Family Photographer in Camden

Yes. Many families choose a package that follows baby's first year, from a newborn session through sitting up and first steps to a cake smash on the first birthday. It is a lovely way to capture how quickly your little one grows. Locally in Camden that takes in The Roundhouse, a former 1847 railway engine shed now a leading music and arts venue.

Usually about an hour, though rushing is never our style. With little babies and toddlers we leave plenty of room for feeding, sleeping and comforting, so no one becomes upset. It is your children who lead the timing here, not a stopwatch. For outdoor photographs in Camden we would suggest Primrose Hill, with its celebrated viewpoint over the London skyline.

That is easier outdoors in Camden than in a room, so bring what the children actually use: the scooter, the ball, the snack that buys ten minutes. We walk rather than line people up, mostly on the lower slopes of Primrose Hill where there is room to move. Put everyone in clothes they already wear. If someone tires quickly, tell us at the start and we will photograph them first.

Please do not fret, as this is entirely normal. We photograph babies in Camden every week and are well used to tears, wriggling and surprise naps. We pause, calm your baby gently and carry on, so a rocky start seldom shows in the images.

They do not need to. We never expect toddlers to sit still and smile on command, so instead we turn the session into play and photograph the genuine moments. Some of our favourite images come from children who are busy being themselves. Camden and neighbouring Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and Hampstead are all covered.
