Heirloom Family Photography in Essex
One day, your children won’t reach for your hand the same way.
They won’t fit on your lap.
They won’t laugh quite as freely at the little things.
And you’ll wish you had paused — just for a moment.
As a professional family photographer in Colchester, Essex, I create timeless portraits for families who want to hold onto these memories forever.
Whether your children are toddlers, teenagers or somewhere in between, your story deserves to be documented beautifully.


From Newborn to Family Portraits
Many of the families I photograph first come to me for newborn photography in Colchester — and return year after year as their family grows.
Your family photography session can celebrate:
-
First birthdays
-
Milestone moments
-
Annual family portraits
-
Multi-generational portraits
-
Just because this season matters
Because documenting your family shouldn’t stop after the newborn stage.
Your story continues.
Katie Murphy recommends Toni Field Photography {Maternity & Baby Photographer}.
Toni was professional, fun and really made us feel so comfortable. Especially with her understanding of us having a new born and needing to stop for feeds.
Her confidence and care with baby was exceptional.
Thank you so much for capturing such special memories for us.
100/10. Would definitely recommend!!!
We had the most wonderful experience with Toni, who captured the most beautiful photos of our little one. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a photographer with both talent and dedication.
My experience with Toni has been incredible from the start. She provides a warm, caring and friendly service and makes you feel right at home in her studio.
Her experience with newborns is amazing, she is gentle and is totally baby led, putting the baby in charge! I have also learnt some baby tips along the way!
Highly recommend anyone wanting newborn photography done to contact Toni, I was super specific on what I liked and Toni knew how to achieve it. I can honestly say I loved every pic – 5 stars! X
We cannot recommend Toni highly enough! I was really worried baby Albert would not behave at the shoot but Toni totally put us at ease and we got through the whole session without any tears from Albert!

WHY MATERNITY & BABIES?
Hello! I'm Toni Field, a 55-year-old portrait photographer with over 15 years behind the lens.
My journey into motherhood led me to specialise in Maternity and Newborn Baby photography back in 2010. I am obsessed with the challenge of capturing those fleeting, precious moments—that unrepeated journey from babyhood to childhood. As my own very patient daughter can testify, I strive to capture the love, energy, humour, and warmth that children bring to our lives.
Every session is treated with the utmost care and creativity.
For your peace of mind, I hold a BA Hons and postgraduate certificate in Fine Art, alongside comprehensive Newborn Safety Posing training. I am an associate of and multi award winner of 'International Portrait Masters'.
