Clifton Photography is a family team of portrait photographers specialising in natural-light family photography; we shoot all sorts of ages including babies, toddlers, children, teens and grandparents! With small children ourselves, we know how quickly they grow and how important it is to capture the moments you never want to forget. Our aim is to provide you with beautiful, natural photographs of your family to hang on your walls for years to come.
We are based in Surbiton and venture all around the beautiful Surrey countryside and the surrounding areas of West London with our cameras in tow. There are so many wonderful locations for family shoots that are easy to reach; whether it be Barnes, Banstead, Claygate, Cobham, Epsom, Esher, Guildford, Hinchey Wood, Horsley, Leatherhead, Long Ditton, Putney, Richmond, Sutton, Weybridge, Wimbledon or Woking.
Our photographs speak for themselves so please wander around our website, get a feel for our work and please do get in touch if you would like to organise a family shoot. You can reach us easily by emailing info@cliftonphotography.co.uk with your queries.
Our shoots are relaxed, informal, un-scripted and more importantly, they are a chance for you to spend quality time with your families. We accompany you on a walk and capture those happy moments whilst your children (and you!) explore, play and have fun together.
Before the shoot we will provide you with practical tips for the session and will run through any ideas you might have for shots you’d love to capture. The shoot itself will last around an hour but don’t worry if your children initially feel camera-shy as we will take as much time as they need. The shoot will be at an outdoor location of your choice; we can certainly recommend some wonderful spots. After the shoot we will send you a selection of fully edited proofs for you to consider in your own time and decide which photographs you would like to purchase.
Although most people want digital images, in the electronic world we live in today it is all too easy to let photographs sit on a computer hard drive and become forgotten. We can help break that trend with different ideas on how to display them for years to come. Please do read on for inspiration on displaying your photographs or email us at info@cliftonphotography.co.uk with any questions or ideas you want to make a reality.
The fee covers the photo shoot for your family at an outdoor location of your choice within Surrey. Beforehand we’ll have a quick chat to advise you how to get the most out of your shoot and typically we spend around 45 minutes to an hour together. We go with the flow on the day without rigid time constraints; the main focus on having an enjoyable time and capturing some wonderful moments.
This is incredibly popular with younger families. Over the course of three outdoor photo shoots during approximately 18 months we capture photographs that really show your little ones growing up and sometimes there are new siblings joining the family portrait! A really fantastic way to make sure you don’t miss any of those magical moments together before time runs away.
Digital images will be edited in high resolution for you with full release rights for personal use with the flexibility to decide how best you would like to display them.
A far more cost effective way to purchase the images you love. Whilst our packages are entirely bespoke depending on the shoot, you will typically save twenty five percent compared to the cost of buying images individually yet will benefit from the same beautifully edited high resolution images.
We use a beautiful semi-matt finish that has a slight texture which creates a very natural and flattering finish that is durable and has a good weight to it (231 gsm weight). All in all, the perfect way of displaying your photographs and a wonderful gift for parents, grandparents, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, or Christmas! To give you an idea on costs, a 6x4 print would cost around £10 although of course any size is possible.
For those occasions when it’s not practical to have a photographer with you, we offer a bespoke digital editing service; take a look at our example to see what we typically do. If you have favourite photographs from a holiday or special occasion that just need a polish to make them wall-worthy, this is the service for you. If you’re going to look at your prints every day for years to come, make them the best they can be.
