Andrew Collier Photography

I'm Andrew, a lifestyle family and pet portrait photographer based in the picturesque village of Lymm, nestled near Warrington in Cheshire. My passion lies in capturing the essence of families and their beloved pets in their natural environment. I'm frequently asked what distinguishes "lifestyle portraits" from traditional studio family portraits. For me, lifestyle photography goes beyond simply posing individuals; it's about weaving a visual narrative that encapsulates your unique story.

Lifestyle portraits aim to capture the genuine connections and interactions within a family, showcasing their individual personalities and the special bonds they share. Imagine laughing together, playing a favourite game, or simply enjoying each other's company - these are the moments I seek to immortalize.

I believe in the power of natural light and real locations to create timeless and authentic images. Whether it's your home garden, a sprawling park, or a cherished childhood memory spot, I work collaboratively with you to find the perfect backdrop that authentically reflects your family's story.

Why Choose Lifestyle Portrait Photography?

My approach to portrait photography is rooted in making the experience comfortable and enjoyable for everyone involved. My goal is to capture candid moments that showcase the genuine love and laughter that define your family dynamic.

There's a unique magic in capturing those fleeting expressions, unguarded interactions, and playful moments that make up the tapestry of your family life.

I understand that pets are treasured members of the family, often acting as confidants and furry companions. I strongly believe in highlighting the special bond between pets and their owners, creating portraits that celebrate their unconditional love and companionship.

My sessions are tailored to your preferences. We'll discuss your vision, clothing choices, and preferred locations to ensure your portraits reflect your unique style and personality. Whether you envision a relaxed and casual setting or a more formal approach, I'm dedicated to bringing your vision to life.

Making Your House a Home

Beautiful portraits deserve to be displayed and enjoyed. I understand the importance of creating a lasting memory and enhancing the ambiance of your home. From classic frames to contemporary designs, I offer a wide range of options to complement your decor and showcase your treasured portraits.

When's the Best Time for a Family Portrait?

There are many reasons to celebrate life's milestones with a family portrait session:

• Big Family Celebrations: Whether it's a milestone birthday, a golden wedding anniversary, or a joyous family reunion, a portrait session can capture the essence of these special occasions.
• Updating Your Portraits: As time passes, families grow and evolve. A family portrait session is a wonderful way to document these changes and create new memories.
• First Time Family Portraits: New additions to the family, such as a newborn baby or adopted child, or children starting school for the first time, are truly significant events that deserve to be commemorated with beautiful portraits.

Let's work together to create a timeless and meaningful portrait experience that captures the unique essence of your family.
