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.

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.

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.

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.
Our current studio offer includes:

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.
