First Birthday Photography with Extended Family in North London

Celebrating a First Birthday with Extended Family in Marylebone: A Moment to Remember

I recently had the incredible honour of capturing another milestone for a beautiful family I’ve had the pleasure of photographing four times now. There’s something incredibly special about a baby’s first birthday. It’s a milestone that marks a year of growth, love, and so many cherished moments. This time, we gathered in the stunning Marylebone in North London to celebrate a very special first birthday. What made this shoot even more memorable was the presence of the entire extended family, all there to share in the joy of this little one’s big day.

There’s something truly magical about these moments—where generations come together, all gathered around this tiny human, celebrating not just a birthday, but the love, support, and connection that runs deep in a family.

Why Extended Family Shoots are So Meaningful

Family photoshoots hold a special place in my heart because, in a way, I see myself in these images. I see that child surrounded by their tribe, their roots, the people who are always there to catch them, to love them, and to just be there. There’s so much power in that. To show a child, through photos, that they are loved and supported by this network of family—it’s the most incredible gift you can give them.

More of that, please. More moments where we pause and capture the beauty of family, the power of connection, and the simple act of being together. If you’re in North London or anywhere nearby, and you’re looking to capture those special moments with your extended family, let’s connect. Whether it’s a first birthday, a reunion, or just because, these are the moments that matter, and I’d love to help you capture them.
