Every family photography session in Norfolk is unique, designed around your lifestyle and favourite places. From preparation tips to the final gallery, I make the whole process simple and enjoyable.
Worried about what to wear or how to get your kids on board? Don’t be. I’ll help you choose a location that fits your family, whether that’s your home, a favourite woodland walk, or a windswept Norfolk beach. You’ll get prep tips, wardrobe ideas, and zero judgment if you bribe your little ones with snacks.
Think less “sit still and smile” and more “let’s hang out and make memories.” We’ll walk, talk, play, and let the kids be themselves. I’ll guide you just enough so it feels natural, never awkward. The best moments come when you forget I’m even there.
No awkward posing. No stress. Just you being yourselves.

EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Posted on Marc Beton08/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words are not enough to say how artistic and skillful Sharmane is in her craft. It was a right decision choosing her and her team in capturing one of our most memorable days of our lives. We requested the team’s service and travelled to our wedding venue in Italy. She is dedicated and passionate on capturing the most raw and genuine moments during our wedding day. Sharmane and her team listened on what we wanted and went above and beyond with the photos and videos provided. Even though the venue has restrictions on having other photographers, we were still amazed on how the team was able to deliver outstanding photographs and videos during the event. If you are not that comfortable infront of a lens, she will make it sure that you will just be natural as possible and not feel pressured with her. Again, I cannot stress enough how amazing the team was and I will not be surprised in the future if she will be one of the best destination wedding photographers in the region.Posted on Jensen Papa06/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Xiarm has a natural gift for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, even the little ones who aren’t always keen on staying still. They managed to capture the most stunning candid moments between us, and the vibrant lavender fields provided the perfect backdrop. The final images are nothing short of breathtaking, with beautiful lighting and a timeless quality that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for their craft truly shine through in the photographs.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of hiring Sharmaine as the photographer for our wedding. We found her to be both professional and personable and a really great addition to the day. She was a very welcome extra guest and we were delighted with the photos she produced. She was able to truly capture what made our day so special and even brought a drone to get some fantastic aerial shots. We were possibly quite tricky clients as we didn't really want traditional posed photos but Sharmaine was very patient and worked closely with us to get what we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Xiarm Films & Photography for any weddings or events. We couldn't have hired better.Posted on Josh Maddocks21/12/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
