Capturing moments of joy, the love, the real moments that fill your heart with happiness.

From little button noses and tiny little toes, to new adventures and teenage woes. Here at Bumble & Bow Photography, I aim to capture the joy (and craziness) of family life in my home studio based in South Derbyshire or a location that holds a special place in your heart.

There’s always someone missing from the photos you take of your family, either that or you do a selfie and the angle is all weird. It’s not usually something you can put on your wall. A family photography session allows everyone to get in on the action. We’re not talking stuffy and posed family portraits like it’s the Victorian era. There’ll be no stiff backs and stern faces here. I’m all about capturing the fun, informal, real, and spontaneous moments between you and your children. Those moments that catch the love in your eye. Images that tell the story of your family. Your life. Your love.

“I cannot recommend Kirsty enough. Not only are the photos absolutely gorgeous but the turnaround from photoshoot to gallery has me astounded. The photoshoot itself was so easy going and relaxed, Kirsty was so friendly and patient with my escape artist of a one year old. Thank you again Kirsty, I’m in awe.”

My Approach

My approach to family photography is all about creating a relaxed, natural, and joyful experience that brings out the genuine connections between loved ones. I know that every family is unique, and I focus on capturing the little moments - the laughter, the playful glances, and the unspoken bonds that make your family special. Whether it’s a cosy in-home or studio session or an outdoor adventure, I guide you through the process with warmth and energy, making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. No stiff poses, no pressure, just authentic, beautifully composed images that tell your family’s story in a timeless and heartfelt way.

My Style

With soft, organic tones and a clean yet inviting aesthetic, my images have a light, airy feel while maintaining depth and emotion. Whether it’s a relaxed outdoor session or a cosy indoor shoot, I aim for a balance of beautifully composed portraits and candid, storytelling moments that preserve real emotions and genuine relationships. The result? Images that feel heartfelt, elegant, and true to you.
