With more than a decade of experience photographing everyday life and special occasions, Camila concentrates on creating images that feel authentic, relaxed and lasting — the kind of family photographs that become treasured memories. Why choose Camila for your family photos? Her strength is an ability to make the camera disappear. She combines a gentle, conversational manner with careful attention to light and composition so that even the most camera-shy children and new parents feel at ease. Whether you prefer an at-home newborn session, playful outdoor portraits in local parks, or a multi-generation family shoot, Camila focuses on natural interaction, candid smiles and small moments that tell your family’s story. Camila’s approach is rooted in documentary sensibilities: she looks for rhythm, gesture and genuine emotion rather than stiff poses. She brings this same sensitivity to newborn, baby and children photography — capturing those fleeting expressions and tiny details with patience and respect. For milestone events like baptisms, communions or birthday sessions, she balances unobtrusive reportage with a few thoughtful posed portraits so you have both story-driven images and classic family portraits. The process is straightforward and friendly. Camila starts with a short conversation to understand your family, your preferred locations and the mood you want to capture. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere, guiding gentle interactions and letting natural moments unfold. After the shoot, she carefully edits images to deliver a cohesive gallery of photographs that reflect your family’s personality. Many clients appreciate her attention to detail and the calm confidence she brings to every session. Based in Furzedown and working across London, Camila is proud to offer professional family photography that feels personal and unforced. While family portraiture is her core focus, her background in portrait and event photography informs a versatile, empathetic style. If you’re looking for warm, honest family photos — from newborn sessions to children’s portraits and milestone celebrations — Camila Pastorelli provides a thoughtful, experienced service that keeps your family at the heart of the image.
