Children Photographer London – Timeless Photos of your Children

This morning I was supposed to meet a lovely family in the park. It was all planned. An outdoor family photoshoot to celebrate the pregnancy journey and the second birthday of the first child. Unfortunately, we live in London and plans not always work out, especially with outdoor shootings.  We woke up to a rainy and dull morning, so we decided to postpone it.

When you book an outdoor shoot, there is generally a plan B. If it’s not raining too much, we can still go ahead with it. If we chose a location with covered areas we can move there. Or of course, we can postpone the shoot. In this case, both my clients and I are stating flexible. The day after, it could be a lovely day. Or we might move the time to get the shoot done.

But back to my story.

My camera and I were prepared and ready to take some photos, so to keep my creativity active, I brought my girl down to the studio. Not a very easy task to be honest, but eventually, we did it and this is one of the images.

My little girl is growing . . .

I love this image. She is looking right into me, I can see her soul through her eyes. I am looking forward to printing it and having it in my home.

Wouldn’t you love having a nice portrait of your child hanging on your wall? And even better, wouldn’t you love to exist in that photo with your child?

I am a children portrait photographer and I would love to photograph you and your family together because as a mum I know how valuable these images will be in just a few years time.  Book a free consultation today and plan your child’s portrait.

    Newborn sessions with siblings, especially toddlers, can be unpredictable.
    Some days they are all in. Other days they aren’t. And that’s okay.

    This big sister wasn’t very keen on being in the photos. So instead of forcing it, I gave her a different role.
    She became my assistant.
    She helped me photograph her baby brother and her parents.
    Suddenly, she felt special. She was part of the process. And Mum still got the beautiful family photos she wanted.

    I find that involving toddlers and giving them a job to do works magic.
    It shifts their energy from resistance to collaboration.
    Everyone feels seen. Everyone gets their moment.

    This is what 15 years of experience looks like. Knowing when to adapt. Knowing how to make it work for every member of the family.

    If you’re expecting a second baby and worried about how your toddler will handle a newborn session, don’t be.

    We’ll find a way to include them that feels right for everyone.

    Let’s talk about what this could look like for you. DM me.

    Through motherhood, we go through job titles quicker than in an entire career

    I personally went from
    Mamma → Mummy → Mum → Vale…
    and now I’m just Bruh or Buddy. 🙈

    They grow up fast and one day they won’t even want to be in the photo!

    So let’s make the most of these Mummy years!

    What’s the funniest name your kids have called you? Come on let’s have a laugh in the comments

    This is what happens when you book a newborn session with me.

    You come to my studio. Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you’re wondering if this is worth it. Maybe all of the above!

    You arrive, I welcome you in, offer you tea, and we slow down.
    I guide you gently through everything, so you can just be present with your baby.

    I capture the tiny details. The yawns. The way your family looks at this new little person. The love that’s already there.

    And then picture this! A few weeks later, something arrives at your door.

    Not just digital files. Not just photos on a screen.

    But a beautiful album, designed for you, ready to hold and show your child one day.

    That’s the difference between a photo session and what I create.

    It’s not just about capturing moments. It’s about preserving them in a way that lasts.

    Your newborn days are fleeting.
    But this? This stays forever.

    Ready to create your family’s heirloom?

    Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to say this gently: you don’t have to have it all together to be worthy of care, love, or rest.

    Motherhood, creativity, business. They all carry invisible weights sometimes.
    It’s okay to set them down for a moment.
    It’s okay to just be.

    There’s real courage in that stillness.

    PS. If this resonates, you might find comfort in my book Milk Tales. A collection of stories about the emotional side of motherhood, and the courage it takes to be honest about how we really feel.
    If you need a soft space today, it’s waiting for you on Amazon.
