Balham Bumps & Babies Photography

Balham Bumps & Babies is a specialist family photography service based in Furzedown, led by Juliet Savigear. As a mother and an experienced portrait photographer with a London Academy Diploma, Juliet’s work is rooted in a love of real family life — the small gestures, the bursts of laughter and the quiet, tender moments that make each family unique. Why choose Juliet for your family photos? Juliet’s sessions are deliberately relaxed and unhurried. She focuses on capturing the character of your children and the natural connections between family members rather than staging stiff poses. Whether you prefer at-home lifestyle portraits that reflect your daily life or outdoor shoots in favourite local parks and seasonal locations around South West London, Juliet tailors each session to your family’s personality and pace. She listens to what matters to you and plans shoots that feel comfortable and enjoyable for everyone involved. Her photographic style balances natural, candid moments with thoughtfully composed portraits. Juliet uses simple, timeless compositions and often offers colour and black-and-white processing to suit the mood of the images. She brings a gentle, patient touch that helps even camera-shy children relax and have fun, turning playtime into beautiful photographs to treasure. The process is friendly and collaborative: a pre-session conversation to understand your ideas, a relaxed photoshoot designed around your family’s routine, and professional editing that aims to present images which are a true reflection of your family. Juliet is also neurodiversity-friendly, creating an inclusive, calm environment for families who need adjustments to feel at ease. Based in Furzedown and covering nearby areas across London and Surrey, Balham Bumps & Babies specialises in family and maternity photography with a personal, storytelling approach. If you want family portraits that capture real life, laughter and the special relationships in your home, Juliet would love to discuss your session and help preserve those moments for years to come.
