THIS IS MORE THAN A PHOTOSHOOT
…this is your moment to slow down and turn your story into art.
You’re holding a new season of life within you — and I’m here to step quietly into your story, weaving together those raw, tender moments and turning them into timeless art. My approach is gentle and nurturing, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and truly seen.
Each maternity and newborn session is crafted with care and intention, thoughtfully designed to reflect you and your family in an authentic, heartfelt way. I’ll guide you through every step, from our first planning call to wardrobe suggestions and gentle prompts during your session, making sure you feel relaxed and at ease.
Every detail is considered so you can simply be present — and receive a gallery of images that feel honest, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
“My maternity shoot was nothing short of magical..
It felt like a moment to pause and really connect with my baby before everything changes. Being out in Richmond park, surrounded by golden light, was so peaceful. Alina was incredibly kind and made me feel completely at ease from the start. The outfits she brought were beautiful and made me feel elegant and confident. I’ll always treasure the images from that evening - they captured this special time in the most beautiful way.”

She made me feel so comfortable during the maternity session, really listening to my vision for the shoot and helping me with outfit options. She let our baby take the lead during the newborn photos so he was calm and content throughout.
Alina gave just the right amount of guidance while still allowing space for natural, unposed moments — and captured so many beautiful, candid shots we’ll treasure forever. Seeing myself in the maternity photos gave me such a lift at a time when I didn’t quite feel like myself.”

“Alina did both my maternity and newborn shoots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

“ I was thrilled with the images and with the experience…
By some small miracle, Alina was able to fit me in relatively last minute and I am SO pleased we could make it work. From booking to receiving the final gallery I couldn’t have asked for better. This is my first pregnancy (and first maternity shoot) so I had no idea what to expect and was a little nervous but Alina made me feel so comfortable straight away. The shoot itself was so fun and I loved the range of outfits Alina had, and I appreciated that she made some of my own outfits work too. When I received my images, I was thrilled. They were even better than I expected, and I can’t wait to frame the prints I ordered to celebrate such a magical time. Couldn’t recommend Alina at Apple Grove Studio more, and I hope to book in with her in the future with baby girl once she’s arrived!”

FAQs
When do I book?
Maternity sessions – The best time is usually between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable.
Newborn sessions – babies can be captured in all their fresh newness in the first 2–3 weeks, but there are no firm rules. If you’d rather wait a little longer, that’s absolutely fine too. If the baby is early or late, there’s always room for wiggling.
What time do the sessions take place?
Outdoor sessions – Shot at sunrise or sunset for the most beautiful light.
In-home sessions – Start at 11 am, when your home is filled with soft, natural light.
Studio sessions – Between 10 am and 2 pm, when the light is best in the studio.
What if we need to reschedule?
If you or your baby are unwell, we can reschedule—no stress at all. Life happens, and I want you to feel your best and most comfortable for your session.
For outdoor sessions, if the weather doesn’t cooperate (rain, strong winds), we will work to find an alternative date, or move the session to the studio. I’ll always keep an eye on the forecast and be in touch if we need a backup plan.
Where is your studio?
Apple Grove Studio is in St Margarets (TW1 postcode), easily accessible from Central and West London and Surrey. St Margarets, Twickenham and Richmond stations are all within walking distance. If you’re driving, there is a private car park at the studio.
Do you travel for sessions?
I offer in-home newborn sessions across London and love photographing families outdoors, especially in Richmond Park. Travel within 10 miles of the studio is included—beyond that, there may be a small travel fee.
What if my baby doesn’t settle / my child doesn’t behave?
Newborn sessions are completely baby-led. There’s no rush, no pressure—we take our time, with breaks for feeding, cuddles, and settling. If your baby needs extra comfort, we simply pause and go with their rhythm.
For older children, please don’t worry—I’m a mum myself and have plenty of experience with little ones. The best thing to do is let kids be kids. Some of the most beautiful moments happen in the in-between—when they’re running, twirling, snuggling into you, or even having a quiet moment on their own. Sessions are designed to feel relaxed and natural, so there’s no need to stress if your child is a little wild or shy. We’ll go with their flow and capture them exactly as they are.
Do you provide outfits?
Yes! I have a collection of soft, timeless pieces for mums, most of which are pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly. You’re welcome to use anything from my client wardrobe, and during your virtual consultation I also provide styling guidance so your whole family looks beautifully cohesive.
