Newborn photography in West London and Surrey
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.
As a mother myself, I know just how tender and overwhelming the early days can feel. That’s why I’ve designed every part of the newborn experience to be calm, kind, and completely baby-led. From the pace of the session to the way I work with your little one, everything is done with softness and care. I’ll guide you gently through each step — from our first planning call, to wardrobe suggestions and thoughtful prompts — so you never feel rushed or unsure.
Whether we’re shooting in my peaceful studio or the comfort of your home, every detail is considered so you can simply be present — and receive a gallery of images that feel honest, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
“Our newborn photos brought tears to my eyes...
“As first-time parents, we were nervous and unsure of what to expect — but from the moment we met Alina, we felt completely at ease. She was so kind and gentle with our baby, caring for them with such tenderness it brought tears to my eyes when I saw the final gallery. The entire experience felt calm and unhurried, and her warmth made it feel more like a visit with a friend than a photo session. The photos she captured are honest, emotional, and so beautiful — we’ll treasure them forever.”

“ We loved the photos and the experience…
We had our newborn session with Alina at her home studio and the whole experience was so relaxed and comforting — exactly what we needed in those early days. As soon as we arrived, Alina’s warmth put us completely at ease. She’s incredibly experienced and gently guided us through everything while still listening to our ideas. Nothing felt posed or forced — we spent most of the time chatting while she captured the sweetest, most natural moments. We’re so in love with our gallery and couldn’t recommend her more.”

You'll not only enjoy significant savings but we'll also build a deeper connection. Getting to know you and your family over multiple sessions allows me to capture your genuine emotions and interactions beautifully at every stage.
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.”
— Melissa
“Alina did both my maternity and newborn shoots and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

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?
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.
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.
