Why choose us
A safe pair of hands in North Finchley
A session starts with the full family together, while everyone is fresh, then moves to smaller groupings and looser moments: siblings racing, a parent lifting a toddler, grandparents walking hand in hand.
Afterwards you go through the online gallery together and pick favourites, with no pressure. We retouch the family images you select with a natural touch and supply them for web and print; canvases, albums, frames and prints can be ordered for your home or for relatives.

Good to know
Family Photographer in North Finchley, FAQs
Yes, if your pet is comfortable with a camera and a bit of fuss. Outdoors suits a dog that is happy on a lead, and parks around North Finchley give room for a short walk between frames; check any park rules for animals first. Bring treats, a lead that looks tidy and someone who can take the animal away once its frames are done.
A cake smash marks a first birthday. After a few portraits, your child is given a cake to explore, squash and taste however they like, and the mess is the point. Talk through the cake and the colours beforehand, and bring a change of clothes.
That is fine, just tell us as soon as you can. Little ones catch colds and have grumpy days, and a session moved to a better week gives far happier pictures than one pushed through. A new date is then arranged around your family's routine.
Yes. The roughly 20-mile area covered for location work comfortably includes North Finchley, which is about 10 miles from Northwood. Victoria Park, Friary Park and Swan Lane Open Space are all options nearby.
Not for long, and it does not need to. Toddlers are photographed in short bursts with games, songs and breaks in between, and some of the best frames are taken mid-run. A playground in Victoria Park or Friary Park can be a reward for a few minutes of cooperation. Bring snacks and plan around nap time.
