Joyful & Relaxed Family Photography in Rochester and Kent

Making the everyday magic

“Vickie made the whole experience a joy. I felt relaxed and comfortable from the start, without having to perform for the camera and we could just be ourselves. She managed to capture the happy chaos of life in the most beautiful way that genuinely reflects us as a family” – Fiona

Looking for a relaxed family photographer in Kent? Then you’re in the right place!

Let’s skip the stiff poses and perfect smiles.

We photograph families as they are – giggles, cuddles, snack breaks and all. This is natural, emotive photography that celebrates the real story of your family.

These everyday details might feel ordinary now, but they’re the memories you’ll treasure as time passes.

A Relaxed, Documentary Approach

Our sessions are designed for families who want something more honest than the usual studio set-up. We take a documentary-style approach, meaning we won’t ask your kids to sit still or say cheese. Instead, we follow your vibe – whether that’s cuddles on the sofa, muddy wellies in the woods, or climbing trees in a local Rochester park, gently documenting the little in-between moments that often mean the most.

This is for you if:

• You want to be in the photos for once – not just taking them.

• Your children are growing up faster than you imagined, and you want to press pause – even just for a couple of hours.

• You’re worried your kids won’t “behave” and need a photographer who gets it.

• You’d love some meaningful images that truly reflect your family’s personality.
  

We work quietly in the background, giving gentle direction when it’s needed, but mostly just letting your family be. Because that’s where the magic lives – in your real life.

What’s included?

Whether we’re puddle-jumping in wellies or baking biscuits in your kitchen, your session is shaped around the rhythm of your family. That means no pressure, no forced smiles – just space to be yourselves.

Here’s what you can expect:

• A relaxed, unhurried photo session at home or outdoors – somewhere that feels like your family.

• Storytelling photography that captures genuine connection and all the beautiful, messy, wonder in between.

• A private online gallery to view and choose your favourite images in your own time.

• A choice of packages to suit you and your budget.

We keep things simple and calm. Your kids get to be themselves – and you get lasting memories of this chapter in your family’s story.

Hi,

Hi, we’re Vickie & Chi – your friendly, relaxed family photography team based in Rochester.

We’ve been married for over 13 years, together for 22,  and are raising two energetic little humans of our own. So when we say we get it – the chaos, the love, sudden meltdowns, the sticky fingers – we really mean it.

We know how fast the years go. That’s why family means everything to us, and why we’re so passionate about capturing the real, everyday beauty of yours. Together, we create a space where you can just be.

When we’re not photographing families, we’re hanging out with our own – playing football, going for walks, baking cakes, and soaking up all that parenthood has to offer.

Whether you’re local to Rochester, nearby in Kent or London, we’d love to capture your family in a way that feels honest and true to you.

Remember now, forever

Let’s capture the now – just as it is – so you can look back and remember the love, the laughter, and that exact way your child tucked their hand in yours.
