# Charlie May Photography

Charlie May Photography is a specialist family and children's photography business based in Ashford, Surrey. Run by Charlotte ('Charlie'), a photographer with a unique background of ten years working as a nanny, the studio offers a distinctive blend of professional expertise and genuine understanding of working with children.

Operating from a home studio in Ashford, Charlie captures both carefully composed portraits and candid family moments, with a particular strength in outdoor photography. Her service portfolio spans the full lifecycle of family photography, from maternity and newborn sessions through birthday celebrations and formal family portraits, to Christmas shoots and pet photography.

What sets Charlie May Photography apart is the proprietor's deep experience with children. Rather than being an afterthought to a general photography practice, working with young people is central to her offering. This background enables her to create a comfortable, relaxed environment where children feel at ease, resulting in genuine, natural images rather than forced poses. Parents appreciate this expertise, knowing their session will be managed by someone who understands child behaviour and development.

The business also extends to sitters' portraits, outdoor lifestyle photography, and commercial content creation for businesses. This range reflects Charlie's versatility whilst maintaining her core focus on family-centred photography. The combination of technical photography skill, artistic vision, and genuine rapport with children creates a service that's both professional and uniquely personal.
