Documentary family photography Berkshire
I know exactly what you’re picturing: trying to get your kids to behave, forcing awkward smiles at the camera, and secretly wishing it was all over.
Now… what if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way?
Yes, seriously — read that again.
After years of photographing families, I’ve discovered the secret to magical family photos — and spoiler: it doesn’t involve anyone sitting still or behaving perfectly.
I’m here to put the fun back into family photography, capturing the laughter, chaos, and genuine moments that make your family uniquely you.
Take a look behind the scenes on a family photoshoot with Rebecca Thompson
“Becca was brilliant. Nothing felt staged or forced, we just followed our normal routine in a very relaxed way and somehow the result was a set of exceptional photos. She’s a magician. Ridiculously talented and a wonderfully calming presence.”

The full day in your life: 6 hours
The full shazam.

This is a true “day in your life”, following your family around while you do whatever it is your family loves to do.

I will just be in the background making sure it’s committed to memory forever.

The finest print products
After your photoshoot, your memories…
I am a full service photographer, meaning that I don’t shoot and run. It’s very important to me that after the shoot, you have access to the best products for your memories so that you can enjoy them year after year.
Collections start at £480, including some digitals and credit towards your gorgeous bespoke shop.
You don’t see what I see.
It’s the small details of your life that make you who you are, and when you have a shoot with me, those details stand out. These details can get lost in daily life, but to me, they shine through.
This is why, my most common feedback from a shoot is “ You captured my child’s personality perfectly”
Thoughtful, authentic, you.
This is your story. I just get to tell it through my lens. You can see exactly what I mean here.
