Lets’s
have fun!

Photography should feel calm, fun, and welcoming.

I believe photo sessions should feel relaxed and enjoyable, especially for families with young children. My work is rooted in connection, trust, and creating an experience that feels supportive for both parents and children.

‘ Hey I’m Louise! 

I’m Louise, the photographer behind Hibbard Photography. I’m a mum of two and understand first-hand how overwhelming family life can feel. That insight shapes everything I do.

Over the years, I’ve created a studio environment that feels warm, homely, and calm, a space where families can slow down, children can be themselves, and parents feel instantly at ease.

How I got here.

A woman with glasses and a camera around her neck is outdoors with two young children, one holding her hand and the other sitting on her lap, all smiling and playing in a green, wooded area.

What matters to me.

My priority is always client happiness. I value transparency, ease, and trust, which is why all my sessions include all digital images as standard. I want families to leave feeling relaxed, reassured, and happy, knowing they’ve had a positive experience as well as beautiful photos to keep.

What it’s like to work with me.

Sessions are child-led, unrushed, and friendly. I guide gently when needed but allow space for natural moments to unfold. Parents often arrive feeling nervous and leave surprised by how easy and enjoyable the experience feels.
