Family Photography
Welcome to Ember Studios. No awkward poses or forced smiles here. We capture those in-between moments; the laughter, the muddy knees, the quiet glances... all in a cinematic, natural style that tells your family's story just as it is. Full of life, movement, and connection. No matching jumpers required. Just real memories, beautifully preserved.
Capturing Life Moments
-149.jpg)
Offering relaxed, storytelling family photography on location across Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. Whether we're chasing golden light through the fields or capturing quiet moments at home, our sessions are all about genuine connection and personality. We love the great outdoors... country parks, bluebell-filled woodlands, open skies... but there's also something timeless about photographing families in their own space. This is where memories are made and lived every single day (even if the decor isn’t what you'd call perfect). We also offer newborn and maternity sessions.
Just real life, beautifully told.
A Relaxed Approach...
We understand that not everyone loves the spotlight. Our calm, intuitive approach is especially suited to introverts, shy folk, little ones with big feelings, and anyone who finds the idea of a photoshoot a bit overwhelming. We're all about gentle direction, creating space for you to just be yourselves. Because there's magic in that stillness. There's absolutely no pressure to perform or pretend.
Keepsakes to cherish...
These aren’t just photos for now. They’re keepsakes for your children, and their children. A quiet (or, hey, maybe even loud), beautiful mark you leave on the world.
We love to travel. We’re always up for an adventure. If your family has a special place... perhaps a beach or park... we’re happy to come along for the ride. For an additional travel fee, we’ll pack our gear (and car snacks, of course) and meet you wherever your story feels most alive.
Investment
Our prices are straightforward and all-inclusive. You get everything you need without any hidden extras. While some family photographers lure you in with a tempting session fee only to charge hundreds more for digital files, we believe your memories shouldn’t come with unwelcome surprises. When you book with us, you receive a gallery of beautifully edited, high-resolution images ready for you to keep, share, and cherish forever. No hidden costs. Just honest pricing for priceless moments.
Investing in family lifestyle photography is like pressing pause on the beautiful, busy whirlwind of life. Capturing the little moments of magic and love. These aren’t just pictures; they’re cinematic stories bursting with laughter, connection, and the kind of realness that makes your family uniquely yours. Whether it’s the joyful chaos of a full family session, the quiet of newborn days, or the glowing anticipation of maternity, these images become keepsakes that grow sweeter with time.
You might not do this every year, but when you do, you’re bottling up memories that future generations will cherish.
Family Lifestyle
Usually 1 to 2 hours long. Our family lifestyle sessions give you space to be yourselves while we capture your story. Whether it’s your favourite park, a hidden local spot, or somewhere meaningful to your family, you choose the location. With plenty of time for natural movement, laughter, and connection, these sessions create a rich collection of images that feel authentic and timeless.
Newborn
Our newborn sessions are a gentle, unhurried experience lasting 3 to 4 hours, designed to capture those fleeting first days. We create a calm, comfortable environment that lets your little one settle naturally, so we can capture authentic moments, tiny details, and family connections.
Maternity
Our maternity sessions, lasting 1 to 2 hours, are all about celebrating the anticipation of this incredible chapter. We create a relaxed, empowering space where you can feel comfortable and radiant, whether you prefer soft, natural light at home or a meaningful outdoor location.
Mini Sessions
These 30-minute shoots are relaxed, fun, and ideal for capturing growing little ones. We run them at set times throughout the year in beautiful, hand-picked locations. Think crispy golden leaves, blooming wildflowers, or soft evening light. Keep an eye on our socials for upcoming dates and booking info — they are limited and tend to go fast!
