B Photo

B Photo is Barbara Sylvester’s family-focused photography studio, specialising in warm, natural family portraits across Barnes and West London. With more than two decades of experience photographing children, babies and growing families, Barbara has developed a calm, conversational style that helps even the most camera-shy children relax and enjoy the session. That ease translates into authentic images you’ll cherish for generations. Why choose B Photo? Barbara combines professional training and membership of industry bodies with a gentle, patient approach honed by years of working with newborns and young children. She understands the rhythms of family life and the unpredictable moments that make every family unique — from a newborn’s sleepy curl to a toddler’s big grin. Her studio sessions and location shoots prioritise connection and fun, so portraits feel natural rather than staged. How Barbara works with families: every session begins with a friendly pre-shoot consultation call to plan the shoot, answer questions, and make you feel confident about shoot day. On the day, Barbara creates a relaxed atmosphere, guiding poses with clear, warm direction and lots of encouragement. Quick turnarounds and easy private online galleries mean you can view and share your images from home. For families wanting a regular visual timeline, Barbara’s Portrait Club offers short, frequent mini-sessions to capture a child’s development across a year. Specialist newborn and children care: Barbara’s studio is baby-friendly and equipped for newborn comfort. She has trained other photographers in newborn handling and is frequently praised for her patience and gentle manner. Cake-smash and birthday sessions are designed to be fun and fuss-free — the studio supplies props and backdrops so families can simply enjoy the moment. B Photo believes in creating heirlooms, not just photos. Barbara’s emphasis is on storytelling portraits that reflect your family’s personality, whether you want classic studio portraits, relaxed location images, or joyful milestone shoots. If you’re in Barnes or nearby and want a family photographer who listens, plans with care and delivers heartfelt results, B Photo is here to help you preserve those moments.
