Your Family
From birth to teenage years - child-led, family documentary & portrait sessions
My family photography includes sessions from birth to the teenage years in and around your home and/or somewhere special to you.
Sessions can take place on any day of the week including weekends, school and bank holidays. Many take place in the spring, summer and autumn, but wintertime can herald great light and opportunities for pictures both inside and out too.
There is no time limit for your session but allow 3-4 hours as a minimum.
I am based in Richmond-upon-Thames but am happy to travel and cover sessions all over London, the home counties and further afield.
By allowing your session to be child-led and in in an environment that is familiar and meaningful to you as a family, everyone can be relaxed and themselves.
My sessions are not an event; they are a day where I record a little slice of your family life with genuine documentary pictures alongside portraits taken at intervals when the moment seems right.
Time and again parents tell me how their sessions not only gave them stunning memories in print to display in their homes, books, and to give as gifts, but memories of the day itself when they put aside the ‘to do’ list and spent time just being together. Memories frozen in time - for you, and for them.
“Anna has an amazing talent in bringing out what makes us ‘us’. ”
“Anna creates beautiful but real images of children - as they really are, not idealised or gilded versions of them.”
Your pictures and my approach at your family photography session
At your session I will capture:
a whole mix of natural documentary-style pictures
portraits of your children individually
portraits of siblings together
a group family photo of you all - and with grandparents and pets if they are present
My focus is to encapsulate character in all its beauty, quirkiness and eccentricity, warmth, humour, high activity, repose, togetherness and individuality.
My aim is to capture you just as you are with pictures that celebrate your relationships and love, will resonate with you, and trigger real memories whenever you look back at them.
At your session, you can expect me to:
connect, engage and play with your children and join in with family activities whilst taking pictures
quietly observe and capture moments as they naturally happen
have ideas for pictures and collaborate with you and your children
A bespoke service from shoot to beautiful printed archival displays
Parents juggle a multitude of pressures and tasks every day. The idea is that you utilise my time, skills and experience to create the images at your session and manage the process afterwards from editing, curating and processing the results through to the creation of beautiful, lasting physical displays. I am a firm believer in the value and longevity of beautifully printed photographs - in a family book, in frames, prints or other more contemporary displays. You can expect an enjoyable, efficient and stress-free experience and a dedicated service from start to finish in which you do the choosing, with my guidance on hand, then relax and I do the rest with results that you are 100% happy with.

I will send you all the details and my full product brochure which details each product alongside visuals, sizes and prices. Once we have found a date, we will arrange a pre-session online meet up so that I can find out a little more about you, we discuss the location/s and start time and give you some useful tips to help you prepare.
