today Gavin was very brave and had our puppy (1yr old) and Erin (now 4 1/2 month!).

My husband and I are not exactly ones for posing in front of a camera but Gavin made us feel at ease and was able to capture the most wonderful pictures of our 4month old.

"Our family of four won a free photo session with Gavin and it was fantastic. We've had a lot of photo sessions as a family but Gavin really knew how to get our boys to smile on camera and they had such a fun time resulting in some amazing photos that we're going to love hanging in our new home! Thanks again! <3"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I picked up our photos from Rolph and Co today and we are over the moon. Gavin is *such* a nice man and an absolute natural with children - he knew exactly how to get the best out of our 9 month old. He is also very good with emotional mothers who cry when they see the amazing slideshow he has put together at the viewing appointment 😂 still not entirely sure how we managed to narrow down our selection as they were all incredible. And I got to meet Ralph 🐶 which was the icing on the cake.
Thanks so much Gavin and Jenni xx
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I had a photo shoot to capture my baby's beauty & character, Gavin was so brilliant with my daughter, getting her to smile & be her usual cheeky self. He played around with different colours & the photos came out fantastic! The whole experience was amazing, so warm & welcoming. Thank you so much :D"

"Me and my husband had a family photoshoot today with our three boys and we had an amazing time! We were made to feel so relaxed and comfortable. So friendly and professional, they were amazing with our kids and the studio is GORGEOUS and the photos look incredible! Thank you so much guys xxxx"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I can’t recommend Rolph & Co Photography enough - they are an amazing team and our Winter mini shoot this morning was brilliant.
I was initially nervous about bring my 2 year old toddler Jack as he could either have been shy and clingy or join in the fun and be himself. I’m so pleased to say that he was completely relaxed as soon as we arrived - exploring the simply beautiful set (and stairs under supervision!) - both Gavin and Jenni made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Jack can be quite serious in new situations but Gavin had him giggling within a minute of starting the shoot. Gavin’s super chilled out, happy and friendly and his enthusiasm quickly rubbed off on us both.
Can’t wait to go back next week and see our photos!
Don’t hesitate in booking a shoot with Gavin and Jenni, you won’t regret it x"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"We had our first Family photo shoot done here. and we was other the moon with the quality and great affordable prices! our oldest son is not the easiest to stay still . But Gavin made it fun for him and he clearly enjoyed his visit 😊 a very Friendly atmosphere."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely love our pictures. Our twin girls have always been quite awkward when having pictures taken but not with Gavin, they were so relaxed and had so much fun. When we went to collect they wanted to have pictures taken!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can’t recommend Rolph & Co enough! They are brilliant, they’re so lovely and Gavin was so good with our little girl!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There is a lot of Photography places about but when it comes to caring about your clients then Rolph & Co exceed all expectations. They don’t just see a client and then forget about them they take pride in remember the pictures they have taken. Gavin is a natural when it comes to children the man clearly has a gift for Photograph as does his wife Jen. Gavin also has big heart and loves children so if your going to take your child anywhere to get photos taken you can’t do better than Rolph Photography. Think it’s worth saying He will also make a fantastic Dad in the future 👼🏻

Brilliant experience from start to finish!
Gavin was fantastic with both my 10 year old son & 4 month old daughter.
Thank you x
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We came for a family photoshoot and had such a lovely time. From the phonecall beforehand to discus everything to the photoshoot itself, it was such a nice relaxing environment. we have just received our canvas and we are in love with it. Thank you so much.
We had a fantastic, fun, well prepared, photo session with Gavin at Rolph & Co this afternoon! The shoot was for my teen daughter & her bestie. Gavin had taken the time to phone ahead to find out what music she liked so he could sort out a play list for the shoot, when we arrived we were given a private changing room to get ready in, and Gavin made sure the girls felt like pro models! They danced, sang & laughed their way through the session & I feel sure the photos will be every bit as joyous as the hour the girls had at Rolph & Co 🤩 Thanks so much Gavin, the girls were absolutely buzzing afterwards xxx
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a photoshoot today, 4 kids from 1-8 and 2 adults, Gavin the photographer was amazing with them all. My youngest had a rough morning and was feeling sorry for himself but he managed to get him to smile (a big ask for such a furious 1yr old) and my 3 year old is generally quite feral! Having handled this brilliantly, managing to get everyone in poses and photographed with what seemed like very little effort. He interacts so well with all 4 children and had them laughing and smiling, as well as teaching them a little magic haha. Would highly recommend :) x
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing experience with our 8 week old baby. Super professional but also very personal and made us feel right at home. Really good with kids and got so many amazing shots. 100% recommend. Thank you guys!

Absolutely amazing. Made you feel really welcome and relaxed 😎 the pictures are amazing I wish we knew him in time for our wedding as we would have loved to have him for that. Keep up the good work and good luck with everything you do.
They were amazing! The photo shoot was for my little girl who is under 1 years old. Gavin was incredible with my daughter and kept her well entertained while taking her photos. He was lovely and polite. We came back to view the photos a week later and the photos were so lovely and very professional! We bought a lot of them on usb and one wall photo frame which now looks lovely in my living room.
When I came to collect them I had parked a bit down the road on a car park but couldn’t carry it all on my own with my daughter as well so Jenni very kindly help take everything back to my car for me. I cannot recommend them enough! So pleased and happy with the experience and what we came home with that will last a life time. Thankyou very much!
P.s. we LOVED meeting Ralph the pug too!

Absolutely amazing! So friendly and welcoming and worked really well with my 2 year old daughter, Gavin was very kind and patient towards her and made the shoot really fun and interesting for her, she loved it!

We came for a shoot a few weeks back and we had such an amazing time, it was very relaxed and chilled, Gavin was great with our dog Bert who isn’t great at sitting still!! I picked the pictures up from them and I couldn’t be happier with them I am so in love with them... I would highly recommend Gavin to anyone who wants to capture memories he’s amazing at what he’s does!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We received a family photoshoot with Rolph & Co as a gift for our new baby. Gavin made it such a relaxed and enjoyable experience (for someone who was a bit anxious about having photos taken)! The shoot was really personalised and we were advised to take teddies and blankets, which then featured in the photos. We couldn't be happier with the final photos, they captured our little one and her personality perfectly. Thank you so so much for such a lovely experience and such wonderful photos!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a wonderful photoshoot with my little boy and so impressed with the photos! Thank you so much x
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a great company.. after going to a more "well-known company" a couple of weeks previously just wish we had of found these guys sooner ! It's an A* studio myself and my partner would recommend to anyone and even we will be returning soon for another shoot.. even with two kids one newly teenager and one pre teen... Gavin managed to get them involved and got lovely shots of them and all of us together.. exactly what we were looking for and more .. can't rate them enough.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Could not be happier with our photos - lovely relaxed experience and wonderful results! Haven’t figured out where we are putting our lovely pictures yet but they’ll look gorgeous wherever we decide
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The most fun we’ve had in a long time, so relaxed and Gavin & Jen made our kids so comfortable. When it came to viewing the pictures it was just such an amazing experience. Rolph & Co care so much about what they do and it really shows.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really happy with our Rolph & Co experience, such a relaxed atmosphere and instantly made to feel at ease, love the phone call with Jenni beforehand to find out what it is you want to capture and suggestions of favourite items to bring in. Great little dressing room for comfortably changing our little one into different outfits. Gavin did a fantastic job with our pictures over the moon with them and the quality. We really enjoyed the fun detail of the cinema style viewing of our images really nice touch. Would certainly recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have no words! Absolutely amazing! I am so emotional right now! THANK YOU! Xxx
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing! We as a family had such a great time having our photoshoot, it was fun and our 7 month old really enjoyed being photographed and didn't get fed up once because of how fun Gavin made it for him! Really friendly people & the studio is lovely as well. Been to view the photos today and ended up in tears at how much I love all of them. Thankyou both so sooo much, we'll definitely recommend Rolph & Co to others & definitely be returning for future shoots . We cannot wait to get our pictures!!! Xxx
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family photo shoot was definitely something we’ll never forget. It was brilliant, Gavin&Jen done amazing job. Our princess was really happy and smiling for all session. We really enjoyed!
The photos look amazing. Thank you for great experience.
We highly recommend this studio
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic photos thank you Team Rolph. Had so much fun having them taken. We were made to feel very relaxed. Wasn't sure how my granddaughter would be, she loved it. Thankyou so much x
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazingly talented pair, with so much patience and incredible ideas. Really made my son feel at ease and the photos are just stunning.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gavin and Jen were both amazing. Two incredibly talented photographers who can make anyone who doesn't particularly like having their photo taken feel very relaxed and have all the patience in the world. Especially when it comes to shooting a 6 month year old baby and dog! I am completely floored by the pictures we received!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Team Rolph did a fantastic job with our little one who was rather camera shy that day! Amazing patience and persistence to get some great shots and made us feel relaxed throughout. Managed to calm us both as parents as well as the little nipper! Really pleased with the style of photos and looking forward to the next shoot early in the new year. Super service and really quick turn around on the final product. Almost 15 years of photos from Team Rolph have never failed to impress!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t recommend Gavin & Jen enough! Our family photo shoot experience was definitely something we’ll never forget.
They were fantastic with our 2 year old daughter and this was reflected in the final images. We now have an amazing set of pictures and memories that we’ll treasure forever all thanks to this highly talented and creative duo.
Thanks so much guys! X

PET PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Studio portraits for the whole family. Fur included.
At Rolph and Co, we absolutely love photographing animals. Which makes sense, because our studio mascot is Ralph, a very opinionated black pug who has been running the place since before we had any clients. He has strong views on treats, the lighting setup, and which spot on the studio floor belongs to him.
Gavin works with pets with the same patience and calm he brings to every shoot. Animals in front of cameras can be unpredictable, so he builds in plenty of time and works entirely at their pace. The result is natural, relaxed portraits that actually look like your pet, not a stressed version of them.
Indoor studio photography gives us full control over lighting and backgrounds, so we can create beautiful, professional portraits whatever the weather, and really let your pet's personality shine.
Solo pet portraits, your pet as the star of the show
Pets and their people, you and your furry best friend together
Multi-pet shoots, because why not photograph the whole squad?
Bring the whole family along too
Pet shoots make brilliant gifts. We have photographed rescue dogs celebrating their forever home, birthday pets, and beloved companions whose owners simply wanted something beautiful to keep. We are based in Macclesfield, SK11 6LQ, and photograph pets from across Cheshire, including Wilmslow, Knutsford, Poynton, Bollington, Congleton and Alderley Edge. Book your pet's moment of fame via our shop or call us on 01625 402 792.
Newborn Photography · Macclesfield
There's nothing quite like the first few days.
Tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, that perfect little face. We help you hold onto all of it. Newborn sessions at Rolph and Co are led by Gavin, who has a wonderful gift for working with brand new babies and nervous new parents alike. Sessions are warm, unhurried and completely at your baby's pace. If they need a feed, a cuddle or a nappy change, we stop. There is no rush here.
Unlike many studios, we don't ask you to book before your baby arrives. We'd rather you meet them first. Once they're here, get in touch as soon as you can. Sessions work best in the first 14 days, when babies are at their sleepiest and most curled up.
We welcome the whole family into the studio. Brothers, sisters, grandparents, everyone is encouraged to be part of the shoot. This is about capturing your family in this moment, not just a baby on a blanket.
Sessions typically last around 3 hours, giving plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling at whatever pace your baby needs.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Real families. Real moments. Real photos.
Family photography should be fun, not a stiff line-up against a plain background. At Rolph and Co, we love a bit of chaos. The kids who won't sit still, the toddler who has decided they hate cameras, the dog who jumps into every shot. That is where the best photos come from.
Our studio in Macclesfield is set up to feel comfortable and relaxed, so even the most camera-shy family members settle in quickly. We work with families of all shapes and sizes, from couples with their first newborn to big multi-generation groups, and everyone in between. We believe great photographs happen when you stop trying to be perfect and just be yourselves. That is when the magic happens.
A relaxed studio shoot, typically 45 to 90 minutes

A range of print and digital options to suit every budget
We are based in Macclesfield, SK11 6LQ, and regularly work with families from across Cheshire, including Wilmslow, Poynton, Knutsford, Congleton, Bollington, Prestbury, Stockport and beyond. Book your family shoot in our shop or call us on 01625 402 792. We would love to meet you.
BABY PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Every milestone deserves to be remembered.
From that first proper smile to the moment they figure out how to pull themselves up on the furniture, babyhood moves fast. Baby shoots at Rolph and Co are designed to capture your little one exactly as they are right now, at this precise, fleeting, wonderful stage.
Shoots are led by Gavin, who has a natural way with babies and a knack for capturing those wide-eyed, curious expressions that you will want to look back on forever. We work at your baby's pace, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and the occasional nappy-related interruption. That is just part of the job, and we love it.
We don't use generic studio props. Instead, bring along anything that is personal to your baby and your family. Their favourite toy, a special blanket, something that means something to you. That is what makes the photos feel real rather than staged.
The whole family is welcome too. Siblings, grandparents, everyone. The more people in the room, the better the moments you capture.
Milestone shoots from 3 months to 12 months and beyond
Sitting, standing, all the stages in between
Bring your own personal props and special items
Parent and sibling shots included
Beautiful images to mark each chapter
We are in Macclesfield, SK11 6LQ, and work with families from across Cheshire including Wilmslow, Knutsford, Poynton, Bollington, Congleton and Prestbury. To book or for a chat, call 01625 402 792.
COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Studio portraits for the two of you. No occasion required.
Whether you are celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply want some photographs that are not from a wedding, a couples shoot at Rolph and Co is a genuinely lovely thing to do together. We are not big on stiff, formal poses. We would rather chat with you, make you laugh, and catch the in-between moments. That is when you look your absolute best.
Couples shoots are popular for engagements, Valentine's gifts, significant anniversaries, and for couples who just want to actually appear in photographs together for once. Everything takes place in our Macclesfield studio, so you get beautiful, controlled lighting and results that look properly professional.
Newly engaged couples
Anniversaries and milestones
Pre-wedding portrait shoots

TODDLER PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
We'll let you into a secret: toddlers are actually our favourite.
Yes, they sometimes refuse to sit down. Yes, they occasionally decide they hate cameras. Yes, one once ate part of the backdrop. That is fine. That is actually the point. The best toddler photos are the ones where they are completely, gloriously themselves. Not posed, not bribed (well, maybe very slightly bribed), just being a toddler.
Gavin is endlessly patient with small people and knows exactly how to work with kids who have approximately zero interest in being photographed. The chaos is not a problem to manage. It is the whole point. Bring their favourite toy, their comfort blanket, whatever they love. The more at home they feel, the better the photographs.
Genuine personality, the face they actually pull, not the one they have been told to make
Movement and energy, because good luck keeping them still
Quiet moments too, when they appear
Sibling shots, parent-and-child shots, the whole story
Bring whatever makes them feel at home
If your little one is between 1 and 4 and you want photographs that actually capture what they are like right now, we would love to meet them. We are in Macclesfield, SK11 6LQ, serving families from Wilmslow, Knutsford, Poynton, Bollington, Congleton and across Cheshire. Book via our shop or call 01625 402 792.
CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
First birthdays call for cake. Lots of it. On everything.
A cake smash shoot is one of the most joyful things we do at Rolph and Co. Watching a small human encounter a cake for the very first time never gets old. And the photographs? Pure gold. Shoots start with some sweet, clean portraits of your birthday boy or girl before we introduce the cake. What happens next is entirely up to them, and it is almost always brilliant.
You bring the cake, balloons, decorations and anything else you would like in the shoot. Whatever colour scheme or theme you have in mind, bring it along. This makes the whole thing feel personal to your little one rather than a generic setup.
Bring the whole family too. Siblings, grandparents, everyone is welcome. The more people in the room, the better the reactions, the bigger the smiles, and the more photographs you will want to take home.
Clean, sweet portraits before the chaos begins
Full cake smash, the messier the better
Bring your own cake, decorations and anything special
The whole family welcome, siblings and grandparents included
A beautiful set of milestone photographs to treasure
Shoots are ideal for babies approaching or celebrating their first birthday. We are in Macclesfield, SK11 6LQ, and serve families from Wilmslow, Knutsford, Poynton, Bollington, Prestbury, Congleton and across Cheshire. Book via our shop or call 01625 402 792.
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO · MACCLESFIELD
Macclesfield's unique, premium family photography studio.
Rolph and Co is a family photography studio in Macclesfield, run by Gavin and Jenni Rolph. Gavin has been photographing families across Cheshire since 2009, and in that time has learned one thing above everything else: the best photographs happen when people stop performing for the camera and just be themselves.
Our studio in Macclesfield is set up to feel like a genuinely relaxed space, not a clinical photo booth or a conveyor-belt operation. We offer a range of shoots designed for every stage of family life, from newborn portraits and baby milestones to family shoots, toddler chaos, cake smashes, couples portraits and pet photography. Yes, really. We photograph pets. Our studio mascot Ralph, a very opinionated black pug, is living proof that animals make brilliant subjects.

CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Past the toddler years. Not quite a teenager. Absolutely brilliant.
The 4 to 10 age range is a golden window. Old enough to take direction, young enough to still be completely, genuinely themselves in front of a camera. These kids have personalities, opinions and usually something very firm to say about what they do and don't like. That is exactly what makes photographing them so much fun.
Gavin has been working with children of all ages since 2009 and knows exactly how to get the best out of this age group. The approach is simple: make it feel like a good time rather than a chore, give them a bit of freedom, and catch the moments when they forget they are being photographed at all. Those are always the best ones.
Bring along anything that matters to them. A favourite toy, something connected to a sport or hobby they love, a book they are obsessed with. The more personal it is, the better the photographs will be. Bring the whole family too. Siblings, parents, grandparents. Everyone is welcome.

TEEN PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Not a school photo. Not awkward. Promise.
Getting a teenager to agree to have their photograph taken is an achievement in itself. We know. Which is why we have made it our mission to make the whole thing as relaxed, enjoyable and genuinely good-looking as possible.
Gavin works with teens the same way he works with everyone else: no forced smiles, no stiff poses, no "say cheese." Just a relaxed shoot in the studio, a bit of a laugh, and photographs that actually look like them rather than a tense version of themselves someone dragged in front of a camera.
These make brilliant birthday gifts, keepsakes for parents and grandparents, or simply portraits for a young person who deserves to feel great about how they look. Solo portraits or with family, whatever works best for them.
Studio portraits that don't look like school photos
No forced poses, no awkward setups

Photographs that actually capture their personality

GENERATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
Everyone in the same room. That never happens. Get the photo.
Getting the whole family together, grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, everyone, rarely happens. When it does, it tends to be fleeting, chaotic and over before anyone has thought to take a decent photograph. A generations shoot at Rolph and Co is the answer to that.
Gavin has been photographing large family groups since 2009. He knows how to handle the logistics of getting everyone looking the same direction at the same time, how to keep small children settled while grandparents are getting comfortable, and how to capture the genuine warmth between people who love each other rather than just a line-up.
These are the photographs people display for decades. The ones that get brought out at anniversaries and family gatherings, passed down through families, and treasured long after everyone in them has grown up and moved on. Worth doing properly.

HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY · MACCLESFIELD
A headshot that actually looks like you. On a good day.
Your LinkedIn photo is doing more work than you realise. Whether you are a business owner, a professional updating your profile, or a team that needs a consistent set of portraits, a proper studio headshot makes a real difference to how you come across.
Headshot shoots at Rolph and Co are quick, efficient and surprisingly relaxed. Gavin knows how to get the best out of people who don't consider themselves particularly photogenic, and how to produce clean, professional results that work across LinkedIn, company websites, email signatures and print. Shoots typically last around 30 minutes.
No fussing, no unnecessary setup, no awkwardness. Just a well-lit, professional portrait that does exactly what it needs to do.

SOLO PORTRAITS · MACCLESFIELD
Just you. Looking exactly how good you actually look.
You don't need a reason to have your photograph taken. You don't need a special occasion, a milestone or someone else to share the frame with. Sometimes it is simply enough to want photographs that show you as you actually are. Confident, relaxed, feeling good about yourself.
Solo shoots at Rolph and Co are for anyone who wants that. People who have never done anything like it and fancy trying. People who know exactly what they want and just need someone who can deliver it. People who want a birthday treat, a confidence boost, or something to give to someone who matters.
Gavin is very good at making people feel at ease in front of a camera. He doesn't do awkward. He doesn't do stiff. He builds up to the shots gradually, keeps things relaxed and conversational, and the photographs end up looking like you on a really, genuinely good day.
