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 13 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.
