I am David Woodcock a professional Norfolk family photographer based in Norwich. Photographing couples is also another of my specialities. Whatever your needs, I’ll work with you to create elegant and relaxed images to treasure forever.
With this form of photography it is about being relaxed, natural and having fun. It is also about capturing people that have a relationship with each other.
My photo shoots are not about capturing the perfect couple or family. They are about capturing you at your best when surrounded by the people you love.
During your photo shoot I will capture the personalities of each of you and all of the special moments as you interact with each other.
You can use the images to create stunning wall art, photo books, prints or just simply view them on your smartphone or tablet. Sharing family images with your loved ones is a great idea and they also make fabulous gifts for Christmas and Birthdays.
I will provide you with a range of imaginative photographs. My operating times are weekdays and weekends from 9:00am to sunset. However mid April to mid October is the best period of the year for weather and lighting. The Christmas period is a popular time for a photo shoot when families and friends get together and meet at holiday accommodation.
Beautiful images that tell your family story
Children grow up and change very quickly. However with excellent photography you can keep tangible memories of the people that matter to you most. Creative images of you and your family can be treasured, enjoyed and cherished forever.

During a photo shoot and working together, I can capture who you are and all that you wish to remember about the people you love. So when your children have grown up and leave home you will have something special to hold on to. Your children will also have some lovely memories of you.
Sisters on a photo shoot
Your garden, a local park, a woodland or a beach are great places to capture your family. Visitors to the area love a family photo shoot especially in the grounds of holiday accommodation or on a beach. My favourite beach locations are Happisburgh in Norfolk and Southwold in Suffolk. However the area has so many lovely beaches with golden sand you are really spoilt for choice.
My portrait shoots are fun and relaxed occasions to be enjoyed by all. I tend to keep any posing at a minimum and just capture the love and spontaneity between you.
Sisters
With photo sessions spread out over regular intervals you will have a superb record of how your family changes over time. As the years pass by your treasured memories will become even more cherished.
A family photo shoot is also a lovely gift for a special birthday or wedding anniversary.
How to get the best from your photo shoot
The best time for a photo shoot depends on the time of year. In summer the hour before sunset “golden hour” provides some incredible light. In the middle of a summer day the light can be quite harsh. If so we will pick a location where there is some shade.
People Combinations
To add variety to your photos it is best to have individual shots and combinations of people in different groups. The full group is obviously a must. Other excellent images that work well are:-
- Husband and wife
- Newborn
- Baby
- Children
- Father with each child
- Mother with each child
- Grandparents
A one hour photo shoot is ideal for a group of up to 4 people. If you have a larger group then I recommend a 2 hour photo shoot. Some larger groups like to split up after an hour leaving a smaller group to photograph. Others like to combine a family photo shoot with some of my other services such as head shots and engagements.

Photo Shoot Clothing
A variety of clothing helps to improve your images. With groups it is best to travel as light as possible and to wear layers. So a T-shirt, pullover, jacket and coat is sufficient. I can then get the variety of images that you require without you having to find changing facilities.
I’ve also had some groups who have had matching T-Shirts created and printed especially for their photo shoot. Other groups in late November and December have changed into Christmas jumpers.
However if you arrive at a photo shoot just as you are, I will still provide you with a beautiful set of images.
