Light by Lexi is a family photography specialist rooted in Earlsfield and the heart of SW London. Alex’s approach is founded on storytelling—a reportage-led style honed from her days as a BBC journalist—so every family photoshoot is about capturing the real, unscripted moments that make your story unique. She focuses on relaxed, joyful imagery that shows families as they really are: laughing, imperfect, and full of life. Why choose Alex? She understands that being in front of the camera can feel awkward. Her warm, friendly manner immediately puts people at ease, turning what could be a stiff portrait session into a relaxed, fun outing. As a mother herself, Alex has patience and practical experience with newborns, babies, children and the unpredictability that comes with family shoots. She uses playful techniques—music, hand puppets and gentle humour—to coax genuine smiles and spontaneous moments, and pets are not only welcome but encouraged. What makes the Light by Lexi family photoshoot special is the blend of journalistic instinct and creative composition. Alex pays attention to light, gesture and small details that tell your family’s story. Whether you prefer the comfort of home, a meaningful local spot in Earlsfield, or a favourite park like Richmond Park or Wimbledon Common, she collaborates with you to choose the setting that best reflects your family’s personality. How she works: first, a conversation to understand what matters to you. On the day Alex brings charm, sensitivity and a calm energy to guide everyone through the shoot—checking in regularly so you always feel involved and happy with the results. She’s adaptive with weather and timeline, turning rainy days into atmospheric, memorable images when needed. After the session she applies careful, considered editing to ensure each photograph looks natural and true to life.
