The Gilded Lens Photography Ltd

The Gilded Lens Photography Ltd specialises in family photography from our East Barnet base, bringing over ten years’ experience to every family photoshoot. We focus on creating natural, light-filled portraits that feel honest and timeless — whether you’re booking a newborn session, a baby milestone shoot, children’s portraits, or photos for baptisms, communions and birthdays. Our approach is calm and personal. We believe the best family photos come from relaxed moments rather than forced poses. Using natural light and a gentle, empathetic style, we document the small, true interactions that tell your family’s story: a shared laugh, a quiet cuddle, a child lost in play. We also guide family group shots with subtle direction so everyone looks their best while the day still feels genuine and easy. Because children and babies have their own rhythms, we build sessions around what works for your family. Expect a friendly consultation beforehand to plan locations, outfits and any special moments you want preserved. On the day we work at your pace — outdoors in parks and neighbourhood settings or in comfortable, light-filled home environments — always prioritising your child’s comfort and safety. We offer a creative, documentary-led style with options for classic black-and-white or contemporary lifestyle imagery, giving you a mix of portraits and candid frames that hold up beautifully on walls and albums. Our experience with maternity and family shoots means we know how to capture the transition to parenthood as well as everyday family life, creating images you’ll return to for years. Choosing The Gilded Lens Photography Ltd means working with a photographer who values empathy, storytelling and craftsmanship. Based in East Barnet and serving families across North London, we aim to make every session enjoyable and memorable while delivering timeless family portraits that reflect who you are.
