Family Portraits Rugby - Why John Jenkins Photography?

The Experience

Rugby  family portraits at John Jenkins Photography Studio

At John Jenkins Photography, we believe that a truly unforgettable family photoshoot in Rugby is about more than just capturing smiles — it’s about creating real moments and lasting memories in a setting where you and your family feel completely at ease.

Whether it’s your children’s first studio experience, a milestone moment, or simply a beautiful way to celebrate your family as it is right now, our experience is designed to be relaxed, personal, and joyful from start to finish.

What Happens During Your Photo Shoot?

🕐 1-Hour Session with Flexibility

  • Two outfit changes

  • Two background changes (including our dramatic black backdrop)

🎯 Relaxed First Half

We begin with a fun and engaging session, perfect for younger kids and families who want to ease into the experience. We play games, chat, and keep things flowing naturally — so you can relax and just enjoy being together.

🎞 Artistic Second Half

Then we transition to a more focused and emotional session using a rich dark background. These are the portraits that truly stop people in their tracks — powerful, expressive, and timeless.

Your Private Cinematic Viewing

Just a few days after your shoot, you’ll return to the studio for a cinematic viewing session. This is when you’ll come back to the studio for a personal viewing, where we’ll help you choose your favourite images. 

Your photographs are professionally edited and presented in an HD movie format projected onto our big screen. It’s an emotional and joyful moment for families to see their images brought to life — often with laughter, sometimes with tears.

From there, you can select your favourite images and choose from:

  • Elegant classic frames

  • Contemporary wall art and canvases

  • Stunning albums

  • Flexible digital formats

From handcrafted wall art to framed prints and albums, everything we offer is designed to complement your home and style. There’s no pressure — just honest guidance and space to decide what you truly love.

Why John Jenkins Photography Over Other Studios?

One Photographer. One Vision. Always.

At larger Rugby photo studios, you never know who will be photographing your session. But at John Jenkins Photography, every image on our website was taken by John — and he’ll be the one photographing your family too.

You can trust that you’re getting the quality, warmth, and professionalism you see in our portfolio — no surprises, no hand-offs, no compromise.

Personal Attention. No Studio Production Lines.

Other studios may offer flashy deals or fast-paced shoots with limited time and less personalisation. We don’t do rushed. We take time to get to know your family and deliver a one-to-one service that makes the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.

🐶 Pet-Friendly Studio

Have a four-legged family member? We love dogs — and we’re one of the few family photography studios in the Leicester area that specializes in both family and dog photography. You’re welcome to include your dog as part of the session.

💬 What Makes Us Different?

At John Jenkins Photography, we do things differently. We’re not part of a big chain or a high-street photo factory. We’re a local, independent studio where every session is personal—and every photograph is taken by me, John Jenkins.

When you book a photoshoot here, you’re not passed from one photographer to another. You get the same experienced professional (that’s me!) behind the camera every time. In fact, every image you see on this website is one I’ve taken.

You’ll have the studio all to yourselves—no back-to-back bookings, no distractions, and no rushing. Just a calm, relaxed space where you and your family can be yourselves.

And when it comes to choosing your images, there’s no pushy sales pitch. Just beautiful, genuine portraits and simple packages that let you pick what you truly love.

“One Photographer. One Family. One Studio—All About You.”
