Natural & Joyful Family Photography in Norfolk, London and Beyond
Capture the beautiful chaos, the quiet cuddles, and the real love that defines your family.
Why Choose a Family Photography Session?
Because these moments won’t stay little forever — but the memories can.


Document Life As It Is Now
Life moves fast. One day, they’re climbing into your lap for cuddles, and the next they’re off making their own adventures. A family photography session freezes this chapter in time — the cheeky grins, the messy curls, the tight hugs. This isn’t about staged smiles; it’s about connection.
A Relaxed Experience That Brings Out the Real You
My approach is calm, natural, and fun. Whether we’re in your home or out in the wild countryside of Norfolk/Suffolk/Cambridgeshire/etc.], I guide you into moments that feel real, so your photos reflect the true essence of your family.
No awkward posing. No stress. Just you being yourselves.
Timeless Keepsakes You’ll Treasure Forever
These are more than just photos. They’re heirlooms. Whether you frame them on your walls or flip through a printed album years later, they’ll take you right back to these messy, magical days.
You’ll be so glad you did this — and so will your future self.
What to Expect During Your Family Shoot
Before the Session
I’ll guide you through everything — from what to wear to how to prep your little ones (spoiler: bribery helps, but it’s not required 😉). We’ll choose a location that suits your vibe — whether that’s cozy at home, a wildflower field, or your favourite woodland walk.
During the Session
Expect laughter, cuddles, play, and a few silly prompts from me to bring out those genuine reactions. It’s more like a fun outing than a formal shoot.
After the Session
You’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery of images that celebrate your family just as you are — full of personality, love, and warmth. High-resolution downloads, wall art options, and albums are all available.

What our clients say
EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews 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. Jensen Papa06/10/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Xiarm Photography for our family portraits at the Norfolk Lavender Farm this past spring, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! The entire experience, from start to finish, was seamless and enjoyable. 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. We highly recommend Xiarm to anyone looking for a talented photographer who knows how to turn special moments into art. Thank you so much for these wonderful memories!

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.
