Imagine this… a family photo session where there’s no awkward posing, no pressure to be perfect, and no cringe-worthy forced smiles. Just you and your little ones, relaxed, playful, and completely yourselves.

Whether we’re in my Derby based cozy home studio, out in the wild, or capturing the everyday magic in your own home, I focus on real moments—the giggles, the cuddles, the chaos (yes, even the toddler tantrums!). I’ll gently guide where needed, but mostly? I let the kids lead the way. No stress. No high-pressure print sales. Just beautiful, timeless photos you’ll actually want to frame.

I’m Claudia, your maternity, newborn, and family photographer. A mum of two, a lover of good coffee and Jammy Dodgers, and your go-to photographer for natural, heartfelt family memories.

YOUR DERBY PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey you, I’m Claudia Rose! It’s so great to meet you.

Whether you’re looking to capture the love and chaos of family life or need striking images to elevate your brand, I approach every shoot with the same philosophy—getting to know what truly matters to you. No rigid formulas, just time spent understanding your story.

For families, that means capturing the in-between moments—the giggles, the quiet cuddles, the real, unfiltered magic of your everyday. For brands, it means showcasing what makes you stand out—whether that’s the passion behind your food, the atmosphere of your space, or the personality of your team.

A few things I love: My boys, long countryside walks, physical performance podcasts, Jammy Dodgers (I will eat an entire pack, zero regrets), Tarantino movies, and, yes, I have a soft spot for the TV gold that is Outer Banks
