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. He was amazing with the dogs and even managed to get our stubborn dog to pose(Jax) we loved the experiance. The price is as expected being a premium experience.Posted on Donna TuckerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I won a completion with my family and two dogs. 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.

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.
Two outfit changes
Two background changes (including our dramatic black backdrop)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
