Earlsfield family specialist creating natural, beautifully lit portraits of babies, children and families. Calm, unhurried sessions with museum-quality wall art and careful retouching.
I’m Rosalind Furlong, a family photographer based in Earlsfield, South West London, and I specialise in creating family portraits that become cherished heirlooms. My practice is rooted in a belief that everyone deserves a thoughtful, well-made portrait — whether that’s a newborn on your kitchen rug, a candid series of toddlers and siblings, or a group portrait to celebrate a birthday, baptism or communion. My approach is gentle, relaxed and deliberately unhurried. I spend time getting to know you so I can capture natural expressions rather than forced smiles. I use a mix of natural light and studio strobes, and I’ll happily photograph you in my home studio, out on nearby Wandsworth Common, or at a favourite family location across South and South West London, Central London and Surrey. Sessions are directed with care — I dislike the word “pose” because it suggests stiffness; instead I guide people to stand, sit or look in ways that flatter and feel genuine. Lighting and retouching are central to my craft. I’m obsessive about light — borrowing techniques inspired by painters I admire — and I use careful post-production to remove distractions while keeping you looking like yourself. I prefer to sell photographs as wall art because I believe images should live on your walls, not only on a screen. I work with two trusted labs to deliver museum-quality prints and framed portraits designed to last generations, though digital packages are also available if you prefer. I love photographing children of all ages and I’m DBS checked, so you can feel confident bringing babies and young ones to a session. I’ve undertaken long-form projects with school year groups and had work recognised by national competitions, and twice I’ve been a winner of Portrait of Britain — experience that informs every family session I take. If you want calm, beautifully lit family photography in Earlsfield and beyond — newborns, babies, children, milestone portraits (birthdays, baptisms, communions) or timeless group images — please get in touch. I’ll explain the process, help plan clothing and locations, and make sure your session produces images you’ll be proud to display for years to come.
