Chiswick-based family photographer Alastair Hilton creates relaxed, natural family portraits — newborns, children, baptisms and birthdays — capturing the moments you’ll treasure.
If you want family photographs that feel genuine, personal and joyful, choose a photographer who specialises in family work. Based in Chiswick, Alastair Hilton is a family photography specialist whose relaxed, conversational approach turns awkwardness into natural smiles. From newborns and babies to children’s portraiture, baptisms, communions and milestone birthdays, Alastair focuses on the relationships and little gestures that make each family unique. Why choose Alastair? He treats every family photoshoot as its own story. Years of portrait experience mean he knows how to find flattering light, calm restless little ones and create a friendly atmosphere where authentic moments happen. Most clients arrive saying, “I hate having my photo taken.” Five minutes in, they’ve forgotten the camera and are enjoying themselves — and those are the moments that become the best images. Alastair’s style is natural, warm and timeless. He combines posed group portraits with candid, documentary-style frames so you end up with a varied collection: relaxed family portraits, close-up connections and playful images of children being themselves. He’s familiar with the best locations across Chiswick and greater London — from leafy parks to riverside spots — and will happily recommend settings that suit your family’s personality. The shoot is designed around your needs: a calm, enjoyable session where children feel free to be kids and parents can relax. Alastair keeps things simple and unhurried, guiding everyone with gentle direction so even camera-shy family members look and feel their best. His published work for London publications and organisations underscores a professional eye and dependable craft. Whether you’re booking a newborn session, a child’s birthday shoot, or a multi-generation family portrait, Alastair positions family photography at the centre of his practice. If you value photographs that capture real connection — not just smiles for the camera — book a family photoshoot in Chiswick with a specialist who cares about your memories as much as you do.
