Rated 4.8 Out of 5 Stars By Real Families
Relaxed Family & Dog Portraits
Studio Established 2008
Getting family photos organised can feel harder than it should. Many parents worry about whether the children will cooperate, whether everyone will feel comfortable, or whether the whole experience will feel awkward or rushed. Quite a few Coventry families tell us they’ve delayed booking because everyday life already feels full, and they didn’t want a photoshoot to become another source of pressure rather than something to enjoy.
That’s exactly why our sessions are calm, private, and fully guided from start to finish. Our studio is based just outside Coventry in nearby Lutterworth, around 20 miles away and typically a 30 minute drive, making it an easy, straightforward visit for many families. For families used to busy routines, shared spaces, and constant noise, having a quiet, appointment-only studio makes the experience feel far more relaxed and manageable. There’s no pressure to perform and no stiff posing, just time, patience, and gentle direction so everyone can relax and be themselves. When people feel at ease, genuine connection follows and those moments naturally become beautiful framed wall art you’ll enjoy seeing in your home every day.
Based just outside Coventry in Lutterworth, our studio offers a relaxed, out-of-the-city setting with calm, guided sessions and finished wall art you’ll enjoy in your home every day.
Visited John recently with my partner and our two young daughters (5 & 2). Despite our daughters not wanting to sit still, he got great photos we’ll cherish forever.

And if you’re not sure what to wear, when to book, or whether your two-year-old will cooperate (they might not, and that’s okay)—we’ll talk through it all. This is your session, not ours so give us a call to go over your ideas.
The actual photo shoot was the most relaxed I have felt for a long time with my 2 children… He got us to enjoy time together and have a laugh.

There’s no hard sell, just a simple, elegant range of products with both traditional and modern finishes, and some digital special offers too. All the choices are yours.
“I have gone back today to view the pictures I honestly found it very hard to pick. His work is amazing and its left me feeling emotional in a good way. His prices are reasonable and affordable.

We booked John for a dog portrait/couples shoot. John provided an overview price list up front with a follow up one for the detailed choices available. John was welcoming and professional throughout and patient in setting up the shots with our border collie. We came back about a week later to look at the shots and loved them all. Loads of choice in sizes, finishes and styles. We opted for the digital package containing all the shots taken on the day (both colour and b&w) so that we could make calendars & mugs etc for family. These were high resolution so no detail lost. Great photos, friendly and professional service. Highly recommend.

I booked a session with John Jenkins Photography for photos of me and my two Golden Retrievers, Kasper and Stanley. The whole experience felt relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. There was no pressure, no rushing, just a lovely atmosphere that made it easy to just be ourselves. What really stood out was how brilliant John was with the dogs. Kasper and Stanley aren't exactly known for doing as they're told, but John was patient, playful, and clearly knew how to get the best out of them. The photos captured both dogs' personalities beautifully, and some of the shots of the three of us together are exactly what I'd hoped for. If you're thinking about booking a pet photography session, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John Jenkins Photography. Truly lovely work.Posted on Google![]()

John has a lovely studio in Lutterworth with plenty of parking nearby (and next door to the Real Ale Classroom in case you're early for your appointment!). There are stairs so maybe tricky for people with limited mobility. He immediately put us and the dogs at ease. He clearly is used to working with dogs as he had lots of tricks to get them to settle and focus on the camera. We are delighted with our photos as he has really captured the different personalities of our two boys and as fox red labradors, they look amazing against the black background. Definitely recommend John for a photo shoot.Posted on Google![]()

My son gave me a voucher for my birthday. We travelled from Leighton Buzzard and met the rest of our family at the studio. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and John made everyone feel at ease. He was brilliant with our two granddaughters (6 & 3) and really captured who they are. We have some amazing photos of them, the whole family (including a 5 month old puppy) along with individual photos. The whole experience was great and a lot of fun, we would definitely recommend John.Posted on Google![]()

Had a fantastic time at Johns studio, it was a very laid back session with a 12 week old puppy at the time. Photos that were taken were amazing, especially due to my dog being all black, John managed to capture all his features. Very pleased and would highly recommend. ThanksPosted on Google![]()

We travelled from Burbage for a family and dog photoshoot. The whole experience was fantastic. He managed the dog well which fora. large puppy is no mean feat. He provided clear direction for the poses. The studio was well equipped and comfortable. The end result was beautiful and the prices were excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Leicestershire area.Posted on Google![]()

We had a large family shoot and John was wonderful. He was able to engage the little ones, organise the big ones and take beautiful photographs. It was a emotional experience having all of my family together and John gave as much time as we needed, nothing was to much for him. It was a totally wonderful day, delivered by a expert photographer. Thank you John, we loved it . ElaineVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Your session begins with a relaxed, fully guided family photoshoot lasting up to an hour, followed by a private cinematic viewing where you choose your favourite images. There’s no pressure to buy, you simply select what you love.
Our current studio offer includes:
You can book the session for yourself or choose a gift voucher if you’re buying for someone special.
Life moves quickly, especially with children, dogs, and family life. The moments you want to remember – the little expressions, the laughter, the connection – they change faster than we realise. It’s often only later, when those stages have passed, that we wish we’d captured them properly while they were still happening.
The sooner you create your family portraits, the sooner you can enjoy them as beautiful wall art in your home. Seeing those images on your walls, not on a screen – brings a quiet moment of happiness, a smile, and a reminder of what matters most, every single day. This is artwork you don’t outgrow or move on from; it becomes part of your home and part of your family story, something you can treasure for years and pass down long into the future.
Our studio sessions are deliberately limited so every family receives the time, care, and attention they deserve, from the photoshoot itself to the finished artwork on your wall. If you’ve been thinking about booking a photoshoot “one day”, this is your sign to make it happen, while the moment still feels like now, and turn today’s memories into wall art you’ll love for a lifetime.
If you’re travelling from Coventry, you’ll find our Lutterworth studio is a calm, welcoming space designed to make family photos feel easy. It’s private, appointment-only, and fully guided so you can relax while we capture natural family portraits (and dogs are always welcome too).
If you’re worried about how your children will behave, you’re not alone and you don’t need to stress about it. We’ll guide you gently throughout, keep things relaxed, and take the lead so you’re never wondering what to do. The best moments are usually the unplanned ones.
