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.

    We often think of kindness as something we give to others, but it also lives quietly in the spaces between us, in patience, in listening, in how we see one another.

    Every time I photograph someone, I’m reminded how powerful kindness can be.

    A gentle word, a reassuring smile, or simply making someone feel seen can change the whole energy of a moment.

    This World Kindness Day, let’s remember that kindness doesn’t have to be loud or grand. Sometimes it’s in the way we speak to ourselves. Sometimes it’s in the way we see another person, really see them.

    Be gentle, with yourself and with others. It matters more than you know.

    In a world where so much feels filtered, polished, or even AI-generated, I just want to be real.

    ▪️I still get nervous before shoots, even after hundreds of sessions. Every client is different, and that matters to me.

    ▪️I might do a small dance (or throw my arms in the air) when you book a session, because it means you’ve chosen me to tell your story.

    ▪️I can feel really low when bookings slow down, and yes, I get anxious when the inbox is quiet.

    ▪️Most days, I edit in joggers, wrapped in a blanket, with chocolate or biscuits within reach.

    ▪️If you don’t reply after a session, I do worry. We’ve shared such a special connection, and when I don’t hear back, my brain instantly assumes something’s wrong.

    ▪️I pour everything into every session so you can have the best experience possible. I feel exhausted afterwards but I know you leave feeling amazing.

    ▪️And yes, I’ll admit, it stings a little when you share your photos without tagging me. Because every image has a piece of my heart in it.

    Photography is emotional, messy, and sometimes exhausting but it’s also so magic and rewarding.

    What’s your truth? I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. Can any fellow mums or business owners relate?

    You won’t find props or baskets here, just softness, light, and connection.
    
I believe your baby is already enough, exactly as they are.
    
Every sigh, stretch, and tiny breath tells the story of who they’re becoming and who you already are.

    If that’s the kind of session you’ve been searching for, let’s chat.
    
We’re definitely speaking the same language.

    Sometimes, the mirror doesn’t tell the full story, but a photograph can.

    It’s not about changing how you look.
It’s about seeing yourself differently.

    Every woman deserves to feel seen, not for who the world expects her to be, but for who she truly is.

    “Your motherhood will outlive you and live inside your children forever.”

    This quote stopped me.
    
It made me think about how everything we are, our words, our moods, our love, stays with them long after the moment has passed.

    Just like a photograph, motherhood captures fragments of who we are and preserves them in our children.
    
So if our love is the legacy we leave behind, maybe caring for ourselves is part of that legacy too.

    When we’re gentle with ourselves, we teach them to do the same.

    That’s how the best parts of us live on. Tag a mum who need to hear this.
