Hackney and nearby
Whether you are in Islington, Tower Hamlets or nearby, our Northwood studio is an easy and welcoming place to bring the children. We keep the studio warm and calm for newborns, working gently around feeds, naps and cuddles. For maternity sessions we work gently and flatteringly, celebrating this stage with calm, natural portraits.
We have handled countless cake smashes, and we know the mess and the laughter are all part of the fun. We are as comfortable with a newborn's first portraits as we are with a lively family of six.

We love bringing grandparents into the picture, capturing the connection across the generations.
Fine prints, framed pictures and canvases of your favourite portraits to bring home.
You will see your beautifully edited gallery quickly, ready to order prints and albums.
Local and experienced
We photograph the connection between you, the cuddles, the giggles and the quiet moments, rather than lining everyone up to smile. We follow your child's lead, whether that means a quiet cuddle or a run around the park.
You can book a single session or a package that follows your baby's first year, from newborn to cake smash. Newborn sessions are unhurried and gentle, with plenty of time for feeds, cuddles and settling baby between shots.

Good to know
There is no need. Toddlers from Hackney keep us on our toes, and we love that, so we never demand stillness or forced smiles. We play, we follow their lead, and the natural moments we capture are often the pictures parents adore most.
Absolutely. We photograph maternity portraits for Hackney families, celebrating this stage with soft, flattering images in the studio or outside. Booking a maternity session alongside a newborn one is popular, and it means the full journey from bump to baby is beautifully recorded.
Do just get in touch as soon as you can. Babies and toddlers have their off days, and sudden illness happens, so we would always prefer to move things than capture an unhappy child. Together we will settle on a fresh date that works for you.
Absolutely. Families in Hackney choose us for that relaxed, unposed look, where we photograph the affection, the laughter and the real moments as they happen. We still gather a few tidy group portraits, but it is the natural, candid pictures people treasure most.
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.
Serving Hackney
Hackney sits within easy reach of our Northwood studio. It sits close to Islington and Tower Hamlets, which we cover too. We cover Hackney and the wider London area for family photography, on location or in the studio, with no local travel charge.
Hackney is a creative east London borough known for its independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations link the borough via London Overground services. Sessions on location near Hackney often use Victoria Park, one of London's oldest public parks with lakes and open lawns, with The Hackney Empire, a Grade II* listed Edwardian theatre close at hand.
