Family, maternity and newborn photographer in London and Surrey
Artful. Honest. Felt.
A CONSIDERED APPROACH TO YOUR FAMILY’S STORY
The sessions are calm and unhurried, without pressure or performance — whether you’re holding your newborn, walking together outdoors, or simply being at home as you are.
You can expect gentle guidance when it helps and quiet space when it matters most, ensuring the experience feels grounded and effortless. The goal is never perfection; it is always connection.
The result is a soulful archive of images that are as artful as they are honest—and entirely true to you.
These are the days worth stepping in the frame for.
BEHIND THE CAMERA
I’m Alina - a photographer and mother working with families in London.
Motherhood changed the way I see time, memory and what’s worth holding onto. My work grew from a desire to preserve not just how things looked, but how they felt.
I know the mental load that comes with organising a session, so I am here to take that weight off you. From our first styling chat on WhatsApp to the final design of your bespoke family album, I provide a gentle structure while remaining flexible enough to go with the flow. I handle the practical details so that you feel supported, held, and entirely at ease from start to finish.
Explore the sessions
Wherever you are on this journey, each session is entirely bespoke, tailored to the unique rhythm of your home and the people you love.
Newborn
My newborn sessions are calm and baby-led, with plenty of time for feeds, changes, and cuddles so you can simply enjoy these early moments while I take care of the rest.
At home or in the Richmond newborn photography studio, I focus on natural, soulful images centred on connection, not posed perfection.

“Alina is amazing and I highly recommend her. Before the photoshoot, she took a lot of trouble to get to know us as a family, and gave us great tips on how to prepare for the shoot.
On the day she was a warm and calming presence which helped everyone relax and allowed us to get lovely candid photos, as well as some posed ones. Everyone thought she was great.
Beyond getting the photos (which are beautiful), it was also genuinely a really fun experience that I think our family will always remember. I'm so glad that we created and captured these special moments, and so thankful to Alina for both the experience and the photos.”
— Nilmini, family session
The experience
From the very first email to the final gallery, my goal is to make this effortless. No stiff poses, no stress - just gentle guidance, a seamless experience, and space for you to simply be with the people you love.
How does it work?
Fill out the contact form. This helps me gather all the important details to get started! I will get back to you within 48 hours (if you don’t hear from me, please check your junk folder as sometimes emails get lost there!).
Book your session. We’ll find the date for your session and I will send you an online booking link. A non-refundable deposit of £250 is required to secure your date which will be deducted from your session fee.
Virtual consultation. Once you’re booked in, we’ll schedule a virtual consultation (usually over the phone) to get to know each other and prepare for your session.
Stay connected. In the run-up to your shoot, I’m here for you on WhatsApp. You can message me anytime with questions, outfit ideas, or anything that comes to mind. I believe that building a connection beforehand helps you feel more at ease on the day — and leads to more natural, emotive photographs.
The remainder of your session fee is due one week before your shoot.
Shoot day. Enjoy your experience on the day!
Receive your gallery. Your images will be ready to view within 30 days.

“We couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything was easy from start to finish. Alina is very warm and professional, letting things flow naturally while suggesting good ideas at the same time. She was very kind and patient with my toddler and we ended up with a lovely gallery of family photos that we will treasure forever.”
