Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Kristine and her daughter Jana during a relaxed outdoor family photography session in Leicester. As a family photographer in Leicester, I love creating natural outdoor photographs that feel genuine and personal.
After hearing Kristine’s ideas and seeing the connection between them, I knew this would be a special shoot.
I naturally prefer photographing people outdoors rather than in a traditional studio environment. Working with natural light and real interaction helps sessions feel far more genuine and comfortable. The soft evening light just before sunset made the atmosphere even more relaxed.
After finding a beautiful field in the Leicestershire countryside, we spent the evening capturing natural and relaxed photographs together.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN LEICESTER
As a family photographer in Leicester, I prefer creating relaxed outdoor family photography sessions that feel natural rather than heavily posed. Photographing families in open spaces using natural light allows moments and personalities to unfold more comfortably. Whether it’s a quiet family session, parent-and-child photographs, or relaxed portraits in the Leicestershire countryside, my approach is always documentary-led and focused on genuine connection.
Outdoor family photography sessions are always relaxed and unhurried, allowing children and families to feel comfortable without too much direction or posing. I love documenting genuine interaction, movement, and emotion naturally while making the most of the evening light and surrounding landscape. These sessions are perfect for families wanting natural photographs that feel real and timeless.
Sessions like these are a great way to capture real memories together in a relaxed and natural environment without the pressure of a formal studio setup.
One of the things I enjoy most about family photography is capturing genuine interaction between parents and children. These natural moments often become the photographs families treasure most over the years.
