Life moves too fast. We can’t slow it down, but we can document the moments that matter.
As a newborn, maternity and family photographer, I am here to help you press pause and capture the way this season feels. With a relaxed, natural approach and gentle guidance, I create artful and emotive images that will bring you back to these days, long after they’ve passed.

BEHIND THE LENS
Maternity, newborn & family
photographer in London.
Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — but it was motherhood that gave it depth and meaning.
As mothers, we’re so often the ones behind the camera, quietly documenting the everyday. But these early years pass quickly, and one day, your children will look back and want to see you there — held in the frame, present in the memory.
Apple Grove Studio was born from that idea: to create space for mothers to step into the picture. Each session is a chance to slow down, to connect, and to witness your family just as it is in this season. The moments might feel ordinary now, but they are the ones you’ll return to for years to come.

"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."

“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."

“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.”

"Alina did both my maternity and newborn photo shoots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. She made me feel very comfortable during the maternity shoot and let our baby take the lead during the newborn photos so he was relaxed and content. She has an amazing talent for staging photos and captured some beautiful candid moments as well. 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. We’re so happy Alina was able to capture these very special late pregnancy and early newborn days that passed by so quickly!"
