your family as they are right now. From expressive babies and sitting stages through to parent and child portraits and older siblings, each session is guided gently and naturally.
There is no pressure for children to perform or pose. Sessions are child-led, allowing space for movement, cuddles, laughter and quiet moments. This approach creates images that feel genuine and timeless rather than staged.
A calm and welcoming studio experience
Our Swanwick photography studio is designed to feel calm, comfortable and welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Family sessions are easy-going and unhurried. You will be gently guided throughout, so there is no need to worry about how to stand or what to do. Children are encouraged to be themselves and parents are supported every step of the way.
If you feel a little nervous about being in front of the camera, you are not alone. Many parents feel the same. These sessions are about connection, not perfection, and your children will simply see you as the person they love most in the world.
What to expect from your family photography session
Family photography sessions include:
-
A relaxed studio session with plenty of time for children to settle
-
Natural guidance to help everyone feel comfortable and confident
-
A mix of family, sibling and individual images where appropriate
-
Simple, timeless styling with the option of studio props if desired
-
A calm, supportive experience focused on genuine connection
Sessions are suitable for families with babies, toddlers and older children, and can be tailored to suit your family dynamic.
Family photography at every stage
Family photography sessions are designed to grow with you. They are perfect for families who may have missed newborn photographs, for babies who are now smiling and full of personality, and for sitting or crawling babies discovering the world around them.
These sessions are also a beautiful opportunity for parent and child portraits. So often, mums are the ones behind the camera, and these photographs become some of the most meaningful images your children will ever have. There is no pressure to pose or perform, just time to slow down and capture the bond you share.
Whether your child is tiny, confidently sitting, on the move, or growing fast into childhood, sessions are guided gently and naturally. The focus is always on connection, closeness and capturing your family as they are right now.
