Winter family photoshoot on Hampstead Heath NW3
Winter in London often gets a bad rap. The grey skies, drizzle, and early sunsets can feel miles away from the golden sunshine of California, especially for families making the big move across the Atlantic. But as a photographer, I’ve come to love the unique charm of a London winter—especially when it’s brought to life by the warmth and love of a family.
This recent photoshoot on Hampstead Heath was one of those magical sessions where the weather took a backseat, and the connection between the family truly stole the show.

Celebrating a Baby's First Birthday with an Extended Family Photo Shoot in Hampstead Heath
I recently had the joy of photographing a very special family gathering in Hampstead Heath to celebrate a baby’s first birthday. What made this session even more meaningful was that family members travelled from three different countries to be there. Our little celebration in Hampstead Heath on a windy British summer day is proof that babies aren’t interested in extravagant gifts—they thrive on attention, love, and those all-important cuddles.

The drama of parenting with its moments of intimacy, abandon, sweetness and laughter is something that informs my family photography. I love meeting families year after year, capturing up close they way families express their love, their inside jokes, their upset or their joy; an honest depiction of family ties.

A family photo is not simply a stroll down memory lane, it's a powerful portrait of how LOVE works. The belly laughs, the big kisses, the tenderness of reaching hands, and the togetherness are the essence of this incredible journey some call parenthood. So if you've ever thought that your children are hard to photograph, let me change your mind and show you just how incredible your family is!

Is it honest? If so, then I am proud of the portraits I am able to capture for the families I meet. Also true when children are older. If anything, these photos with teens and teenagers are even more special.
