Diana Pavlova Photography

I am Diana — a Chelsea-based family photographer dedicated to creating timeless portraits that become a family's visual legacy. For over eight years I have specialised in family photography, helping parents preserve the small, telling moments that shape identity: the way a child leans into a parent, a shared laugh, the quiet tenderness of everyday life. My aim is simple: joy in the moment, excellence in the result. What sets my family work apart is a gentle, heartfelt approach combined with meticulous attention to detail. Sessions feel relaxed and playful — guided so that natural interactions and honest emotion come through — yet the finished images are polished, considered and made to last. I encourage parents to be in the frame: years from now your children will value the memory of you being present more than anything else. Many families tell me they’re surprised by how effortless the shoot felt and how refined the photographs turned out. I offer both in‑home sessions and a modern, minimalist studio in the heart of Chelsea. No space is too small or too dark: I bring my own lighting to ensure a bright, airy aesthetic that complements your home and family. My process is collaborative and calm — we discuss styling and the flow of the session beforehand, I work at your children’s pace, and I make sure dads and busy schedules are accommodated so no one misses the moment. Behind the scenes I invest the same care into editing as I do into the shoot itself; often my post‑production takes several times longer than the session because I treat every photograph as a keepsake. While family photography is my core speciality, I also take on occasional maternity, portrait and event or brand commissions — always bringing the same warmth and craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Chelsea or London who values authenticity, calm direction and heirloom-quality portraits, I’d love to hear about your family. Together we’ll create images that celebrate belonging and will be treasured for generations.
