Alexandru - Family Photographer

Alexandru - Family Photographer is a Chingford-based specialist in family and maternity photography, dedicated to creating timeless portraits that celebrate real connections. With more than seven years’ experience and thousands of families photographed, Alexandru brings a calm, confident approach that helps even the shyest children and new parents relax in front of the lens. Why choose Alexandru? Because family is the core of his work. He combines technical skill with a warm, personal touch: studio sessions use classic backdrops, professional lighting and a carefully curated collection of maternity gowns and props, while outdoor lifestyle shoots deliver natural, spontaneous images in a comfortable setting. Safety and comfort are central — sessions are run as a team so you can focus on moments while Alexandru captures them and his assistant looks after newborn safety, wardrobe and ensuring everyone feels at ease. What makes the approach special is its focus on authenticity and simplicity. Alexandru favours clean, timeless compositions that highlight the bond between parents, siblings and babies rather than trendy effects that date quickly. Posing guidance is gentle and practical — he knows how to get a toddler to laugh, how to position expectant mothers for flattering silhouettes, and how to photograph newborns with patience and sensitivity. Editing is thoughtful and natural: blemishes and distractions are toned down, skin is smoothed subtly, and final images retain a genuine, classic feel. How it works: the process is collaborative and straightforward. Before your session Alexandru will discuss your vision and suggest wardrobe and styling options from the studio’s selection or your own favourites. On the day, the atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly — there’s time for cuddles, outfit changes and a measured pace that suits babies and young children. After the shoot you select your favourites from a private gallery and receive carefully retouched high-resolution images. Based in Chingford, Alexandru specialises in maternity and family photography while also offering newborn and children portrait work. If you want natural, enduring family portraits crafted by a photographer who understands families and newborn safety, Alexandru provides a professional, reassuring experience designed to turn fleeting moments into images you’ll treasure for years.
