FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Rutland Family Photography
Because there’s magic in the ordinary
When you think of family photography, you probably imagine coercing everyone into their fanciest (and most uncomfortable) clothes and trekking to the local portrait studio for an hour of fake smiles.
Well I want to introduce you to an uncomplicated, fun new approach to family photography. One that’s dynamic and delightful. One that documents your life as it really is. Maybe that means we’ll get a little bit muddy or navigate a tantrum here or there. But that’s alright! Because even though family life can be messy at times, that’s part of what makes it so beautiful.
Together, let’s turn the mile-wide smiles, cosy cuddles, and even a bit of the chaos that decorates your days into images your family will cherish for generations.
“We will treasure our photos always”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! A lovely person as well as a hugely talented photographer! She is also brilliant at giving direction; helping us to feel more relaxed & natural. She went above & beyond for us and we will certainly be booking her for all our future family photo shoots! Thank you Amanda!!.”

FAMILY SESSIONS
The Mini Time-capsule
Natural, relaxed photography for families who’d rather be having fun than posing for pictures. Whether we’re at your home or exploring outdoors, this session is about capturing genuine moments of your family being themselves.
At home, we might photograph you baking together in the kitchen, playing in the garden, or building dens in the playroom. If you prefer to head out, we can splash in puddles, hunt for the Gruffalo in the woods, or explore your favourite local spot. These sessions work best when you’re simply enjoying time together – that’s when the real smiles and natural interactions happen.
Includes
- One hour photography session
- Full gallery of edited images
- Choice of home or location shoot
- Travel within 30 minutes of Rutland
- Relaxed, child-led approach
Weekdays £250 | Weekends £300
These sessions are ideal for families who want genuine photographs that capture their children’s personalities and family relationships, without the pressure of formal poses or staged shots.
I’ll guide you through the session with a gentle approach that puts everyone at ease, letting your family’s real character shine through in the photographs.
Toothbrush Sessions
Every parent knows that bedtime is rarely a smooth operation. These sessions capture the beautiful chaos of your evening routine – from splashing in the bath and superhero toothbrushing to bedtime stories and those precious last cuddles of the day.
Taking place in your home during the wind-down hours, these sessions document the real moments that make family life what it is: the negotiations over how many stories to read, the inevitable hunt for the favourite pyjamas, and those wonderful moments of calm when everything finally falls into place.
Includes
- Up to 3 hours of photography
- Full gallery of edited images
- Natural, documentary approach
- No pressure to ‘perform’ or stick to a schedule
Weekdays £700 | Weekends £750
These sessions capture your evening exactly as it is – whether that’s perfectly orchestrated or cheerfully chaotic. Years from now, these are the real moments you’ll want to remember: damp hair, milk moustaches, favourite teddies, and all those little bedtime rituals that make your family unique.
A day in the life – Your family’s story
Ever wondered what your daily life will look like in years to come? From bleary-eyed breakfast times to goodnight kisses, these sessions capture the entire rhythm of your family’s day – the ordinary moments that make your life extraordinary.
I’ll join you from morning wake-up through to bedtime, documenting your family’s authentic daily adventures. Whether it’s morning rushes, mealtimes, school runs, playtime, quiet moments, or bath time battles – every part of your day tells its own story.
Includes
- Full day of natural, documentary photography
- Coverage from wake-up to bedtime
- Complete gallery of edited images
- All your family’s daily activities captured
- Freedom to go about your normal routine
Weekdays £1350 | Weekends £1450
These sessions work brilliantly for families who want to remember the reality of their daily lives – the messy breakfast tables, the living room obstacle courses, the garden adventures, and those precious quiet moments that happen in between. There’s no need to plan anything special – your normal day is exactly what we want to capture.

KIND WORDS
We will treasure our photos
“I couldn’t recommend Amanda highly enough she perfectly captured my toddler and my family on our shoot. She is professional, calm and relaxed and made us feel at ease. We will treasure our photos always, thank you Amanda
Amanda was fantastic!
Amanda was fantastic on our family photoshoot, she put everyone at ease (especially the kids) and the photos are absolutely fantastic! Would highly recommend her.
Thank you.
If you are worried about having to “pose” for pictures (as we were), DON’T! We barely knew Amanda was there, and so the pictures are natural and perfect
