Brighton Family Photographer | A Little Visit To Queen’s Park

Today's blog post takes us back to a chilly, foggy December day for a beautiful family photoshoot. Nina and her parents, who live in London, spent the holiday season in Brighton with her grandparents. I always love capturing families during this festive time - and it’s usually very quiet out and about as most families are away over Christmas.

When I arrived at Nina’s grandparents’ house, she was busy preparing a drink and snack for Santa. It was the perfect moment for some relaxed, candid shots indoors - giving her time to get comfortable with me and the camera before we headed outside. Initially, her nana wasn’t planning to join us, but Nina was determined she would be part of the photoshoot, so of course she did!

I’ve photographed families in all kinds of weather, from overcast skies to rainy days, but this was my first-ever shoot in thick fog. Surprisingly, it created a beautifully soft and atmospheric backdrop for their portraits. When we arrived at Queen’s Park, it was unusually quiet - so much so that Nina practically had the entire playground to herself!

Queen’s Park is a dream location for documentary-style family photography. There’s so much for little ones to do - feeding the ducks at the pond, exploring the winding paths, or simply playing freely in the playground. This session was full of joy, warmth, and genuine connection, despite the cold weather.

Do you and your family live in Brighton and Hove and are you thinking about a family photoshoot, but are you not a fan of overly posed family portraits? Let me capture authentic family moments with a documentary-style photoshoot for you in Queen’s Park, Brighton.

From feeding the ducks, swans and the pigeons in the pond to exploring the green Wild Garden and the playground, there are so many lovely spots for those natural, candid photos of you and your children.
