Rated 4.8 Out of 5 Stars By Real Families
Relaxed Family & Dog Portraits
Studio Established 2008
Getting family photos organised can feel harder than it should. Many parents worry about whether the children will cooperate, whether everyone will feel comfortable, or whether the whole experience will feel awkward or rushed. Quite a few Coventry families tell us they’ve delayed booking because everyday life already feels full, and they didn’t want a photoshoot to become another source of pressure rather than something to enjoy.
That’s exactly why our sessions are calm, private, and fully guided from start to finish. Our studio is based just outside Coventry in nearby Lutterworth, around 20 miles away and typically a 30 to 35 minute drive, making it an easy, straightforward visit for many families. For families used to busy routines, shared spaces, and constant noise, having a quiet, appointment-only studio makes the experience feel far more relaxed and manageable. 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 follows and those moments naturally become beautiful framed wall art you’ll enjoy seeing in your home every day.
Based just outside Coventry in Lutterworth, our studio offers a relaxed, out-of-the-city setting with calm, guided sessions and finished wall art you’ll enjoy in your home every day.
Visited John recently with my partner and our two young daughters (5 & 2). Despite our daughters not wanting to sit still, he got great photos we’ll cherish forever.

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 so give us a call to go over your ideas.
The actual photo shoot was the most relaxed I have felt for a long time with my 2 children… He got us to enjoy time together and have a laugh.

“I have gone back today to view the pictures I honestly found it very hard to pick. His work is amazing and its left me feeling emotional in a good way. His prices are reasonable and affordable.

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.
EXCELLENT Based on 141 reviews Posted on Deanna MathiesonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with John at John Jenkins Photography. From start to finish, he made the whole photoshoot feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. John was brilliant with our puppy, Nala, showing plenty of patience and understanding, which made a huge difference and put us all at ease. What we appreciated most was his approach - there was absolutely no pressure or sales push, which we respected and valued highly. The focus was clearly on capturing great moments and making the experience a positive one. We would very much recommend John to anyone looking for a professional, friendly photographer who truly cares about their clients.Posted on Kirsty SpibyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would definitely recommend ❤ so professional and marley loved it. wonderful communication after the photoshot. Fantastic quality of the photos much appreciated of your time and energy 👏Posted on Kirsty WalshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow is all i can say. We won a dog photography shoot and framed photo with John this month. We've been back to see the images and we had no words!!! From the start John was incredibly friendly, and welcoming. Our autistic daughter (who's very unpredictable) loved the shoot and when she had had enough, she had breaks, and John focused on our dog whose photos are beyond what I imagined they'd be. We have purchased all the images (with absolutely no pressure from John, who was adamant there is no expectation to purchase from the beginning). But to lose them would be a tragedy. The photos will be treasured forever and we can't wait to have them on display in our home/in an album. And we're pretty sure they'll be in our families homes too once they see them! 😍 thank you so much 💓Posted on JuanitaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ,1000% recommend John Jenkins. Our photos are absolutely amazing. He made us feel comfortable and right at home. But the one thing that really stood out is that my autistic son felt comfortable. Brilliant brilliant work.Posted on Chris BrendTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited John recently with my partner and our two young daughters (5) & (2) John was great, made us feel at ease from the beginning and despite our daughters not wanting to sit still for long at the best of times he managed to get some great photos that we’ll have as memories forever. Thanks JohnPosted on Terri BeechTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would 100% recommend this photo shoot with john jenkins photography.

It was a very hardworking day especially when both dogs are extremely curious however John was brilliant from start to finish. And today I took my sister and sister in law to look at the photos and omg they were absolutely amazing and it was really hard to pick a favourite as I loved them all. I cannot wait to get them all back. I would like to thank John for doing an amazing jobPosted on Hannah ConnollyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Your session begins with a relaxed, fully guided family photoshoot lasting up to an hour, followed by a private cinematic viewing where you choose your favourite images. There’s no pressure to buy, you simply select what you 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.
If you’re travelling from Coventry, you’ll find our Lutterworth studio is a calm, welcoming space designed to make family photos feel easy. It’s private, appointment-only, and fully guided so you can relax while we capture natural family portraits (and dogs are always welcome too).
If you’re worried about how your children will behave, you’re not alone and you don’t need to stress about it. We’ll guide you gently throughout, keep things relaxed, and take the lead so you’re never wondering what to do. The best moments are usually the unplanned ones.
