Looking for photography locations when planning a family photo shoot can be quite overwhelming. There are so many things to consider - parking, accessibility and most importantly the beauty factor. Don't worry, I've got you covered.


As a family photographer I shot many beautiful family sessions in quite a few locations around Kent. Here are my top 5 most favourite spots:


Camber Sands


With its vast sandy beaches and gorgeous grassy dunes, Camber Sands is an amazing location to use for your family photo session. Kids love it and there are lots of parking spaces available.

Elmley Nature Reserve, Faversham


Elmley Nature Reserve is on the list of my dream location for a reason: it offers a beautiful poetic vibe to the photos by being such a unique looking place. During mid-October you can watch the murmuration of starlings, an amazingly beautiful phenomenon.

You will need to enquire with Elmley Reserve about shooting there, and a fee will apply.

Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve


This location looks beautiful during summer time, when wild flowers are in bloom.

There is limited parking space available, but the parking is free of charge.

Another beautiful sea-side location with gorgeous white cliffs. Free parking available very close to the beach.

Leybourne Lakes Country Park, Aylesford


This location is so overlooked by photographers, but is gorgeous in summer and autumn. It has so many nice spots for pictures and I just love shooting there.

Plenty of parking space available and a café to have a drink after the session :)
