Helena M Photography is a Bath-based specialist in family photography. Helena captures natural, creative portraits of families, children and newborns in relaxed, story-led sessions.
Helena M Photography — led by Helena Miscioscia — is a specialist family photographer based in Bath, dedicated to capturing the small, ordinary moments that become treasured memories. Helena’s work is rooted in a natural, creative approach: she looks for real connection, gentle interactions and spontaneous laughter rather than staged poses. The result is a timeless collection of images that feel honest, warm and unmistakably you. Why choose Helena for your family photos? She treats each session as a personal story. Whether you prefer an easygoing outdoor shoot around Bath’s favourite parks and riverbanks or a cosy at-home newborn session, Helena builds calm, friendly sessions that let families relax and be themselves. Her aim is to photograph the atmosphere and relationships in front of her lens — the quiet cuddles, the playful chaos of children, and the quiet, candid glances that reveal a family’s personality. Helena’s process is simple and thoughtful. Before your shoot she takes time to understand what matters to you — favourite locations, meaningful routines, or any particular moments you hope to capture. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere with gentle direction, encouraging natural movement and interaction rather than forced smiles. For newborn family sessions she works slowly and patiently, allowing time for feeds and settling so the baby (and parents) feel comfortable — often staying longer when needed to capture those dreamlike first days. While family photography is her core focus, Helena’s broader experience with maternity and portrait work informs a sensitive, considered approach to lighting and composition. She combines documentary-style storytelling with creative, natural editing to deliver images that will look beautiful now and for years to come. Based in Bath and serving families throughout Somerset and the surrounding area, Helena M Photography specialises in creating relaxed, story-led family photographs that reflect who you are. If you want photographs that feel like real life — honest, warm and full of connection — Helena’s approach offers gentle expertise and a calm, creative eye.
