London baby Photography
A warm, natural way to capture the beauty of the everyday — the soft chaos, the tiny details, the in-between moments.
My baby sessions are lifestyle-led and deeply personal. No forced smiles, no stiff posing — just your family as you truly are. Relaxed, connected, full of warmth.
I work with a quiet sensitivity, noticing the glances, the stretches, the way your baby moves through the world right now. A mix of natural moments and gently guided portraits, held with a soft, almost cinematic feel — honest, atmospheric, and beautifully real.
Every session is a collaboration. I’ll bring the light, intuition and calm direction; you just bring yourselves. Together, we’ll create something heartfelt and timeless — the kind of photographs that hold meaning long after this chapter shifts.
Based in North London, I photograph babies and families across London and beyond — preserving your story with care, presence, and connection.
From tiny beginnings to growing personalities — real, connected photographs that tell your story.
“The best photographs aren’t about perfect smiles — they’re about the feeling you have when you look back.”
CAPTURING THE QUIET BEAUTY AND NATURAL CONNECTIONS OF LIFE WITH YOUR BABY — WARM, HONEST AND TIMELESS.
It’s the small things that stay with you — the way they reach for you, the softness of your mornings together, the moments that sit between the milestones. That’s what I look for.
However your home looks, it’s the feeling inside that matters. I’ll document your baby and your family with care — relaxed, natural, and in a way that feels true to you. No props. No performing. Just the quiet, everyday magic of this chapter.
While newborn sessions focus on those early, tender weeks, baby sessions celebrate the next stage — when curiosity grows, expressions deepen, and personality starts to shine. These sessions are perfect from around 3 to 12 months, a window filled with wonder, connection, and change.
We move gently and intuitively. Your baby sets the pace, and I follow — capturing the warmth, the depth, and the soft, almost cinematic quality that makes these images feel alive years from now.
This is photography made to be felt.

Baby sessions are perfect anytime from around 3 to 12 months — when expressions deepen, personalities emerge, and every week brings something new. Whether they’re full of curiosity at 4 months, sitting confidently at 7 months, or on the move near their first birthday, we’ll document this chapter just as it is.
If you’d like a weekend date or have a specific stage in mind, it’s best to get in touch early. We’ll choose a time that feels right for your little one.
-
Baby sessions are calm, unhurried, and shaped around your little one’s natural rhythm. We usually begin around 10am, when babies tend to be most settled.
Sessions last around 2–3 hours, with plenty of time for cuddles, play, feeds, and pauses. There’s no rush — we move gently and let the real moments unfold.
Within a week, you’ll receive your private online gallery, carefully edited and ready to revisit whenever you want to remember this stage.

Your baby changes quickly — this is a chance to hold onto the little things before they slip into the next chapter.
My baby sessions are calm, relaxed, and shaped around what feels right for your family. There’s no pressure for perfect poses — just honest connection and the small moments that mean the most.
The session fee is the same as for newborns and covers my time, care, and all the thoughtful planning that goes into creating a meaningful experience.
After your session, you can choose from a range of flexible image collections — from digital images to fine art prints and handcrafted albums. I’ll guide you through the options so you can choose what feels right for your home and your story.

You don’t need anything perfect — just come as you are.

A note on artwork & collections
Alongside the session fee, you’ll have the option to choose from a range of digital collections and fine art pieces after your shoot. There’s no pressure to decide anything upfront — we’ll explore the options together so you can choose what feels right.
Whether it’s a handcrafted album, a framed print for your home, or a set of digital images to keep safe, I’ll guide you toward pieces that feel meaningful and lasting.

Absolutely. Beautiful photographs deserve to be lived with — on your walls, in your hands, and in the quiet moments they bring flooding back.
Many families choose to turn their images into meaningful keepsakes: handcrafted albums, fine art prints, or a favourite piece for the wall. I’ll help you choose what fits your space and your style — no fuss, just honest guidance.
You can explore more on my Artwork & Albums page, or get in touch if you’d like help deciding what feels right for your home.
Let’s preserve this stage — just as it is, right now
why Prints & albums matter
We take photos to remember — not just how it looked, but how it felt.
But memories aren’t meant to live in folders or disappear in the cloud.
There’s something powerful about holding a photograph.
A print invites you to pause. An album becomes a book of love — part of your family’s story.
The photos we return to are the ones we can touch.
Passed down, held close, full of meaning.
This is why I offer artwork made to last — so years from now, your child can turn the pages and feel the love in every image.
