# Michael Rodway Photography
Michael Rodway Photography is a family and children portraiture service based in Hayle, Cornwall, specialising in capturing authentic, candid moments rather than formal, posed photographs. The business serves families throughout the region who want to document their children's growth and family bonds in natural, relaxed settings.
What sets Michael apart is his philosophy of creating a comfortable environment where families can be themselves. He recognises that many people feel self-conscious in front of cameras and actively works to eliminate awkward poses and forced smiles. By using natural surroundings and outdoor locations, he captures genuine expressions and the essence of familial love—moments that truly reflect who families are.
The service is notably accessible and flexible. His £99 shoot includes unlimited time on the day, with two professionally hand-edited, full-resolution digital images that clients can print, share and treasure. Michael provides comprehensive pre-shoot guidance on clothing choices, bringing pets, and managing nerves. Importantly, if weather proves unsuitable, he reschedules at no extra cost, removing financial risk from families.
The post-shoot experience is equally thoughtful. Rather than awkward in-person selection sessions, clients view and choose their images online privately, without Michael present. This removes pressure and allows families to decide comfortably at home.
His approach combines technical skill with genuine understanding of family dynamics, evidenced by testimonials highlighting laughter, joy and timeless memories. Michael doesn't simply take photographs; he creates keepsakes of life's most precious moments.
