Welcome to Chinchilla Photography
​Family Photographer Bedfordshire

Hi! I am an award winning and published natural light and environment photographer specialising in family & child, newborn, baby, and maternity portraiture.

​Chinchilla is about more than just photography - it's about capturing love, family and relationships. It's about immortalising this part of your unique journey through life. Its about celebrating the family that you've created and the bonds that hold you together. It's about new life growing, new love forming, tiny toes and first steps. It's about little personalities emerging, growing up, growing old together. It's about never forgetting. It's your story - all that matters most to you, captured against the backdrop of our beautiful local countryside.

Chinchilla is based in Dunstable; travelling out year-round to carefully selected seasonal locations in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Also serving wonderful clients from Tring, Harpenden, Woburn, ​St Albans, Aylesbury, Hitchin, Watford, London and further afield.

​On the site there is a wealth of information; take a look at the Galleries, see how the local scenery changes throughout the year in The Season Guide, view information about your upcoming session in Your Session Guides, or have a look at the range of Props, Outfits & Styling that we can use to make your unique session just perfect for you. For a good idea of what we get up to during a session, you can find examples of full session video slideshows in the Videos section.
