FAMILY SESSIONS
Thank you for visiting Dandelion Photography. I’m Ellie, and I have been photographing families in Cheshire and the North West for the last 9 years. My family sessions are done outdoors on location, or at home - or both. You can include both family & child portraits in your session - the session customised around your wishlist.
Children feel very relaxed at home and on location - to them it's just a regular day or family walk. That's how I get the best out of them and by getting to know their personality so I can let it shine through in the photos.
All the information you need is here, but please get in touch if you have any questions.
meet Ellie
I am a professional photographer specialising in families, newborns,plus branding &commercial photography. I’m also a mum to a 5 year old boy and 9 year old girl, who are both my muses and my most difficult clients!
my style
I aim to captures the “now” of childhood, for images for you to treasure. I have an environmental natural style, as I love to use the beautiful landscape in my photos. I love clients who appreciate the everlasting joy that comes from capturing their child in that moment in time.
a relaxed vibe
Client often say how I make them feel relaxed straight away. Maybe because I’m open and honest to a fault, and also rather self-deprecating. And I find children fascinating because of the way they say exactly what they think and live completely in the moment.
“A few years later, and I still look at my photos and well up!!
They capture such a special memory for me. We will cherish them forever. ”
