Studio Family Photography in Gloucester

Beautiful portraits without the stress

Calm, guided, and relaxed. My warm studio is designed for families to feel comfortable – whatever your age and stage.

Family Photography Gloucester

You know you want family photos – but how do you actually make it happen without the stress?

Whether your kids are tiny and unpredictable, teenagers who’d rather not be there, or you’re bringing three generations together – I know how to make it work.

I’m good with kids. I know how to get genuine smiles out of reluctant teenagers. And I’ll guide you through everything – what to wear, how to stand, where to look – so you won’t feel awkward or posed.

My sessions are calm, relaxed, and work around your family. And if you don’t absolutely love your photos? I’ll refund you. That’s my 100% Happiness Guarantee.

Photography for all the family

Katie managed to get so many beautiful pictures

“I’m amazed that Katie managed to get so many beautiful pictures in such a short space of time, especially as my youngest is neurodiverse so struggles with following direction…

I’m absolutely thrilled with the results and once again Katie has managed to capture beautiful photos of split second moments…

I always recommend Katie whenever anyone is looking for a photoshoot because she’s so good at making people feel relaxed so that she can capture natural shots.“

— Nikki, Forest of Dean

We will treasure these photos for a lifetime

“The photos are absolutely incredible and I am so glad I went with the very reasonably priced platinum package as we got to keep all of the photos and have prints too. We will treasure these photos and the special moment we had together that day, for a lifetime. I cannot recommend Moments By Katie Mitchell enough.”

–Chris, Gloucester

Booking a photo session with Katie was an absolute pleasure from start to finish

“She took the time to understand our personalities, instantly putting us at ease during our photoshoot.

Her focus wasn’t just on completing a job but on creating lasting memories that we would cherish. She went above and beyond.

We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a photographer who not only excels in her craft but also genuinely cares about her clients’ experience.”

–Ena, Ross-On-Wye

Prefer a more natural look to your photographs?

Why not choose an outdoor photoshoot?

If you prefer a more natural feel to your family photographs, then outdoor photoshoots offer the best of both worlds, with both posed group shots and natural, lifestyle photographs of you and your family.

We’ll go out and enjoy the Gloucestershire countryside and I’ll let you and your children take the lead, capturing all the joy and those special little moments along the way.

Family Photoshoot FAQs

If you would like to understand more about the process, see my frequently asked questions about family photoshoots below.

Before your photoshoot

ME/MY PARTNER/MY CHILD ARE POORLY, CAN WE STILL COME FOR OUR APPOINTMENT?

I have to be really careful not to pass on any nasty germs to the small babies that enter my studio so, please get in touch to reschedule. You won’t be charged and it’s much better to be safe rather than sorry.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY FAMILY PORTRAIT?

There’s no perfect time for a family photoshoot. What I would say is don’t put it off! It’s far too common for parents to miss out on capturing special moments with their family because they’ve waited too long for perfect time/age/weight.. you name it.

DO YOU OFFER OUTDOOR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY?

Yes I do! Click here to go to my outdoor family photography page and find out more.

On the day

Where is your studio?

My studio is located at my home in Longlevens, moments off the A40 and M5 motorway, making it ideally situated for clients in Gloucester, Cheltenham and further afield.

Can I have my hair and make-up done?

Yes absolutely! I work with a fabulous hair and make-up artist who specialises in beautiful, natural make-up. Simply let me know you’d like to book when you get in touch.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSION?

During your consultation, we’ll have a chat about what it is that you’re after from your session and I’ll cater accordingly. After you’re booked in you’ll receive a welcome guide letting you everything you need to know to prepare for your session, particularly regarding clothing etc. We’ll aim to get a few different options for a full family portrait and then also get a variety of different photos of the kids/girls/boys etc on their own so that you’ve got plenty to choose from.

With younger children, we might spend a little while playing around at the start to get them feeling happy and comfortable in the studio before we get going. Please don’t worry or feel stressed – we’ll get you a whole gallery of gorgeous photographs!

After your photoshoot

What happens after my photoshoot?

We’ll arrange for your Reveal appointment around 1-2 weeks after your photoshoot, where you’ll be able to see all your fully edited beautiful photos. You’ll be able to take your digital photographs home the same day; prints can take up to three weeks to arrive and wall art up to six. It’s worth the wait!

What is the charity donation?

I donate £10 from every family photography session to local charities supporting families in Gloucestershire.

Click here to find out more about this year’s chosen charity.

Will you share my photos?

I’d love to! But I will never show your photographs to anyone without your consent.

I wrote a blog post which goes into a little more detail about this here.
