Stress-Free Family & Dog Photography
18 Years Serving Local Families
Getting family photos organised can feel more stressful than it should. You might be worrying about whether the kids will sit still, whether your dog will behave, or whether the whole thing will feel awkward and forced. Many families tell us they put it off for years because they’re afraid it’ll turn into chaos, or that they’ll go through all that effort and still not end up with wall art they’re proud to display in their home.
That’s exactly why our sessions are designed to be calm, private, and fully guided from start to finish. In our distraction-free Lutterworth studio, there’s no pressure to perform and no stiff posing, just time, patience, and gentle direction so everyone can relax and be themselves. When people feel at ease, genuine connection and natural smiles follow, and those are the moments that turn into beautiful wall art you’ll love seeing in your home every day.
📍 Our studio is in Lutterworth, easy to reach from Leicester and the surrounding towns. We’re proud to be a trusted local portrait studio for families who want more than just a snapshot.

And if you’re not sure what to wear, when to book, or whether your two-year-old will cooperate (they might not, and that’s okay)—we’ll talk through it all. This is your session, not ours.

Had a fantastic time at Johns studio, it was a very laid back session with a 12 week old puppy at the time. Photos that were taken were amazing, especially due to my dog being all black, John managed to capture all his features. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

We had a large family shoot and John was wonderful. He was able to engage the little ones, organise the big ones and take beautiful photographs. It was a emotional experience having all of my family together and John gave as much time as we needed, nothing was to much for him. It was a totally wonderful day, delivered by a expert photographer. Thank you John, we loved it . ElainePosted on Gary MarrionTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We won a competition for a dog photoshoot with John, and it was such a fantastic experience from start to finish.

The pictures captured our dogs’ personalities perfectly, and we’ll treasure them forever. Highly recommend!Posted on Ashleigh TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We won a dog photoshoot competition at John Jenkins Photography which we thoroughly enjoyed. We visited as a family with our 2 labradors, age 5 and 3 months. John was extremely patient and worked wonders capturing lots of fantastic photos, despite the chaos with the labradors. We felt comfortable and at ease during the photoshoot, there was no rush and we had a variety of family photos, single photos, and portraits of the dogs. We would definitely recommend.Posted on Natalie O’SheaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Hi, I’m John, the photographer behind John Jenkins Photography. With over 30 years of experience, I opened my Lutterworth studio in 2008, following 10 years as a professional wedding and portrait photographer. Over that time, I’ve photographed thousands of families and dogs, which means I know how to keep sessions relaxed, adaptable, and genuinely enjoyable, even when children or pets have their own ideas.
I specialise in family and dog portrait photography, creating natural, unforced images designed to become beautiful wall art for your home. Every session is calm, private, and fully guided, and you’re looked after by me, one photographer from start to finish.
I’m a member of the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) and the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) – professional bodies that promote high standards of skill, ethics, and professionalism within the industry. With 142 5-star Google reviews, and experience as both a dog owner and a parent, my focus is always on giving you a stress-free experience and portraits you’ll truly love.
Life moves quickly, especially with children, dogs, and family life. The moments you want to remember – the little expressions, the laughter, the connection – they change faster than we realise. It’s often only later, when those stages have passed, that we wish we’d captured them properly while they were still happening.
The sooner you create your family portraits, the sooner you can enjoy them as beautiful wall art in your home. Seeing those images on your walls, not on a screen – brings a quiet moment of happiness, a smile, and a reminder of what matters most, every single day. This is artwork you don’t outgrow or move on from; it becomes part of your home and part of your family story, something you can treasure for years and pass down long into the future.
Our studio sessions are deliberately limited so every family receives the time, care, and attention they deserve, from the photoshoot itself to the finished artwork on your wall. If you’ve been thinking about booking a photoshoot “one day”, this is your sign to make it happen, while the moment still feels like now, and turn today’s memories into wall art you’ll love for a lifetime.
