BEHIND THE LENS

Maternity, newborn & family
photographer in London.

Photography became my creative anchor during motherhood - as a way to notice things more deeply and to express the complex emotion of this season. That’s what I seek in every session: something honest, a little bit cinematic, and full of feeling.

Each session is thoughtfully crafted to create artistic imagery with an editorial feel, rooted in emotion and shaped by storytelling.

Before photography, I spent years in the corporate world — a chapter that taught me structure, reliability, and the value of doing things with intention. I bring that same thoughtfulness to your experience. You can expect a warm, calm presence, and a natural sensitivity to your family’s rhythm.

"We had such a fantastic experience with Alina who made the entire session feel relaxed and natural. Her calm, friendly presence allowed our whole family to just be ourselves — even with kids running free! Nothing felt staged, yet she captured the laughter, connection, and real atmosphere of the day so beautifully. The gallery we received was absolutely stunning and the photos truly felt like us. We’re incredibly grateful and will treasure these memories forever. "

- Mekida, Twickenham
“We have trusted Alina to capture our family life for over four years now. She’s warm, thoughtful, creative, great with children and manages the chaos of photographing a large family with grace and professionalism. We are delighted with the photos - artistic yet natural, they capture the authentic intimate moments of our life as a family.”

Connie, Shepherd’s Bush
"Alina has taken such beautiful and ‘real’ photos of our family and home life. We didn’t want anything to feel staged or posed, and she just followed us about, held babies, entertained toddlers, taking photos as she went. Alina is such a joy to be around. The results are just amazing because we’re all so relaxed! I couldn’t recommend her more."

Emily, Teddington
“Alina has managed to capture so many precious moments of me and my firstborn in these early days, and for that I am so so grateful! The photos are absolutely beautiful, and really capture the personality of our little family. Alina made us both feel very comfortable and the whole experience was easy and smooth."

Alex, Sunbury
"Alina did both my maternity and newborn photo shoots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. She made us feel very comfortable and let our baby take the lead during the newborn photos so he was relaxed and content. The photos we received were absolutely stunning! Seeing myself in the maternity photos was also a boost to my self esteem when I was feeling less like myself at the end of pregnancy.

Melissa, Kew

This is about more than images — it’s about what it felt like to be together.
