Outdoor Family Photoshoots in Reading, UK
Reading, Berkshire based fine art photography
Fun Family photography for Reading, Uk families who…
who laugh a lot, have kids that can’t sit still, and cherish those tender, everyday moments you share together.
Family photoshoots with me are about being together and fully present in this little pocket of time. It’s not about perfection or stiff poses where every strand of hair is perfectly in place. It’s about holding your children close, playing with them, tickle fights, hearing their laughter, feeling the warmth of your partner’s hand in yours — and I’ll be there, gently guiding you so the connection between you can unfold naturally.
All you need to do is be yourself. Don’t ask your children to “behave” or perform; simply let the moments happen. Those are the real memories that will tug at your heart when you look back — the ones that remind you how this chapter of life truly felt.
These photo sessions work beautifully for:
Annual family sessions that document your life as it is right now
Extended family shoots, bringing grandparents and generations together
Celebrating meaningful milestones, from anniversaries to special birthdays
Relaxed outdoor cake smash for first birthdays — focused on memories, movement, and those first wobbly steps
Home photoshoots to capture your family in the most honest way
for those giggles, cuddles and in-between moments
Where in Reading, Berkshire do these photoshoots take place?
My family photography sessions take place around Reading and the surrounding Berkshire parks. I carefully choose outdoor locations that offer beautiful natural light, open space, and gentle interactive elements (logs to climb on, rocks, water element, trees for shade etc.)— places where children can explore, move, and simply be themselves.
Locations are also selected based on what they offer in different seasons, allowing each session to reflect the time of year. I photograph in soft morning or evening light, when everything feels calmer and more beautiful. You’re also very welcome to suggest a location that feels meaningful to your family. If you do, I’ll visit it in advance to understand the light and plan the session thoughtfully, so everything flows naturally on the day. The aim is always the same — a calm, unhurried experience, and photographs that feel natural, connected, and true to your family.
Some of the locations I use around Reading are, Reading University gardens, Thames Riverside walks, prospect park, light water county park in bracknell, lily hill park.
What should we wear for family photos?
Once your family session is booked, I’ll send you a simple styling guide to help you choose outfits from your own wardrobe. It focuses on colours, textures, and combinations that photograph beautifully and feel comfortable to wear.
Once you’ve shortlisted a few options, I’ll review them with you and share a feedback to help you pull everything together. We’ll finalise everything on a short consultation call, taking into account the location, the season, and how your family moves and connects.

We felt like we are meeting a friend
My son's first ever photoshoot was done by Pranali. It was a Milestone photoshoot session. I met Pranali for the first time on the photo shoot day, she was so friendly and made our family feel so comfortable that we felt like we are meeting a friend. I would like to thank Pranali for Capturing amazing photos and for being an amazing person.

“Pranali, thank you very much for memorable photoshoot. She has been professional yet friendly throughout the journey from the moment the photography session was booked until we got our photos. Not just me and my wife but my family and friends back home also like the photos and video she clicked.
I absolutely recommend Pranali if you are in search of photographer for outdoor photography!”
She has been professional yet friendly

When you book your family photography session with me in Reading Berkshire, you will also have the option to add a family film.
Sometimes, photos are not enough to capture those in between moments that only moving pictures can showcase. Approx 3-min family film with raw footage captured from your session and images and set to carefully chosen, licensed music or royalty free music brings is all alive and your children can grow up watching it now and then on your own TV. Imagine watching this film hearing those laughters and sounds 15 years down the lane. :)
If you’d like to explore whether a family film is right for you, simply ask.
