Family Photographer in Kensington and Chelsea

Decide a rough range of colours between you beforehand, since related outfits photograph better than identical ones. Footwear matters more than tops if we are on park ground in Kensington and Chelsea, so wear what you would actually walk in. Pack one spare top for whoever is likeliest to need it. Avoid anything with writing across the chest, which the eye reads before it reaches a face.

Yes, and tell us when you book, not on the morning, because a third generation changes the plan. If we are indoors at a Kensington and Chelsea address we pick the floor that suits whoever finds stairs hardest. If we are outdoors we choose a spot near the gate and take something to sit on. Grandparents are photographed early, while the children are still cooperating.

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. Kensington and Chelsea and neighbouring Notting Hill, Knightsbridge and Earls Court are all covered.

Yes. Book with some slack in the date rather than a fixed one, since the last weeks are unpredictable and a session moved by a fortnight costs nothing. In Kensington and Chelsea we would keep it close to a gate or do it at home, and we keep standing frames short with sitting ones between. If you want your partner or an older child in the pictures, say so and we will build the order round it.

Yes. It is at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6, and it is one warm room with the floor kept clear, no traffic outside the door and nothing a child can pull over. Most Kensington and Chelsea families book it for the days when the park is unusable. Bring a snack and a favourite toy; the toy tends to end up in the pictures, which is no bad thing at all.
