My name is Victoria Claydon, but most people call me Vicky.

​

I ve been photographing children and families in the Bournemouth and Poole area for over 15 years, creating simple, relaxed sessions where kids can be themselves.

​

I think sessions should be fun, not stuffy, I am not expecting your child to come in and be anything else but a kid. In fact I encourage it - you want your final gallery to be the real them.

​

I have lots of experience working with children and those with SEND, and always make sure sessions are calm, friendly, and supportive.

​

My photography style focuses on connection and detail.

​

Focused Portraits reflects my signature style — intimate, detail-rich and intentionally composed imagery.

​

I prioritise close framing, light and genuine emotion to create portraits that feel modern yet timeless. Every session is designed to keep the focus exactly where it belongs — on your child.

 

I love capturing close-up portraits, tiny features, natural expressions and the little moments that tell the bigger story.

​

Rather than overly posed images, sessions are relaxed and child-led, allowing genuine emotion and personality to shine through in a timeless way.

​

I also offer Website design, I have various packages and payment plans in place as I understand how difficult it can be when first starting your new business.

 

​​If you have any questions no matter what they are , just pop me a message. I look forward to meeting you soon :)
