London and Surrey Family Photographer / Holland Park Family Photoshoot
I thoroughly enjoyed this photoshoot of a family of five! The family received a gift voucher from their friend as a Christmas present and contacted me to arrange the photoshoot. The shoot was held in gorgeos Holland park, which is one of their favourite spots in London. It was a really hot day and the glaring afternoon sun made photography quite challenging. Luckly, Holland park has many little nooks and crannies so there were planty of choices!
It was such a pleasure getting to know and photographing these young girls, who were telling me all about their aspirations and future plans, as they were setting off to leave home and start University in September.

Children's portrait photography at the Isabella Plantation / Richmond-upon-Thames Family Photographer
I love this time of year when nature goes into overdrive! It doesn't seem that long ago when trees were bare and there were hardly any flowers around. Beginning of May is prime time for flowering rhododendrons and azaleas, and I just love visiting Isabella Plantation during this time of year. Before I moved out of Richmond, I would go a few times a week to enjoy the sights and smells, and try to predict when the 'peak' of flowering would be. Not sure if I cought the peak this year, but I did catch a cheeky little girl playing hide and seek with my camera!

North London Family Photography / Richmond-upon-Thames and Surrey Family Photographer
I am making the most of being snowed in to catch up with my blog posts! I have done a family photoshoot for Mumta and her family back in December, the weekend after another snow storm parts of the country have experienced. The traffic was so bad it was reminiscent of apocaliptic film scences and we had to re-arrange our photo session. It was cold but sunny on the day of our photoshoot, and it was lovely to catch up with Mumta and her family which has grown since the last time I photographed them. The family was moving countries so wanted to have a few photos of their home and their local walk as a memory before they imigrated. It was great fun (although a bit of a challenge!) trying to follow the kids play and take some action shots but I am really pleased with the resulting images. I hope these photos provide a lasting memory for the family, and I can't wait to see them all when (and if ) they come back to Britain! If you would like to enquire about or arrange a family photo session, please contact me - I would love to hear from you!
Ruskin Park Family Photoshoot / Richmond upon Thames Family Photographer
It is wonderful taking photographs for return clients as I get to see their family grow and expand. I photographed Emma and her family on a few occasions before, and this time we arranged the photo session to mark her younger daughter's first birthday. We met in beautiful Ruskin park in Denmark Hill to take some location shots. I passed by the park many times and always wanted to visit but never had an opportunity. The park was named afrter John Ruskin, who was a prominant art critic in the Victorian era and lived in the area. I also discovered that it was used as a location for Pink Floyd's first photoshoot, shot by photographer Colin Prime. The park, with its many distinct sections, provided the perfect backdrop for family photographs. It was a beautiful but very cold November morning when we met, still a few leaves left on some of the branches. I took several family portraits around the bandstand, and then moved around the park to find suitable backdrops for children portraits and action shots (and to keep warm!). After about an hour in the cold, we headed back for a cup of tea and some play time at home. There I captured the girls having some quiet reading time with their dad, playing games and enjoying each other's company. Here is a selection of some of the photos from the day. Hope you enjoy them!

Family Photographer London and Surrey / St Day celebration
Today is my family Slava, a serbian orthodox tradition celebrating our family's patron saint, archangel Michael. It is a day spent with family and friends, so to mark the day I look back at some of my recent photoshoots which captured happy families across London and Surrey.
Bushy Park Family Photography / Surrey Family Photographer
Happy 1st birthday Ava! I was so delighted to mark this big milestone in this little girl's life with a series of family portraits in beautiful Bushy park. I think we often forget the importance of family portraits especially in today's digital age where we take thousands of selfies and photos of our children, but rarely include the whole family. It is only with the passage of time that we look back on family portraits and appreciate them even more than at the time of taking them. I certanly do! I hope these photos will be a lasting memory for Ava in years to come.
Camberwell Family Photography / London Family Photographer
I've taken these photos of my dear friend Emma and her family a few weeks ago to mark the birth of her second daughter, Clara. I photographed Ellie a couple of times since she was born and it was so nice to see her become big sister. Last time I photographed her, she was about one and not nearly as active as she was this time. I had a fun (and challenging!) time trying to capture Ellie being thrown in the air, up on the swings or hiding behind a tree - it was a good practice for my action photography! After the park session we went back home to warm up with some tea, and to take a few more shots of Clara on her own and the girls together. I love the photo where both of them are lying on the floor looking up at the camera! This family photo session in Camberwell was lively and fun, and definitely one of my favourites so far!
Pet and Family photoshoot / London Dog Photographer
I recently did a fun family & pet photo session for a client in Hampton who wanted some photos taken of her dog and two boys, with the aim to frame three photos and give them as a gift to her husband. For these, I photographed the dog and kids against a white background and framed the shot to only show top half of the head. We went out for the second half of the session and enjoyed a crisp sunny winter day in beautiful Bushy Park. You can see a selection of photos from that session below.

Hampton Hill family photography, Greater London
Fiona has been a long term client of mine so I was really excited when she asked me to take some photos during her sister's visit from Hong Kong.
I love doing family photography in Hampton - lots of lovely parks for outdoor photography and for kids to play in. The boys enjoyed running around the playground and it was great fun to photograph them all three playing and interacting.

London family photography, Dulwich and Peckham Rye
I photographed Ellie and her parents in Peckham Rye Park and Common a few weeks ago, on a bright and sunny July morning. Ellie started walking not so long ago so she was very enthusiastic to practice her newly found skill.
As a London and Surrey family photographer, I get to discover new places and spend time with families in their favourite parks. Peckham Rye Park has some terrific areas and backgrounds for photography, with pretty gardens, open spaces and wild areas. My family photo sessions are always done at a location of your choice, and are tailored to your specific needs.
