Family Photographer in Islington

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. Islington is easy to reach: served by Angel station on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington station on the Victoria line and London Overground.

The honest answer is a plan rather than a claim. In Islington the plan is Highbury Fields for the group photograph, because a wide row of people needs ground lit evenly from end to end, then the quieter streets behind it for pairs and individuals, and the hour before sunset instead of the middle of the day. If the weather turns, we move to your address or to Northwood rather than losing the date.

Yes, and the head count matters mostly for where everyone stands. Ten or more people form a row several metres wide, which wants open ground rather than a street corner, so in Islington that means Highbury Fields. Tell us the number and the age of the youngest when you book. Everybody together gets photographed at the top of the session, then it breaks into smaller combinations.

Yes, at your home rather than at a studio. A newborn session runs on feeding and sleeping rather than on a schedule, so it takes two to three hours with long pauses built in. We come to you in Islington, so nobody has to get a week-old baby into a car or onto a train. We bring our own light, so the room we use is whichever one is warmest, not whichever has the biggest window.

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. Around Islington we plan for landmarks such as The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal, in Highbury.
