Specialist family photographer in East Barnet (N20). Mona creates relaxed, natural family portraits that celebrate real connections — from playful children’s shots to newborn and baby moments.
Mona Naem is a specialist family photographer based in East Barnet, N20. Her work centres on one simple idea: great family photos come from genuine connection. If you want joyful, timeless images that feel like you (not staged or stiff), Mona’s warm, people-first approach makes even the most camera-shy children relax and shine. Why choose Mona? Her background as a teacher shapes everything she does — from the way she prepares a session to how she guides families on the day. She always begins with a friendly pre-shoot chat so she can learn about your family, the little quirks that matter and the images you most want to treasure. That knowledge allows her to craft a personalised session that flows naturally, whether we’re exploring a favourite park, photographing at home or capturing newborn and baby moments in a calm, intimate setting. Mona favours natural light and a mix of creative, documentary and classic portrait styles. She blends candid storytelling with a few gentle prompts, using playful ice-breakers and simple games to capture genuine laughter, small gestures and the unscripted moments that make your family unique. The result is an album of images that feel honest, beautiful and timeless — photographs you’ll love to display and hand down. Working with Mona is relaxed and collaborative. After the session she carefully selects and edits your images, then shares them in a private online gallery so you and your family can view and share the photos with ease. If you’d like help turning images into a wall display or a portrait book, Mona enjoys advising on products and creating mock-ups so you can picture the finished piece. Although family photography is her core specialism, Mona also photographs newborns, babies and children with the same gentle, considered approach. Based in East Barnet, she understands local outdoor locations and how to make at-home shoots feel personal and stress-free. If you want family photos that capture laughter, connection and the small, meaningful details of your life together, Mona Naem is the trusted choice in East Barnet for natural, timeless family photography.
