There’s something so heartwarming about photographing families in the thick of the early years—when tiny feet leave big prints in the sand and every cuddle is clung to in all the best ways.
A beach family session at Camber Sands captures the joy, movement, and magic of life with a toddler in a relaxed and natural way.

Why Choose a Beach Family Photoshoot with Your Toddler?
Endless Space to Roam – The wide, open stretch of Camber Sands is perfect for adventurous little ones. With soft golden dunes and sweeping views, there’s room to run, play, and explore freely.
Relaxed, Candid Moments – Rather than posed smiles, I aim to capture the in-between moments. The giggles, the cuddles, the wind in their hair, and those fleeting expressions that are gone in a blink!
Timeless Scenery – With its rolling dunes and soft tides, Camber Sands offers a calm, dreamy backdrop. Whether you’re wading in the shallows or chasing a toddler down the beach, the setting adds a sense of softness and serenity to your gallery.
A Family Session to Remember
This session felt especially joyful. Full of laughter, barefoot adventures, and a whole lot of love! I joined this beautiful family of three for a golden evening wander at Camber Sands, capturing their connection as they played, walked hand-in-hand, and soaked in the sea air.
Their little one was just the right age. Curious, expressive, and full of personality (with a fearless curiosity for the many, many seagulls that crashed our shoot!). These are the kinds of moments that can so easily slip by without being captured, which is why early years sessions like this are such a gift.
When’s the Best Time to Book an Early Years Session?
There’s no right or wrong age! Every milestone brings its own kind of magic. But if your little one is between 6–18 months and just starting to explore the world around them, it’s a beautiful stage to photograph. We can create magic in the dunes, at home, in a local field, or somewhere meaningful to your family.

Early Years Beach Photography FAQ
Any time from around 6 months to 2 years is a beautiful window! Whether baby is sitting, crawling, toddling or sprinting, we’ll capture them just as they are.
Keep it soft, simple, and comfortable! Neutrals and natural tones photograph beautifully. (Try to avoid busy patterns and large logos.) Bare feet are always welcome on the sand!
Absolutely! These sessions are all about connection and story, so the more the merrier! Camber Sands happily allows four-legged family members to join you for walks along a designated stretch of beach.
I’m based in Maidstone, Kent, but I shoot across Kent, Sussex, and London. Camber Sands is one of my favourite spots for relaxed family sessions!
