London Family Photography with Teenagers in Hampstead Heath

As a North London family photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with this family many times over the years, documenting the precious changes as children grow up and family bonds deepen. My third session with this beautiful family was particularly special. With two teenagers, our photoshoot took place in one of London’s most stunning natural settings—Hampstead Heath. Known for its mix of heathland, enchanting woodlands, and breathtaking views of the city, Hampstead Heath offers a perfect setting for capturing candid, relaxed moments that highlight the unique personalities of teenagers.

London offers a rich blend of history and modernity, and there's no better way to document these fleeting moments than with a London vacation family photoshoot in some of the city's most iconic locations. From the majestic Tower Bridge to the breathtaking St. Paul’s Cathedral, these landmarks are more than just postcard-perfect—they are spaces where memories are made, and stories are captured for generations to come.

Fun and relaxed vacation photography in London

One could say capturing stunning travel memories is about London’s iconic landmarks and architecture, but I would argue it’s about love. Despite a lot of unpredictable weather and cold mornings, each image will carry the story of an adventure full of joy and love. And if you have a toddler, it might be a story of runny noses, mushy kisses, scrapped knees, messy snacks and even more cuddles. Fundamentally, a great family vacation album is about connection. Will your little one remember the sights or how it felt being on an adventure together. I can promise you it’s the latter.

LONDON VACATION PHOTOGRAPHER - fun sessions around London’s iconic landmarks

How do I find a photographer whilst traveling? If you are looking for a vacation photographer, ask yourself ‘‘What do I want to remember?’’. Is it the cultural experiences, the food, the walking around beautiful landmarks or is it loving moments of connection with the little ones? The latter is what moves me to create art with your family.

How to Say Goodbye to London with a Landmarks Family Photoshoot

It might be my experience alone, but it feels that post-covid so many families are either leaving or thinking about leaving London. This year I photographed at least five families that left London for good to be closer to their extended family. The pandemic showed the importance of having a community, especially when you have young children.

So you lived here for a number of years, you had your baby here, this is the place where you became a family. How to say goodbye to London in a way that would honor the amazing time you had here?

Newborn photography in Wimbledon

Newborn photography in Wimbledon

If I had to define my newborn photography style, it would be "finding romance in the mundane". The routine of daily tasks feels so overwhelming when you have a young baby, like an outside force that took your life over. It's hard and it's beautiful. And I love capturing it all: the feeding around the clock, the shushing to sleep, the holding the baby for a peaceful sleep, the lullabies, the grandparents visiting from different continents to act as support system, the milk spit ups, the overprotective pet sibling, the quietness and the peace…
