Relaxed Family Portraits — Dogs Welcome
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 and rushed. Quite a few families from Market Harborough tell us they’ve delayed booking for years because they wanted something that felt considered and meaningful, not a photoshoot that didn’t reflect their family properly or produce artwork they’d feel 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. Our distraction-free studio is based in nearby Lutterworth, around 13 miles from Market Harborough and typically a 20 to 25 minute drive, making it an easy, straightforward visit. For many families locally, the finished photographs matter just as much as the experience itself, especially when the images are going to live on their walls every day. 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 in Lutterworth, we’re an easy drive from Market Harborough and we’re known for calm, guided sessions and finished wall art you’ll love at home.
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.
There’s no hard sell, just a simple, elegant range of products with both traditional and modern finishes, and some digital special offers too. All the choices are yours.
Transform your living space with stunning, professionally captured images that bring warmth and personality to your home. Displaying cherished memories and beautiful portraits adds a personal touch, creating a welcoming environment you can enjoy and share with loved ones every day.
Families come to our Lutterworth studio because the experience is designed to remove pressure, not add to it. Every session is calm, private, and fully guided, so you never have to worry about what to do or how everyone should pose, even if children or dogs have their own ideas.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be looked after by John personally. That means the relaxed, natural style you see in the gallery is exactly what you’ll receive, whether you’re booking a family session, a dog portrait, or both together.

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.

We work patiently, keep the pace relaxed, and let genuine moments unfold naturally — those are often the images people end up loving the most.
