Cotswold Family Photographer Claire Westaway looks at the camera smiling

hello!

I’m Claire, a mum to 3 boys and a photographer who loves capturing natural, relaxed and joyful photos for families and couples in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and The Cotswolds. Natural light and natural locations, especially your home, are my bag and I love to create the photos you want on your wall forever.

photography sessions

my photos are full of joy, laughter, connection, tenderness, and most of all love.

And I’m here for every part of your story: when it’s just the two of you or when there’s a little one on the way; when your little bundle has arrived or you’re chasing after your toddler; when your family is growing or totally complete; when your children still hold your hand or tower over you…I’m here to capture it all.

It's your chance to enjoy some quality time together as a family. I'll come to your home or your favorite outdoor location, and we'll chat, hang out and I’ll help you create the moments you want to remember for ever. No pressure, no ‘say cheese!’, nothing posed or forced; just you and your favourite people having fun together.

My newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led and all about the connection and bond between you and your baby. There’s no pressure to create the picture-perfect shot or to follow the latest photography trends with client wardrobes and props. The photos we create are all about you and this amazing little human, framed beautifully in your home - we don’t need anything else!

Your family session is tailored just for you. Do you come to life when you’re in the great outdoors or is your home where the heart is, & where you all feel the most comfortable? We choose the place which suits you best. And equally, I personalise my approach to bring out the best in you and your children - fun with lots of energy and games or a little quieter with lots of cuddles and gentle moments.

You might be looking for a maternity session to mark the most unique and special chapter in your lives. Or perhaps photographs of the two of you to mark an anniversary, engagement or just because you only have selfies with the person you love. Whatever the reason, my couples sessions are relaxed and easy-going with just a little bit of gentle guidance from me.
