St Albans and nearby
Families throughout Radlett, Abbots Langley choose us for cake smash milestones and relaxed group portraits across the generations. We let toddlers explore and play, and photograph the joy on their faces as it happens. We balance a few relaxed group portraits with plenty of natural, candid moments between the generations.
With thousands of sessions behind us, we read a child's mood quickly and adapt without missing a moment. We are trusted with families across the generations, and grandparents relax with us as easily as toddlers do.

What we offer
The family dog is part of the family too, and we are glad to include them in your session.
Gentle, unhurried portraits of your baby's first days, taken safely and calmly in our warm studio.
Heated, welcoming and stocked for newborns, so even the smallest sessions feel comfortable.
Local and experienced
For newborns we work slowly and gently, keeping baby warm, safe and settled throughout. We are used to the unpredictability of little ones, and we roll with tears, wriggles and sudden naps with a smile.
Maternity sessions celebrate this stage with calm, flattering portraits, in the studio or outdoors. A cake smash session captures the anticipation, the mess and the delight, a wonderful way to mark a first birthday.

Good to know
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. Getting to St Albans is straightforward for us: St Albans City station sits on the Thameslink Midland Main Line with fast services to London St Pancras, and the M25 and M1 are close by.
We do, and it is a real favourite of ours. Babies from all around visit our warm studio, where we take things gently and at their own pace. Your little one stays settled and safe from start to finish, with no rushing whatsoever. St Albans and neighbouring Redbourn, Wheathampstead and Sandridge are all covered.
Very much so. Our Northwood studio is warm, welcoming and stocked with everything newborns and toddlers need to feel comfortable. It is a safe, relaxed space where children settle quickly, and parents can enjoy the session as much as the little ones. Open air sessions near St Albans tend to use Verulamium Park, over 100 acres of parkland with lakes beside the cathedral.
Yes. From a couple with a newborn to four generations gathered together, we are used to family groups of every size. We keep larger sessions moving and light, so even the youngest do not lose patience and everyone gets their moment. St Albans landmarks we photograph near include St Albans Cathedral, whose great tower reuses Roman bricks from Verulamium.
Ideally within the first fortnight, when newborns are sleepiest and easiest to settle. Many St Albans parents contact us during pregnancy, which we love, because we can then pencil in a date around when baby is due and be prepared for the big day.
