Child Whisperer Photography

Child Whisperer Photography is your specialist portrait studio in Kirkby in Ashfield, dedicated to capturing the real, unscripted moments that make family life unique. Serena—formerly a teacher and childcare provider—brings more than 20 years’ experience working with children and families. That background is at the heart of her gentle, playful approach: she knows how to calm nerves, spark genuine smiles and create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone from tiny newborns to lively toddlers can shine. Every portrait experience here is designed as a journey. It starts with a free, no-obligation Discovery Call where Serena listens to your story, learns what matters to you and helps plan a session that suits your family, your style and the way you want to enjoy your images at home. Sessions take place in a cosy home studio close to Mansfield, with a child-led philosophy that allows little ones (and well-behaved pets) to take the lead. If you prefer the outdoors, Serena also offers natural, lifestyle sessions throughout Nottinghamshire—always tailored around naps, mealtimes and the real rhythm of family life. During the shoot you can expect plenty of laughter, gentle direction and a few of Serena’s tried-and-tested ‘tricks’ to get authentic expressions (they even work on dads!). Sessions are unhurried and welcoming—refreshments are provided and everyone is encouraged to be themselves. After the session, the experience continues with a personal Design Consultation and Ordering appointment. Serena presents your images in a cinematic slideshow and helps you create stunning portrait artwork for your home, guiding choices so your favourite images become treasured displays and heirlooms. Although portraiture is the core focus—family, maternity and newborn sessions—Child Whisperer Photography also welcomes fur-babies for Paw-trait sessions when you’d like your pet included in the story. Above all, Serena’s promise is simple: an enjoyable, stress-free experience that results in timeless portraits you’ll adore for years. If you want a portrait studio that understands children, values connection and specialises in creating beautiful, meaningful artwork, start your portrait journey with Child Whisperer Photography in Kirkby in Ashfield.
