Child photography in Dorset, Hampshire and the New Forest

Two young girls sit side-by-side on a white background. The girl on the left wears a floral dress and cardigan, while the girl on the right wears a pink shirt, purple leggings, and black boots. Both girls are smiling as they are photographed by New Forest child photographer Jerry Fenner.

Getting photographs of your children is about more than just capturing faces. Children grow and change so quickly, and photographs become lasting reminders of their unique expressions, personalities, and milestones at every stage. These images become treasured keepsakes for you, your family, and even future generations. Whether it’s a cheeky grin, a missing tooth, or a quiet, thoughtful glance, a great photo can preserve those fleeting moments forever.

Beautiful child photography at it’s best

Professional child photography is about capturing them as they are — in all their personality, energy, and wonder — before those moments pass. Kids change so quickly, and phone snapshots can’t always do justice to their expressions, tiny details, or the emotional depth of a fleeting stage of childhood. A professional knows how to work with natural light, timing, and connection to bring out your child’s character in timeless, beautifully composed images. These photos become more valuable with every passing year — for you, for them, and for the future generations who will treasure seeing where it all began.

Parents, get photographs with your children!

Mums (and I say mums because you are usually the ones who organise everything, sorry dads, but you know that’s true), do you know how many times a parent brings their kids along for a photography session, and then don’t step into the photos theirselves? Almost always and I wonder how often in the future the children will look at the photos and wonder where mum was. Well I invite you to come along wearing something nice and enjoy being with your child in photos that will show your closeness, your bond and your joy in each others company. Maybe you need to be looking at our Family Photography page.
