Caroline Jenkins Photography
Welcome to the home of Caroline Jenkins Photography
A family and personal branding photographer in Chandlers Ford for people who want to use their natural environment to tell their own stories.
Hi I’m Caroline Jenkins.
I am a photographer in Chandlers Ford working across Hampshire. Being someone who absolutely loves being outdoors, it made sense for me to specialise in outdoor photography, using only natural light and the landscape and colours around us.
I love working with families, couples, children and dogs! When you work with me we will embrace being out in nature and have a lot of fun! I don’t believe in stiff posing – this won’t get the best out of anybody! We will relax and enjoy ourselves and I guarantee that we will get great results.
We all know how precious family time is and how quickly life seems to fly by, especially where children are concerned. If you’re looking to freeze a moment in time and capture family relationships then I can help. I produce images that are vibrant and timeless. Photos that will warm your heart and make you smile.
And if you’re a small business and have realised the importance of headshots and personal branding and creating your own portfolio of images, then I would love to have a chat.
If you’d like to get in touch for a chat – from weddings to maternity to babies to Hilliers – I would love to hear from you.
Families
My family shoots are ideal for families who want to take their time on a family shoot. These shoots can be on a date and at a location of your choice. This means that we can create a bespoke shoot just for you. We will choose the perfect location with a range of different settings in the right season. Ideal for larger, extended families as the longer time slot means we have that time to capture all the familiy groups and dynamics.
Minishoots
My minishoots are perfect for those who just want a quick shoot to update their familiy photos. Minishoots take place at a location and on a date of my choosing and you get 30 minutes to play. Ideal for families with younger children who may not have the time or concentration for a longer shoot.
Weddings
Whether you’re looking to have a large wedding in a Church at spring time or a small and intimate registry office wedding in the Autumn, I can help. I offer a range of different packages to suit all couples from all walks of life and all ages.
Maternity
Are you expecting a baby and would like to celebrate and treasure these last few weeks of pregnancy? Or maybe you’re having the last child of the family and want to capture you all before the baby is here and completes your family. I offer 1 hour maternity shoots at a location and on a date to suit you with guidance along the way.
Babies
I like to think there is something for all babies in my baby shoots selection. From Newborn shoots in the family home to outdoor Cake Smashes to my fun Baby Minishoots which involve dressing your baby or toddler up, I have something to suit!
Hilliers
Did you know that I am the only photographer to offer exclusive photoshoots with Sir Harold Hillier Gardens? 1 hour photoshoots are offered over several weekends a year to maximise the seasons and spectacular scenery in these stunning gardens.
Dogs
People who know me would say that I am obsessed with dogs. Now I am a dog owner, I know what treasured members of the family they are and how you will want beautiful images of them as much as the rest of the family! I offer 1 hour-long dog walks (at a location and on a date of your choosing) to capture the best of your best friend.
Personal Branding
Are you a small business in need of beautiful images for your website and social media so you can attract your ideal client and grow your business? Or maybe you’re a larger business looking for headshots and updated images of your staff and workspace?
Other Types of Shoots
Whether you are looking to book somebody for a Christening, have somebody capture your Prom or Graduation or book a slot on my popular Natural School Photos, hopefully find all the information you need on this page!
Products
Many of your shoots will come with credit to spend on any of my prints and products that I order through Digitalab – an award-winning lab based in the North of England.
