Family Photographer London - Relaxed newborn shoot in Hampstead Heath

Let’s debunk one of the most asked questions about family photoshoots. What if my Kids Misbehave During our Photo Session?

I don't believe kids misbehave. Ever! Kids are kids and it is on us to embrace their joy, their struggles, their beauty, their hardships. They are unpredictable and they don’t have filters. They let their personalities and ALL emotions shine through and true love lies in accepting the whole package. I believe it is on us to be present, enjoy it all, because it's the most marvellous of times.

Why I will not make you look at the camera during your newborn session

I agree that posed baby portraits can be very cute, but they are disconnected from what I really wanted to capture for a newborn session which is the beginning of the of the most special and important relationship in your lives. I aim to celebrate true connection, parents and siblings getting to know their new family member, the endless stream of love between you all.

We are all beautiful the way we are, especially newborns and I will never get tired of highlighting that with my family photography.

Relaxed newborn photography in Hampstead Heath

To prove that perfection lies in moments of fun and connection, I leave you with this selection of newborn and family photos from a recent relaxed newborn shoot in Hampstead Heath NW3. From the moment we met, I knew we will have the most wonderful time capturing family portraits together. When you have three kids under the age of six, Hampstead Heath makes for the perfect playground. The woodlands are incredibly wonderful to explore during late Autumn and the tall grass on the heath is so cinematic. My favourite photos is the one with mum breastfeeding her little girl against the autumnal backdrop. A Mother’s homage to Mother Earth.

"The human soul does not merely hunger for beauty, but that we feel most alive in the presence of what is beautiful... Beauty is not a luxury. It ennobles the heart and reminds us of the infinity that is within us. "
- John O'Donoghue
