Hello, I'm Barbara
Family Photographer
I’m a wife, mum to three daughters, dog mum to two, a sister, a daughter, and a nurse by trade — so I know first-hand how beautifully busy, emotional and unpredictable life can be.
After living in Germany for many years, I’m now returning to the UK and beginning an exciting new chapter. Family has always been at the heart of my life, and with a big, wonderfully chaotic household, I understand that the most precious moments aren’t always perfectly posed or planned.
I’ve always loved capturing the little things: the giggles, the cuddles, the chaos, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful, and those real, honest memories are often the ones we treasure most.
My hope is to capture those moments for you and your family in a natural, relaxed way, giving you photographs that feel warm, genuine and truly yours.
My approach
My sessions are all about keeping things relaxed, natural and pressure-free. We’ll start with a few gentle family group photos, but after that I like to let the session flow — letting children play, laugh, explore and simply be themselves.
I don’t believe every photograph needs to be perfectly posed or full of big smiles. The quiet moments, the cheeky looks, the cuddles, the chaos and the laughter are often the ones that tell the real story.
I’m not studio-based. I photograph families outdoors, at home and in natural surroundings, using natural light and simple, honest moments wherever possible. My aim is to capture photographs that feel raw, warm, genuine and completely yours.
Kind words from
Amina Brückner
"I had such a great experience with Barbara Unsworth Photography! She was very professional, easy to communicate with, and really listened to what I wanted. Barbara asked about my style preferences, looked at the examples I shared, and followed through perfectly. The photos of me and my family turned out so natural, spontaneous, and exactly how I pictured them. She truly captured what I had in mind and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!"
Let’s work together
