Based in Chelsea, yeliz atici photography specialises in natural, intimate family and newborn sessions. Yeliz captures candid, relaxed moments to create timeless family portraits.
Yeliz Atici is a Chelsea-based family photographer who specialises in capturing the quiet, authentic moments that make family life unique. At yeliz atici photography the focus is on natural, intimate images that feel lived-in rather than staged. Yeliz blends a gentle documentary approach with fine-art sensibilities to create portraits that are both honest and beautifully composed—perfect for families who want photographs that reflect real connection and personality. Why choose Yeliz? Her sessions are shaped by a calm, warm presence that helps children and parents relax. Rather than directing every pose, Yeliz looks for small gestures—shared laughter, a protective embrace, the way a child leans into a parent—and uses those moments as the foundation for portraits. This results in images that feel spontaneous and emotional, yet carefully considered in light and composition. Working in Chelsea and nearby London neighbourhoods, she knows locations and light that flatter a variety of family dynamics, whether in-home, in a favourite park, or at a local landmark. How she works: Every family session begins with a short consultation to understand your routine, preferences and any special details you want to preserve. On the day, Yeliz creates a relaxed atmosphere with gentle guidance and plenty of flexibility—perfect for working with babies and young children. For newborns, she places safety and comfort first, allowing natural interactions to lead the session so parents feel at ease and babies remain calm. After the shoot, Yeliz hand-selects and carefully edits images to produce a cohesive collection of portraits and candid moments. Her approach is personal and collaborative: families often comment that the sessions feel more like an extended visit than a formal photoshoot. Yeliz also brings her experience teaching fine-art photography into her family work, helping clients understand how to prepare and what to expect while maintaining a focus on authenticity. Whether you’re after a relaxed family portrait, a newborn lifestyle session, or keepsake images of everyday moments, yeliz atici photography in Chelsea offers a considered, heartfelt way to preserve your family’s story.
