Choosing a photographer is about so much more than ticking a box on a to do list.
Whether it is your wedding day, a family session in the park, or brand images that will represent your business to the world, you are trusting someone to capture real moments, real emotion, and real memories.
That is why so many people across Nottinghamshire and beyond are turning to Cherished Photography by Claudia.
Behind the lens is Claudia Harrison-White, a relaxed documentary photographer known for her natural, candid and editorial style.
She is a wife, a mum, a proud staffy owner, often found in Doc Martens with a few tattoos peeking through, and never far from a proper cup of tea and a slice of cake.
Most importantly, she genuinely adores what she does. That love shines through in every gallery she delivers. If you are wondering why you should book Cherished Photography by Claudia, here are three very good reasons.
She captures real, honest moments
There is something incredibly special about photographs that feel effortless. The kind where you can almost hear the laughter, feel the squeeze of a hand, or remember exactly what was said just before the shutter clicked. That is the magic of Cherished Photography by Claudia.
Claudia’s relaxed documentary approach means she is not interested in stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, she focuses on natural interaction, genuine connection and all those in between moments that often become the favourites. A quick glance between newlyweds, a child’s uncontrollable giggle, a business owner deep in their craft, these are the details that tell a real story.
Her sessions are designed to feel easy and comfortable. The aim is always to put clients at ease in front of the camera so they can simply be themselves. No awkward “what do I do with my hands” panic, no pressure to perform. Just space to relax, enjoy the moment and trust that it is all being beautifully documented.
This style works seamlessly across weddings, families and brands. On a wedding day, it means the atmosphere, emotion and energy are captured exactly as they unfold. For families, it means authentic memories that reflect personalities rather than perfectly aligned outfits. For brands, it means imagery that feels real, relatable and aligned with the heart of the business. It is photography that feels like you, not a template.
Every session is personal and unique
No two love stories are the same. No two families operate in quite the same delightful chaos. No two businesses have identical goals or personalities. That is why no two sessions with Cherished Photography by Claudia are ever the same.
Claudia is extremely proud of creating a business where individuality is celebrated. She takes the time to understand who is in front of her camera and what matters most to them. That personal touch makes a huge difference, not just in the final images but in the entire experience from enquiry to gallery delivery.
Clients are not treated like bookings in a diary. They are people with stories, milestones and dreams worth documenting properly. Whether it is a countryside wedding in Nottinghamshire, a cosy at home newborn session, or branding photographs to elevate a growing company, each shoot is approached with fresh eyes and genuine enthusiasm.
Her personality plays a big part in this. Being a wife, a mum and a dog owner herself, she understands the beauty and the chaos of family life. She knows that sometimes the best photos happen when children are being wonderfully unpredictable. She also understands the courage it can take for business owners to step in front of the camera. That empathy helps her guide clients gently, confidently and with plenty of reassurance along the way.
For anyone who wants to see more of her work and personality in action, her Facebook page at Cherished Photography by Claudia on Facebook offers a glimpse into recent sessions and the community she has built. It is clear that her clients return not just for the photographs, but for the experience.
She is passionate about supporting both memories and businesses
Photography is not just about pretty pictures. It is about preserving milestones and supporting growth. One of the standout reasons to choose Cherished Photography by Claudia is her genuine passion for both capturing personal memories and helping fellow business owners thrive.
For couples and families, this means creating images that will be looked back on for years to come. The kind of photographs that end up framed on walls, shared with future generations and revisited on anniversaries. There is real heart behind her work, and that emotional investment makes all the difference.
For brands, it means providing powerful, professional imagery that truly reflects what they love to do. Strong visual content is essential in today’s world, especially online. Having photographs that feel authentic and aligned with your values can transform the way potential clients see your business. Claudia understands this deeply and approaches brand sessions with the same care and creativity as she does weddings and family shoots.
Her editorial touch elevates the final result, giving images a polished yet natural finish. They are refined without losing warmth, stylish without feeling staged. It is a careful balance that she has mastered through experience and a clear love for her craft.
Above all, there is a sense of dedication behind Cherished Photography by Claudia. This is not just a job. It is a business she has built with pride, passion and a lot of heart. From the first enquiry to the final gallery, clients are supported every step of the way.
