Lyme Regis family photographer
Looking for a Lyme Regis family photographer?
Despite being based in Somerset, I have been to Lyme Regis a number of times both for family photoshoots and also for my own personal enjoyment.
Many of the family photos on this page were taken at Lyme Regis on the beach, The Cobb, or an Air BnB whilst a family was on holiday.
If you are looking for some natural and fun family photos taken at Lyme Regis, then read on.
With Lyme Regis being such a beautiful seaside town, I can get some lovely natural photos of you and your family playing in the sand, dipping your toes in the water or looking at the boats in the harbour.
Colourful pebbles, sandcastle or perhaps some ice creams can all be part of your family photos (although depending on the age of your children this might be messy….but possibly funny too). If you are passionate about living in Lyme Regis and Dorset life, then I really want to show that off.

Outdoor family photos
Do you have a favourite Lyme Regis seaside spot, or a nice area in your family garden that might be a good backdrop for photos? Have a think about what is in your area and I will make the best of it. The best places are where there are a variety of backgrounds and textures along with some props such as old walls, a rocky background or some colourful boats. If it’s the right time of year, blossom on trees in spring can make for some absolutely stunning photos full of life, light and colour. There are so many things at Lyme Regis than can serve as a great background for your seaside family photoshoot adventure.
The unpredictable weather
As lovely as the great outdoors is for great family photography in the Lyme Regis area, it can also be unpredicatble and few people would want a photoshoot in the rain. If the weather forecast is bad for your family photoshoot, and as long as an alternative day is not already booked, I am happy to be flexible.
Apart from specific days such as Mother’s Day or birthdays, if you are spending a week together at an Air BnB, then that gives some flexibility for me to come on a backup day when the clouds have cleared.
Steps to booking your family photoshoot
Drop me an email telling me the day you want to book me for and pay the £100 booking fee* to secure it. After the photoshoot I’ll provide you with a password to your free online gallery where you can select your photos.
*This is a non refundable booking fee, not a deposit.
Options for your photoshoot
I can take photos outside and in a more relaxed manner, or I can take photos indoors and use studio lighting
Relaxed location photography (mostly outdoors)
This could be photos taken at your favourite beauty spot (or one I suggest), in your garden or at an Air BnB that you are staying at. The photos can be indoors or outdoors, but they will be more relaxed and quicker outdoors as I won’t have to get as technical with lighting, which would slow everything down. Typically these photos are a lot more free, fun and a little less traditional.
Indoor studio photography (in your home)
If you are lucky to have a lot of space in your home (or you are staying in a large holiday accommodation), this option is for people who like more traditional family photos that you would expect to find on a wall in your home for years to come. Professional studio lighting will be used and everyone is arranged in the photo with care and a little patience on your part so that everyone is looking their best for their posed photos.
I start with the largest group and then can do smaller family groups and couples after that. This more structured and slower approach means I can take more time with the details of each photo. I need a minimum clear space of 3×4 metres if I am to set up studio lighting indoors. More space will be required for larger groups.
