Your family photographer in Bromley
Family sessions run in Church House Gardens, at home, or indoors at the Northwood studio, and we travel out to Beckenham, Chislehurst and Orpington for the same booking. The gardens open straight off the High Street, so the walk in is short, which matters when one adult is pushing a pram and another is carrying a toddler who wants down.
We photograph the full group in the first fifteen minutes, while everyone is still willing, then break it into pairs. Grandparents get their own frames early rather than at the end, when the children have run out of goodwill and the light has usually turned.

What we offer
Family photography in Bromley
Extended family groups
Group frames done first, while attention holds, then pairs, then the children on their own.
Everyone in one frame
One edited set covering everyone, sized for a large print and for sending round the family.
An hour, planned around the children
Why book with us
Plan for an hour. In poor weather we move the whole booking indoors instead of shortening it, because a cold family photographs as a cold family and no amount of editing undoes that. Sessions booked early in the day generally go better than anything scheduled after a missed nap.
You receive the group frames, the pairs and the loose ones of the children in a single edited set, sized both for a large print and for sending round to relatives, with none of it held back.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Bromley, FAQs
The first few weeks are ideal, when newborns sleep deeply and curl up easily. Get in touch while you are pregnant and we will pencil in a date near your due date, then adjust once baby arrives.
It is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Tears, squirming and sudden sleepiness are expected, so we just stop, help settle your little one and pick up where we left off. Because we are never in a rush, a grizzly few minutes seldom shows in the final set.
You can indeed. One option follows your baby across the first year: newborn, sitting up, first steps and a cake smash on their first birthday. Seeing those twelve months side by side shows just how fast a baby grows.
Your baby gets a small cake of their own to celebrate turning one, and is free to dig in. We capture the build-up, the glorious mess and the sheer delight as it unfolds. It is one of the happiest sessions we run.
Choose from fine art prints, framed pieces, canvases and hand-finished albums built around the images you love most. Once the gallery is edited you look through it online, then choose what suits your walls.

A family photographer near Bromley
Our Northwood studio is about 23 miles from Bromley, and we travel to families right across London from it. It sits close to Lewisham and Croydon, which we cover too. Family sessions take place at the Northwood studio or out in Bromley, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Crystal Palace Park, also in the borough, is a 200-acre Grade II* listed landscape whose Victorian dinosaur sculptures are Grade I listed, a memorable backdrop for older children. Norman Park on Hayes Lane (BR2 9EF) has a children's play area, football pitches and its own car park, which makes arriving with a pram straightforward. Church House Gardens, a formal park just off Bromley High Street with a pond and woodland, is another option for a location session.

For a family that usually means your home, Church House Gardens or Norman Park on Hayes Lane, with portable lighting if we are indoors. Coming to the Northwood studio is always an option too.
