Family Photographer

Hey there, I'm Marta – Your Nottingham Family Photographer!

First of all — welcome!
I’m so happy you’re here. Before we jump into the excitement of your family photoshoot, I’d love to tell you a little more about who I am and what working together will feel like.

I’m a Family Photographer based in Nottingham, and if there’s one thing I know for sure — life’s sweetest moments deserve to be captured and cherished forever. (Because seriously, they grow up way too fast, don’t they?)

Eyes filled with stories, a Nottingham photographer peers through the lens, ready to capture life's unwritten moments.

Heart-Centred Photography - Why I Do What I Do

I’m not the kind of photographer who’s chasing trends. Nope. I follow my heart — every single time.

For me, photography isn’t just about creating pretty pictures. It’s about capturing real, messy, magical emotions.
It’s about freezing those tiny, perfect moments you’ll want to replay in your mind over and over again — like scenes from the most heartwarming movie you’ve ever seen.

When you look at your photos years from now, I want you to feel the giggles, the hugs, the love — just like you did in that moment.

Where I work - Where the Magic Happens

I love giving you options so your session feels just right:

Studio

sessions (with gorgeous light and a cozy, relaxed vibe)

Outdoor

(think fields of flowers, parks, woodlands, epic sunsets)

In your Home

because sometimes, there’s no place more magical than your own living room)

Wherever we shoot, it’s all about capturing your family’s authentic connection.

A Little Bit About My Journey

Photography has been a part of my soul for as long as I can remember, but officially, I trained at:

  • Children’s Academy of Photography
  • Children’s Photography University

I’ve also learned from some of the best in the biz — like the incredible Sue Bryce — and keep sharpening my skills with workshops in maternity, family, studio lighting, and couples’ photography.

Learning never stops. It’s what keeps my work fresh, soulful, and full of life.

What It’s Like Working With Me

Real talk: having your photo taken can feel a bit awkward, right?
That’s why I make it my mission to turn every session into a relaxed, laughter-filled experience you’ll genuinely enjoy.

I’m here to guide you, pose you gently when needed, and most importantly — make sure you’re having fun and feeling completely yourself.
Because that’s when the real magic happens.

(Also, parents — no stress if your kids are wild or shy. I’ve got three boys myself, so trust me: I’ve seen it all. 😉)

Preserving Precious Moments: Nottingham Family Photographer

A Journey from Motherhood to Photography

When I became a mother, everything changed.
Suddenly, every giggle, every tiny handhold, every fleeting moment felt so precious — like little scenes from a story I never wanted to forget.

That’s where my passion for photography truly began.
I was inspired to capture family moments in a way that felt pure, magical, and deeply personal — just like those heartwarming stories you see in Hallmark movies, where every frame is filled with love and connection.

This dream led me to pick up my camera, chase the light, and tell real family stories — stories like yours.

Why Being a Mom Makes Me a Better Family Photographer

As a proud mom to three lively boys, I understand that real family life isn’t about perfect poses — it’s about patience, playfulness, and pure moments of joy.

Whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor family adventure or a cosy studio session, I know how to make kids (and parents!) feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated.

Every family is wonderfully unique, and I work hard to create a comfortable, easy-going atmosphere that lets your true personality shine through.
No stiff smiles — just genuine connection and laughter.

Capturing Genuine Moments, Not Just Poses

I believe portraits should be more than pretty pictures — they should tell your family’s true story.

My style blends fine art with a touch of everyday magic, creating timeless portraits full of feeling.
The messy hugs. The quiet looks. The big belly laughs.
Those are the moments you’ll treasure forever — and those are the moments I live to capture.

An Experience Your Family Will Always Remember

For me, a photography session isn’t just about what ends up in a frame — it’s about the experience you have together.

From the very first hello to the final gallery delivery, my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and excited.
We’ll create not just stunning images, but memories you’ll hold close to your heart for years to come.

Because when you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the laughter, the connection, and the joy of simply being together.

Why Families Trust Me

Fatima

“Our experience was unforgettable, as I jointly had a maternity shoot and a family photos. Marta ensured that everything was in order the day before the shooting by visiting the location where we would be shooting.
It made me feel very good, and my partner and children in particular had a fantastic and enjoyable day. Marta is an excellent professional at her job. She is also extremely patient and kind. This was our first time photographing, but if the Almighty wills, it will not be our last.
My children could not stop discussing the experience… Marta also brought some items for the children to enjoy. I strongly recommend her.”

Ella

“I am delighted to provide an excellent review for the remarkable work of this professional photographer. Her talent and dedication truly shone throughout the entire experience. From the moment we engaged with her, her professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Martha skilfully captured the essence of our event, beautifully preserving every cherished moment. Her artistic vision and technical expertise resulted in breathtaking photographs that exceeded our expectations. Moreover, her friendly demeanor and ability to put everyone at ease made the entire process enjoyable. We are immensely grateful for her exceptional work and highly recommend her for any photography needs.

My family and I will definitely work with you again.
Thank you Martha.”

Adam

“The service I and my now Fiancé recieved was outstanding. I had been planning my proposal for 8 months and Marta was supportive throughout the whole process. If you live outside Nottingham like I do, don’t let that deture you. The professional service Marta provides makes it worth your while. There was not one time we felt rushed or under pressure. I can’t recommend Marta enough and her portfolio speaks for it self. No request or suggest was too big or small.She also has a good eye for locations.

I will definitely be recommending Marta to friends and family. The amount of positive feedback we have received from our photos is endless.”
