Vicky Holmes Photography Portrait Photographer for babies, children and families.

Essex based family photographer specialising in portrait photography for newborns, babies, children and families. My style of photography is natural unstaged imagery that captures the true spirit of your loved ones in an environment that is comfortable for them, whether that's in your own home or at a beautiful park. I get an enormous amount of joy out of creating beautiful photographic memories that will last you a lifetime - it's a labour of absolute love!

Well, this was rather lovely to receive. 🄰
When I photograph a business, getting great images is obviously the goal. But how people feel while I’m taking them matters just as much.
Most people aren’t naturally comfortable in front of a camera. They don’t need to be. Making the whole experience feel relaxed, enjoyable and effortless is very much part of my job.
So when Jakob, CEO of Broadlab, left me these kind words after photographing the team, I may have been just a little bit delighted. ā¤ļø
If your business needs new photography, whether that’s headshots, personal branding or a whole library of images that actually captures the people behind the business. I’d love to hear from you.

Corporate photography. Without looking too corporate.
A few favourites from three shoots with the brilliant team at Broadlab.
Headshots, people, personality, working moments and plenty of colour. A whole library of imagery that actually feels like them.
If your business could do with the same, you know where I am. šŸ˜‰

Product photography hits a little differently when the products were made by your daughter. ā¤ļø
These are the 2026 Christmas wreaths from Flowers by Izabel — designed and handmade by Izzy, who at 17 is somehow managing to grow her floristry business alongside studying for her A-levels.
And when I say handmade, I mean handmade. She starts with a wire frame, builds the moss base, then cuts and attaches every piece of fresh fir and eucalyptus before wiring in all the details you see here.
There are three designs this year, each with a corresponding table arrangement, plus garlands available too.
So yes, I was the product photographer for this one… but perhaps an ever so slightly biased one. šŸ˜‚
If you’re starting to think about Christmas, head over to Flowers by Izabel for all the details and ordering. šŸŽ„

I said what I said šŸ˜¬šŸ˜‚

For me, family photography is at its best when there’s space to move, play, wander off, mess about and forget about the camera for a while.

Being outdoors gives me all of that. Beautiful light, gorgeous backdrops and, most importantly, families behaving like themselves rather than feeling like they have to pose for me.

Does that mean you can’t get gorgeous family photographs in a studio? Of course not.

But give me a field, some lovely light and a family being themselves any day. ā¤ļø

What do you think? outdoors or studio? Let me know in the comments šŸ‘‡

Hi. I’m Vicky, family and business photographer. I’m really good at putting people at ease and I have a fairly relentless ā€œVicky’s eye viewā€. I’ll leave no stone unturned in pursuit of the best pictures for you.
This page is for people who want beautiful photography that still feels like them.
Follow along if you’d like to see what happens when being comfortable in front of the camera matters more than being perfect.

Some traditions are too important to let go. šŸ„‚šŸ˜‚

Today they go back to school.
They’re now 13 and 17.
And yes, I’m still putting up the bunting and cracking open the Prosecco.

Obviously I love them dearly.
Obviously I’ve loved having them home.
Obviously I’m absolutely delighted they’re going back. šŸ˜‚

Please tell me I’m not the only mum feeling just a tiny bit excited today?

60 years married. ā¤ļø

Mum and Dad celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary, with all three of their children together.

60 years of marriage, three children, a whole lot of life lived in between… and somehow we’re all still smiling šŸ˜‚

Feeling very lucky to have this photo of the five of us. Happy 60th Mum & Dad. What an achievement. ā¤ļø

I think autumn might officially be creeping in… šŸ‚

I absolutely love photographing beautiful products, especially when they’ve been created by my very talented daughter Flowers by Izabel 🧔

Her autumn wreaths are here and I think we can all agree, this one deserves a front door moment.

And if you have a product, brand or business that deserves to look this good too, you know where to find me. šŸ“ø

Pretty pictures are important.
But they’re not why families come back.
These portraits are just one small part of the story. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of photographing this beautiful family together too.
The biggest compliment I can receive isn’t someone booking once.
It’s when they come back.
Because they know their child will be able to relax.
Because nobody has to perform.
Because the session feels more like spending an hour together than standing in front of a camera.
The photographs are simply what happens when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves.
And that’s always been the part I care about most. ā¤ļø
