Family and Newborn Photography in Worthing, West Sussex | Family photographer Worthing with a documentary approach

When we moved down from London to East Sussex last year, I felt like I knew absolutely nothing about the area we were about to call “home”. When we made the decision to move to Hove, it was mainly based on a little family getaway we did the year before. We spent a few Summer days in Hove and I was like “I love this place, it must be nice to live so close to the sea” and that was it. The decision was made.

We’ve been in Hove now for nearly a year, and we absolutely love living here and have zero regrets leaving London. I feel like I am slowly starting to get to know the area a bit more, but there is still lots to explore! Ivy loves going on a little adventure with us to Devil’s Dyke, we’ve been to see the windmill (Beacon Mill) in Rottingdean and, a few months ago, when Ivy’s cousins were over from the Netherlands, we all went to Middle Farm, near Lewes, to cuddle some farm animals.

Friends of ours live in Worthing, West Sussex, which is only a 20 minutes drive for us, and, having been there quite a few times now, I can honestly say that I absolutely love this place. It has so many lovely locations to create some gorgeous outdoor family photos! When you book a family photoshoot with me, I will always ask you to think of an outdoor activity that you like doing with your children. When you live in Worthing, the beach tends to be a popular choice! Worthing is a lovely vibrant seaside town, based around its historic pier, with plenty of shops and a gently sloping beach. It also has a fairground along the town’s promenade, which is just the perfect location for those candid and natural family photos!

The most important thing when having your family portraits taken is that the whole family feels comfortable in front of the camera. For both my family and newborn photoshoots I start off at home, the place that’s most familiar to you, and where you feel like you can be yourselves. Once you feel totally at ease around me and my camera, we can head out to do something fun! Think going to the beach, exploring Arundel Castle, going for a walk in Steyne Gardens or just going to your favourite cafe for a hot chocolate (Ivy’s favourite thing to do :-)).

Based in Brighton & Hove, I offer natural, unposed and informal family and newborn photography in East and West Sussex. If you and your family live in Worthing, or surrounding lovely costal places like Lancing, Steyning, Littlehampton or Goring-by-Sea, and would like to book your own family or newborn baby photoshoot in West Sussex to get some natural, unposed photos then I would love to hear from you!
