Choosing the Right Location for Your Shoot
Whether you’re drawn to the calm of the studio, the comfort of home or the soft golden light of sunset outdoors, I offer three different location options for your shoot. Each creates a completely different feel and experience, so there’s no right or wrong choice, it simply comes down to what feels most like you and your family.
Studio Sessions
My natural light studio in Wimbledon has been designed to feel calm, cosy and completely relaxed, a peaceful little escape from the outside world where everything is ready for you the moment you arrive. From the soft neutral decor and beautiful natural light, to the carefully curated wardrobe available for mums and babies, every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create timeless, natural photographs.
One of the things clients love most about the studio is how easy it feels. You don’t need to worry about tidying your home, checking the weather or bringing lots with you. You simply turn up and settle in while I take care of the rest.
Studio sessions are especially perfect for newborn, maternity and sitter shoots, offering a warm, comfortable environment where everything can stay calm and unhurried. They’re also ideal if you’re feeling a little nervous about being photographed, as I gently guide you throughout while keeping the experience relaxed and natural.
In Home Sessions
In home sessions offer a more relaxed, lifestyle approach to photography, focusing on natural connection and genuine moments within the comfort of your own home. As a London newborn and family photographer, I use the available natural light and spaces within your home to create calm, emotive images that feel personal to your family and this chapter of life.
The overall feel is less posed and more centred around cuddles, feeding, play and simply spending time together naturally. These sessions can work beautifully for newborn, baby and family photography, particularly if you love the idea of capturing this season of life in a space that already feels meaningful to you.
For home sessions to work well photographically, your home does need to have good natural light along with enough clear space near windows for me to work comfortably.
I travel across South West London for in home newborn and family photography sessions, including Wimbledon, Putney, Clapham, Wandsworth, Richmond and surrounding areas. For locations further away, additional travel fees may apply depending on distance.
Sunset Sessions
My sunset sessions take place outdoors during the hour before sunset, using the soft golden light you see throughout my portfolio. These sessions are perfect for anyone who feels drawn to nature and being outside, with a more relaxed, natural feel to the images.
Think barefoot walks, open space, long grass, soft golden light and children free to explore.
My sunset sessions take place in the iconic Richmond Park in South West London. I’ve been photographing here for many years and know exactly where the light falls best throughout the seasons, along with the most beautiful spots for that soft, natural feel you see throughout my work. Richmond Park also offers the chance to include some of its beautiful natural surroundings and wildlife within your photographs too.
These sessions are less about perfectly posed images and more about connection, movement and capturing moments naturally as they unfold.
Whether you already know which setting feels right or you’re still deciding between the studio, home or sunset outdoors, I’m always happy to help guide you towards the option that best suits your family and the kind of images you’re drawn to.
