Freeformimages Photography

Freeformimages Photography is a portrait specialist based in Bideford, led by Laura Farmer. With a warm, down‑to‑earth approach and a background in design and photography that spans more than two decades, Laura creates natural, emotive portraits that reflect the personality and stories of the people she photographs. Her work is defined by a contemporary, relaxed style — honest images that feel authentic rather than staged. Laura believes the best portraits come from connection. Before every shoot she takes time to talk through ideas, locations and what matters most to you — whether that’s a windswept North Devon beach, a favourite woodland, the moors or a cosy spot that’s special to your family. Her relaxed manner helps even the most camera-shy people feel at ease, so smiles and small, true moments shine through. She loves capturing babies, children, families, couples and friendship groups, always looking for the little gestures and expressions that tell your story. Working with Freeformimages is friendly and personal. Laura guides poses with gentle direction, encouraging natural interaction rather than forced looks. She favours natural light and the beautiful outdoors of the South West, but also tailors shoots to the locations and moods you prefer. After the session she applies thoughtful editing to present a cohesive collection of images that preserve the feeling of the day — rich in colour, atmosphere and emotion. Beyond the camera, Laura’s experience in design means she cares about how your images are displayed and enjoyed. She can help you choose prints or albums and offers options to present your portraits as wall art or keepsake albums designed to be treasured for years. Her aim is simple: to give you portraits that will be passed down and looked at again and again. If you’re in Bideford or the wider North Devon area and you value portraits that are natural, creative and emotive, Freeformimages is focused on delivering a relaxed, professional experience that puts you first.
